So I've been dealing with Majano for years and have tried just about everything (picking off from the base, treating LR in a separate tank, Joe's Juice, Aptasia-X, vinegar, lemon juice, peppermint shrimp) and they keep coming back. They decimated all but two of my coral and I'm just about...

I've really been neglecting this tank lately. Work has been keeping me really busy. I need to find a way to keep it cooler. It got up to 86.5º the other day! :o Anyway, here are the pics. Let me know what you think. I normally have some grape coral on the top left but it fell and I...

I really love the way my tank has come together. My only problem is that my royal gramma has a bad case of ich that is refusing to go away. The rest of the fish are fine. Water parameters are fine. I'll try to get him into a qt tank soon. Anyway, here are the pics. Whaddaya think?

Hey everyone. I've been reading up on marine aquariums for over a year now and just took the dive with a 24g nano. Up to now I've got about 24 pounds of live sand and 15 pounds of live rock (fiji and tonga branch) in. I'm trying to figure out what I can stock my aquarium with. I've got a few...

Hi everyone. I am planning on starting a ~30 Sw tank and was wondering what sort of limitations I would have if I was to include a mantis shrimp into my tank. Does he hunt other inverts or do any damage to anything in the tank? I would like to add some coral, maybe an anemone, other shrimp...

I just purchased 3 chinese algae eaters because I heard that they will take care of my brown (short hair-like) algae problem. It's on my rocks and plants. Does anyone know if they eat brown algae. What other fish eat brown algae?

I gave a friend of mine a 5 gallon freshwater setup a while back and he just recently rteturned it to me. The water in his city was unbelievable hard and there are hard water deposits on the glass and heater unlike and I've seen before. I've soaked the tank in lemon water and these stains are...

Okay, well after about a year of asking questions, online research, and extensive reading I've decided to actually start purchasing the components of my reef. Now I was hoping you could give me some advice as far as what brands I should be looking at when it comes to all the components. So...

Hey everyone. I've recently had a little algae bloom in my 12 gallon tank and was wondering why it happened and what I can do to get rid of it. It's over two of the rocks, some of the exposed plant roots, and the edges of some plant leaves. Last time I had it I removed the rocks Itried...

Alot of my fish are swimming really close to the water return where the current is strong. It's as if they're anxiously waiting for something to come out of the return. Water params seem ok... What's wrong? BTW, this tank suddenly came down with ich. I'm slowely raising the temps and I'll...

Rid-Ich + questions.... I am so bummed, out of no where my beautiful 30 gal tank has a sudden outbreak of ich. It's a planted tank and has three snails in it. Does anyone know if I have to remove my inverts or my plants before I treat for ich with ridich +? From what I remember, you should...

Here's a short video of my 30 gallon FW Sorry it's sideways. I don't have any video editing software on this computer to fix it. Don't know why I made it, but I like it :) Right click, save as: http://mustangworld.thisisthebeginning.com/Fish.AVI

I was mindong my own business when I started hearing some very bizarre noises coming from my 30 gallon tank. I turn on the lights to see what's up and I see chunks of algae everywhere. Then I start checking to see if all my fish were there. I couldnt find my ropefish... I opened the hood of...

Okay, this is gonna be difficult. I'm purchasing a tank and I will be moving it some time within the next two weeks to my home. The tank hasn't been up too long so moving the LS won't release too many toxins into the water. It's a 120 gallon reef. I plan on putting the water, LR, LS, anemone...

Sorry, I forgot and I can't find it on the site anywhere.... :(

I have no idea what they are. Are they good or bad? Can I get rid of them if I wanted? They all developed after the LR was put in the tank. I have a feeling the brownish seaweed-life stuff could overtake the tank real quick.

Hey everyone. I was wondering if you could enlgihten me on some lighitng questions. I am about to purchase a 120 gallon SW tank that's already established. It has an aquamedic MH setup and I was wondering what kind of coral or clams I could successfully keep with these lights? I'm pretty...

Alright, well I've found a nice tank for sale and it's a whole lot bigger than I orginally planned for (which was an 80 gal) , but the price seems right. It's a 260 gal acrylic and is currently a FO tank with a large dog face puffer, pork puffer, 2 yellow tangs, emporator, rass, and a large...

Well, I bought my first Betta a few days ago and he's already building his first bubble nest. Is this a good sign or does it really not mean anything? Breeding Bettas sounds like in interesting task, but looks pretty time consuming. So, how long does this beavior last anyhow?

How different is it than your standard gravel substrate? Does it require more care? How do you clean the substrate? Do you just use a gravel vac and reduce the circulation so the sand doesn't get sucked up?

I've had a dojo loach for probably almost a year now and I have this feeling that he's not all that normal. He's always hidden somewhere in the tank and freaks out whenever he sees me or when anything hits the table the tank is sitting on. Whenever he sees me he panics and bolts through the...

I've had my cherry barbs for almost a year now and haven't had a single problem with them until a few days ago. I found one of my barbs laying on the bottom of the tank (belly on the floor) breathing slightly faster than normal. He's moved locations but tends to stay on one side of the tank...

Hey everyone. I'm strolling over from the tropical side of the boards b/c I've been looking into getting a reef tank set up for the past year and I could really use some advice right about now. I've been searching the recycler for some decent equipment, but can't really seem to find the right...

Jusr curious... I bought a oscar which I am going to give to a friend soon and am wondering what you feed him? He's probably a little over an inch right now. Sorry for the stupid question, but it's better to ask than misfeed.
