hi, I have a digital camera, a 4.1 MP sony cybershot and want to take some pictures of my tank, but everytime I do they always turn out blurry. I'm not too knowledgable when it comes to cameras, so can anyone give me some advice on what to do to get clear pictures. I've tryed with both the...

I've had a 30 gallon saltwater tank setup for about 10 months now with 20 lbs. of live rock, 2 clownfish, 2 hermit crabs, and 12 snails. Recently I just noticed shiny small perfectly round dark green balls attached to my liverock in clusters. Are these eggs from the clownfish? or are they...

red legged crabs, I sorta doubt it was them, cause whenever I see any snails on the bottom, the snails never even bother with them unless they've been dead for at least a day or so

thanks, I'll try that. What should I use to raise the KH and also balance out calcium and KH?

I have a partial glass top, but it's not sitting directly on top of the tank, it's just to protect the light bulbs from water splashing on them. I have lots of circulation on the water surface. As for the pH being high, I have no clue how it could get high, the only thing I can think of is...

I have a 29 Gallon with two clownfish, 3 Crabs, and previously 12 Astrea snails. My tank is 3 months old, and I've had 9 snails die in the last month, and my clownfish just go up and down the side of the tank like they want to get out. I can't figure out whats wrong. My ammonia, nitrite and...

I started dripping kalk 24/7 recently, since both my KH and calcium were both low, but I've noticed since I started my KH has went up but my calcium has stayed pretty much the same, if not a little lower, what could be causing this, and what supplements should I get to balance this out so that...

I've been looking around grocery stores for pickling lime (calcium hydroxide) and have been unsuccessful. I heard it is used for hardening pickles? In all the grocery stores I've looked in, they don't sell calcium hydroxide to harden pickles but they do have something called "Pickle crisp" ...

yeah, sorry, that was a typo, they're so close, lol, my nitrites are at 0 and my nitrates are also undetectable

will do, thanks for all the advice, will post later how it goes

8 NO lights 160Watts total

I'd like to get some soft and LPS corals. As for the levels being maintained with waterchanges, I haven't had to do any since my tank cycled, (month and a half ago) my paramiters have been excellent, nitrites are undetectable. If I don't need waterchanges often will these levels still be...

my Ca is at 360 and my KH at 70

I am clueless when it comes to the use of supplements since I have just started out. I have a 30 Gallon tank FOWLR right now that I am going to start adding corals to soon. I have heard of using kalkwasser to raise calcium and alkilinity, by using a drip method. I made a DIY drip dispencer out...

has anyone here ever used JBJ powerheads, a friend of mine uses them and swears by them, he says they're just as good as maxijets, if not better, He told me to go buy a JBJ 2500 for my 55 gallon, it's dual output and pumps 530gph, does anyone have any input on this brand of powerheads?
