Hi, Recently, my tank just started to have alge boom or diatom boom, i'm not sure what exactly they are, but they look sort like spiderweb, with brownish color. and i'm not sure if it was that reason or some other mysterious reason, my snails started to die, 4 has already fell victim..>_<...

I've come to think about this question couple of times, and i dont seem to find a strong argument to have water changes when you have good circulation of water as well as good filtration from LR and LS. i think i'm missing something here, what makes water change so important if the stated...

hi everyone~ its me~ my tank has been established for about a month and half now, and my two false clown fish has been in the tank almost a month now. so i'm thinking of getting some more lifestocks into the tank. but im wondering if it would be too early to put in corals now, my intention is...

hi everyone, my tank is a little over 1 month old now, and its got 2 false clown fish and numerous cleaning crews. recently i did a water change about 15% and cleaning the inner side of the tank since its getting dirty(diatoms probably and some alges). and i have discovered that my tank is...

i had two cleaner shrimp before, but the big one died away and i suspect it was due to the water condition (the water was probably in the 2nd phase through cycling when i put the shrimps in>_<) now, the smaller one has molted twice since 9/10, which i suppose its doing really well. but i want to...

Hi~ I finally got my tank cycled now. Everything is going good, which i'm very happy. My two clown fish were introduced to the tank on the 24th. its been couple days now and they are still very scared of any movements. I bought them from LFS and the person who net the clown was really NOT...

i have two PH in my 20 gal tank which i tried to make a cross current from them. but i have a question, what would happen if one of the PH is stronger? well, i know i wont get much of a "x" shape current, but i'm hoping that there would still be currents or water movements everywhere in the tank.

Hi all, I'm a new hatched SW "hobbist" (only starting). I have this question about cycling the main tank. Do i do any water changes to the main tank while its cycling? my main tank currently is at .75ppm for NH4 and .5ppm for NO2... would water change reduce the bacteria population in the...

I know that LFS uses "purified" water to mix with their salt. But i dont know anywhere to purchase purified water besides my LFS. Could i possibly use other water? maybe distilled water? TIA!! :oops:

Hey, My clownfish actually seem to have the same symptoms as yours. When i bought it from the LFS it seemed fine (Thursday) but once i introduced it to the tank, it started to show those symptoms for the past few days. Could it be the cause that my tank is only a newly built tank? I hope i...

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to saltwater and reef aqarium, i just acquired a 20g fish and reef system recently, there isnt any corals yet, just clown fish and some cleaning crews, but i'm thinking of getting a timer for the light, where would be a good place to get it?
