So, the last 10 times or so I've added water to my tank, i haven't had to add any salt, only water, cause the salt level reads high. I figured it was high the first couple times and would do just water to level off, but they have read high every time for months. Everyone seems healthy, just...

What would I be looking at as far as wattage? Anyone know where online I can find anything?

I'm thinking of turning my FO into a reef. I've got a 45 g tall and I think have a 10 W light (i know, i know). Anyway, how much would I be looking at to get the proper light and about how much light (90-100W)?? Also, any good recommondations where I could get one? Thanks, TK

I'm curious what you guys would do in this situation.... I bought a blue starfish on Friday from my LFS. Once I got home, i discovered a small 'wound' on one of his arms. By Sunday, 'stuff' was coming from his wounds (my shrimps aided in this). Anyway, the LFS is closed on Sunday, and he...

I have a 40 G with about 25 lbs of LR. I'm steadily getting more rock.

I'm looking for advice for 3 questions: 1) I finally added a protein skimmer to my FOWLR (i was told my many people that a FO doesn't need a skimmer....tell that to all my fish that died). Anyway, I'm curious how often you guys clean out your crap that builds up in there. I just want to make...

the tank is not a new setup...but up for about 6 months, just never had a protein skimmer before. I'm also still running my regular bio-wheel filter.....will that cause any problems?

I've got a: -45 g tall tank -about 30-35 lbs of LR. -1 blue damsel -1 yellow eyed tang -1 scooter blenny -1 banded shrimp -1 choc chip starfish -a few craps and snails I bought a new SeaClone 100 protein skimmer on Sunday afternoon and there is still no 'scum' at the top. I've never had a...

Strike two. For the second time I had a rapid complete die off of my fish. Just when I thought I had things figured out from the first time this happened, pretty much all my fish died at once. This was about 3 weeks ago. Got my water checked today and everything seems back to normal after...

I got a bi-color blenny this weekend. He of course hides a lot and my LFS said he'd come out and eat during feeding time. However, I'm not too confident on that. Can any blenny pros out there give any suggestions about what/how to feed them? TIA.

The tank has been set up for probably 5 months. I've let it cycle after every time and have been checking the water weekly. Right now I only have a small blue damsel, a choc. chip star, and a few hermit crabs. The damsel MAY be stressing the clown from chasing him everyone once and a while...

I got a Percula Clown and an Auriga Butterfly this weekend and neither of them has eaten yet. I've tried flake food with brine shrimp and also some frozen mysos shrimp, but no luck with either. My fish ate either option before with no problem. Then I had a sudden die-off (I think from an...
