Thanks for the advice to both of you. I did place the tang in a quarantine tank just for a short time, if this does not work then butterfly has to go back to pet shop.

I just bought a "butterfly" fish and my yellow tang hates his guts. Tang keeps chasing him around the tank. I have a 55 gal. and already tried moving the rocks around but the chasing is still going on. Any suggestions out there? Thanks a bunch

3 days ago I bought a beautiful moray eel, it was around 1 1/2 ft. long. Anyway, next day it was dead...on the floor. My tank is covered except for the small slit in the back where the filter is. It got out thru there in the middle of the night I guess. I am so depressed... sorry guys, just...

I have 4 in a 55 gal., they are awesome cleaners!, they each have their own live rock, sometimes they can fight for the spot they are on, but nobody ends up dead.

Hello, I have a 30 gal. saltwater aquarium that I've been thinking in converting to freshwater. Is this ok? The filter is a skilter with protein skimmer in it, is it ok to use it too? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Excellent!! Thank you very much!

Hello, I have a 30gal. FOWLR, but now I'm planning to buy a 55gal. for saltwater and reef. Wish I could get a bigger one but can't afford it. Anyway, how many pounds of live sand, or coral and live rock would you guys recommend for this tanK? Plus how much lighting? What kind of filter...

Last night my 2 shrimps molted. Should I removed their skins from the tank? Also, my chocolate chip starfish likes to curl up around my fingers when I put them in the tank. Is that bad? for me to touch it? or for it to do that? I actually quite enjoy it! Thanks for your replies.

oooh, THANKS! I will try that.

Thanks Omar, I pulled the "plug" and let more air in making bubbles of course. It is REALLY NOISY so at night I put the plug back in. If you can give a little more details on that adding 1" of something that would be great. Thanks to all of you who replied to my post.

I have a 250 Skilter with protein skimmer all-in-one. It's been running for month now on my 30 gal. FOWLR aquarium. I also have 2 shrimps and 3 blue-legged crabs. Well, the filter has never produced any bubbles. Does that mean is not working properly?

thanks, should I leave the light on even at night? as far as live-rock, is 16 lbs. ok or should I had more?

I have a 30 gal tank with about 16 lbs of live-rock. I only have a 14 watt light bulb (the guy at the pet shop said it was pretty good light) and I usually turn it off at night. I feel like the whole thing is wrong for some reason. Any ideas? Also, my tank is one of those "tall" tanks, a...

THANK YOU!!! to all of you who responded to my question. I was out for the weekend and came back just now. You guys are great.

I just bought my first live-rock 2 days ago. Yesterday, it had this very small shrimp-looking guys crawling all over it. They are about 1/4 inch long and white. Are they actually shrimp? Plus there are other things that look like little hairs that come in and out of the holes in the rock...
