    Contradictory Test results

    Ok all, how do you resolve this? I test my water parameters with the Hagen made test kits. When I decided to test the results against a Marsdel test kit, I'm getting 2 different results which are not even close! (One says my Nitrate is 5PPM, the other says 40PPM!!!) I did just lose a Feather...

    Feather Duster Problem

    If a Feather Duster leaves it's tube, is it doomed or is there still some hope? Can I do anything for it or should I leave it be? ALso, what would cause it to leave its tube? My water conditions are good and my other 7 dusters are doing fine. Thanks!

    Algae

    I got this brownish algae growing on the side of my tank and my live sand has patches of brown in it. I'm gonna add some snails and hermit crabs in soon. This should take care of this right?

    Common Clown behavior

    Is it normal for 2 Common Clownfish to pick a spot in a tank and just kind of hang there? I just introduced 2 Clownfishes to my tank today and they tend to stay to the side of the tank and waddle back and forth there without checking out the rest of their universe. :D

    Best Mix

    Hello, I'm about ready to put my livestock in over the next month or so. I want to start with 2 Clownfishes. I have a 75 Gal tank with 3" of LS and 75 lbs. of LR. I would like a mix but I want to also have fish that won't kill each other. I do plan on some Invertebrae for the tank. Any suggestions?

    Really shy Clown Loachs

    Hello, Last week I got 2 Clown Loachs for my 55 gallon tank. I put them in after a small break in period and I haven't seen them in the open very much. I have a rock decoration that has a small cave inside. I know they hide out in there. I wonder if there is something wrong or is it natural for...

    Tiger Barbs getting along with other fishes

    Hello everybody! I'm new here but this place seems like a great place for help. I have a 55 gallon tank. I have 8 Tiger Barbs, 2 Gouramis, 2 Angels, 3 Clown Loachs, 4 Black Fin Tetras, and a Betta. I was informed that the Barbs should be kept in schools of 8-12 to help curb the fin nipping, but...
