Hello, I have a bit of a predicament and I'm not sure how to proceed. I got 2 butterfly fish to try to help clean up my aiptasia problem. So I quarantined them for a few weeks, no problem in the smaller 18gal tank. Now that they're in the bigger 70gal tank one won't stop picking on the other...

Ok, I searched and searched, and all I can find is that you can reuse biological filter media until it "can't be used anymore", "is totally blocked/no longer porous" or "is falling apart". Although the last one is pretty obvious, how can I tell with the first two? I have filter media that is 3...

I'm not sure exactly where to post this, so mods redirect at your discretion. This is just an FYI for those facing a similar problem, I thought I'd share my results. I live in a condo and even with the heat turned off in the winter it's still 75F, which is somewhat convenient because that's...

Ok, I've been trying to maintain a pH of around 8.2 in my tank for a while now (based on the datasheets I've read all of the fish I have like 8.1 to 8.4 range) but I just can't get it up. I tried 2 different "pH Up" products, the first one worked for about 8 hours, and now I have "Marine Buffer"...

I don't know where to post this, but I was talking with a guy at my LFS yesterday and he recommended this store, but I can't find a listing for it anywhere. I was hoping someone here might know about it :) Thanks!

I've been reading some people recommend waiting 24 hours after mixing saltwater before adding to the tank. Why is this? I don't have an RO/DI setup (yet), so for each 5 gallons I've been taking 4 gallons cold tap water, adding the water conditioner while filling, adding salt after filled...

Ok, for those guys out there who aren't so good with colours (I actually do have deuteranomaly) I absolutely hate testing with anything that requires me to compare colours. I already picked up a digital pH meter and digital TDS meter (for incoming water) but for the ammonia, nitrite, nitrite...

My FOWLR 75G tank has been running for about a month and a half now, I did the cycling thing and waited for the levels and got some nice fish and things are going great. I do not want to get into corals right now, however I was wondering about adding some salt water plants to make things look...

Hello everyone, I'm trying to get into the Saltwater setup and doing my homework and research, but I'd like to get the ball rolling before Christmas (I know it'll take several weeks to a month before I can put fish in, and even when I do I need to do it slowly, I just want to get it started...
