I have a 75 gallon, i just added a percula clown and my 6 line wrasse keeps picking at him. The clown stays at the top left of the tank, and rarely moves out of the corner. the clown eats well as long as food gets into the corner. I have moved the rock around to try and disrubt the wrasses...

I have an api test kit that stays kinda yellow, and a reef lab kit that stays just a shade of red. It is hard to tell a difference on the low scale. I was planning to add 50lbs more of live rock.

water is from a well, i have checked it, no phosphate, no nitrate. The salt is either instant ocean, or red sea. I am trying to lower the nitrates to purchase some soft coral, polyps and mushrooms. I have 1 colony of polyps, and 1 mushroom rock. They seem to be doing well but i thought my...

I can not get my nitrate levels below 10ppm. All the other tests are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrates, 10nitrates, 0 phosphate. The tank is a 75 gallon, with 80 lbs of live rock, crushed coral/sand, I do at least a 15% water change every 7-10 days. There are 2 fluval 305's without the filter pads those...

While im thinking about it are the neon pseudochromis as nasty as everyone tells me?

Will a yellow tang get along with a hippo tang? I have a 75 gallon tank, with only the hippo, algae blenny, and coral beauty, and a clown. Will adding a yellow to the mix cause problems for any of the other fish?

I have had a blue hippo tang for several weeks now. 4 days ago the tang developed a couple of spots on the top fin. She appears to periodically rub the fin on the live rock. I started treating with melafix 3 days ago. The top spot seems to have started to close, but the other 2 spots appear...

How much light do anemones, and clams need? I have 260 watts of light split evenly between 2 10k bulbs, and 2 atinic bulbs, in a 75 gallon reef. It works out to 3.4 watts per gallon. Do i need to plan on adding another 130 watt light strip? will more light hurt any fish, or inverts?

I recently purchased a pair of tank bred percula clowns. I was thinking of adding an anemone for them. Will they share one anemone? What would be a good anemone. I was hoping to stay away from carpets. Tank is 75 gallon, live rock, sand skimmer. Lights are 2 65w 50/50 and 2 65w atinic...

i have a canopy, any other suggestion of fish or invert species would be great. I prefer fish and inverts over coral so if i have to pass on the coral then so be it.

I can get water parameters on friday. I dont think the algae is a real headache, since the blennies are quite ferocious when feeding, and it gives the cleaners something to do. They seem to be cleaning the rocks and the sand in a timely fashion.

After my 75 got done cycling, i had a brown hair algae explosion growing on the live rocks. I have since added a cleaner crew consisting of the following 1 algae blenny 1 bicolor blenny 12 nassarius snails 12 bumblee snails 6 astrea snails 4 turbo snails 10 hermit crabs The cleaners seem to be...

I have a 75 gallon tank with 90lbs of live rock and 70lbs of live sand mixed in with 20lbs of dead sand. The tank has the following fish and i have a list of the different species that i would want to add. The tank has 1 diamond goby-hides in rock work 1 algae blenny 1 bi color blenny 12...

I will try sealing the bushings, the other thing i noticed s that the weight of the pump wants to drag the skimmer down. I was going to shim up the side opposite the pump since the screws in the back of the unit dont seem to do much.

i just got mine hooked up, and the pump is really loud it is a mag drive 3. I installed the overflow and it was like the pump was clicking against it. I removed the overflow box and i can still hear the pump. It almost sounds like it is grinding a little bit. Will this go away after the 48...

I have a 75 gallon tank that has just finished cycling. I was going to add a small group of inverts hermit crabs, turbo snails and assorted other detrius cleaners. Do i add them first or do i add a fish first, or does it matter? Tank has 90lbs of live rock, and 90lbs of live sand. Dual...

I the start of a 75 gallon mini reef, I am looking for a good quiet skimmer. All signs seem to point to the remora as a good hang on skimmer. Is this true?
