My skimmer isn't bubbling much at all. I've got a 70 gallon tank with a pretty standard protein skimmer set-up, but the bubbles are barely coming off the surface of the water. How can I improve skimming? Thanks!

Is it good practice to add reverse osmosis purifed drinking water (purchased from purified water vending machine) as top-off water to replace evaporated water?

my lionfish yeah i dont plan on feeding him goldfish, and i am awared that the most common way they die is overfeeding... i have only fed him once, since i just got him a couple days ago. he is very willing to eat silversides right off a feeding stick. -- also have krill, shrimp, etc.. to...

I've got a new Volitans Lionfish, about 5 inches long or so right now. How much and how often do these guys like to be fed? I've read about 1-3 times a week, depending on food/size of food. Any thoughts?

I have a new tank, i'm about done cycling it with damsels and ready to step up to some "real" fish. I would like to get a lionfish, a snowflake eel, and a dog face puffer --- i was thinking of stocking the lionfish first since it is the shyest? any thoughts?

I've got a damsel with ich ... should I try and save him, or just euthanize him peacefully? I don't want my other fish getting sick too. Any thoughts?
