Is anyone familiar how these work? I have never used one and have just set it up in my tank. I was wondering if the collection cup on top is suppose to be full of water?? I thought that the "foamy" stuff went in the collection cup. Also makes quite a fuzzy/hissing noise... it is brand new...

Good day, I have only been using an Emperor filter on my tank for water movement only. I was told to take out the cartridges as that could be making my nitrates higher. It is a 55G tank and i have approx. 75#'s of live rock. i wish thinking on getting 2 powerheads but not sure which size or...

yeah the dots are white, that why i started thinking it might be ick. would it be worth it to try the Kick-ick product before i tear the tank apart catching all fish? or would that just be a waste of time & $$$ ??

good day, Last week i noticed my Coral beauty and yellow tang had dots all over the body. All other fish in tank were fine. When i got home from work the dots were gone. This has been going on for a week now... every day or two the dots are there and then gone but since has only been on the...

I always check it before i put it in the tank, when doing a WC... i think i missed that step this time. I mixed the salt correctly... so i thought. My tank is FOWLR but i do also have some shrimp, herm crabs and brittle stars. I do not have any corals. I will bring it up a tiny bit...

I just did a water change couple days ago and checked my salinity today is at 1.019. It is on the very low side. How much should i mix and with how much water to bring it up a bit in the main tank? I am afraid to make it jump up too much and stress the fish!! Although they look fine and...

thanks for your reply... I don't have a camera suitable to photograph this little species. I know it is not a fire or bristleworm. I have seem those and this looks different. I did google search for feather duster worms and looks like might be that. But Would that be able to stick to the...

good day, I was wondering since my tank is now 6 months, should i have some critter to sift the sand? I notice on the front, inside the glass, these pencil line thin red worm looking things. They are not moving at least i cant see them moving. I didn't know if things that are there should...

Hi all, I am still fairly new to this and learning as i go. I just noticed in my tank (55 G... w/ 60# live rock been up running for 6 months now). Same few fish i have had for months so everything is going well. (I think). I was looking at the Tank and noticed a worm ( about 1/4" and...

hi, Thanks all for your help! Although i was going to start treatment.... it didn't make it :( I am watching the green chromis that had been in the QT tank... he still looks ok... should i do any treatments to the water or just watch this fish for any signs of disease? I am just so glad it...

good day... i am concerned for my new coral beauty who is still in QT, has been for 1 week since i bought him. 2 days ago i noticed the top of its body near the fins has a white filmy area on it (both sides of the body actually). Not white spots so i am not sure if it is ick? Would it be a...

Good day! I regularly check my water parameters, although NOT the calcium levels. I want to get the most coraline algae growth from my 60#'s of live rock... is using only the "purple up" ok? or should i also purchase a calcium test kit which seem to be pretty $$$ and add calcium...

good day:) How long is it before the 1st water change is needed? and how much water should i remove ? I have heard so many different things! thought to ask what others have done here. i've had the tank going for about 2 months... i have lots of new live rock about 60#s now in 55 Gall...

hi everyone, I am new to this forum & new to the salt water fish hobby. I just put (2) urchins in my tank today and i noticed they are "laying eggs"? or "spitting something" out! IS this normal or are they stressed out because of a new tank? Will the sea urchin hurt any kind of a anenome?
