    Disturbed Live Sand.....

    Thank Y'all....Yessss I have new fish. My solution was if I keep it covered there will be less dust & pet hair, and also, keep my hands out of it, which will decrease stress.

    NOW I KNOW.....do not disturb the sand. Thinking I was doing a great job by moving the sand around near the front of my sea world, a total big mistake. Water tested: perfect. Fish & Corals: look healthy. Food: omega one, new life spectrum, & brine shrimp. Supplements: Selcon & garlic once a...

    My Rock Carpet costed me more than what it was worth!

    I'm not allowed to touch anything inside the water. The water also restarts the allergies because the anenome is constantly releasing poison. I didn't take it out. It relocated some where in the tank.. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

    My Rock Carpet costed me more than what it was worth!

    I've been in this hobby for approx 10 months now. I was cleaning & rearranging some corals & I got close to the anemone & I got stung. Didn't think anything about it, rinsed my arm with hot water & alcohol. 5 hours later, around 2am in the morning I was in the ER with severe pain in my arm...

    Hi.. I have a 75g hexagon. Very crowded! I did a 50% water change 2 months ago & lost some fish. Tank was too clean & nitrate was too high. I've read & spoke with experts & I was told not to do a 50% change. 20% is norm. 30% at the most. After researching, I decided to get a uv sterilizer for...
