I have a whitetail pygmy angelfish and it gets along with the other fish I have fine. The pygmy was a little aggressive towards some of the fish until they each established their areas (lasted about 2 days) since then no problems what so ever. I think with any angel you have to have fish that...

I want to upgrade to a larger tank (60-125 gallons) and I am started to do my homework. I'm looking around, and I am finding alot of tanks that come with canister filters. Which is better, a self contained canister filter or using a sump tank filter system?

Well i did a PWC of about 10% yesterday morning. Test the water today and Ammonia 0ppm nitrites 0ppm nitrates 10ppm. Looks like everything is find but i sure would like to know what caused the spike in the first place.

I have the biocube and just use the biocube fliter system and did buy about 20 pound of live sand (about 2 inches). I do a 2-3 gallon water change once a week. Last night i did a 5 gallon water change. Tested the water this morning and nitrites at 0.25 ppm o ammonia PH 8.2 and nitrate about...

I have a 29 gallon biocube with no protein skimmer. I bought the tank and set it up with saltwater then went back to the LFS and bought the live rock (abou t25 pounds) and added it to the tank with live sand. After a week i added fish pellets for the ammonia. After a month of good test for PH...

Correct me if I am wrong (which is probably the case) but since i haven't had any ammonia or nitrites and a small amount of nitrates doesn't that mean my tank's bio-filteration (bacteria, and live rock) is doing exactly what it should be doing?

I've only have the tank for 2 month. I never really had a true cycle. I waited a month then added a few fish snails and crabs. I have never had any spike at all since i started the tank.

The cause has to be the extra food it put in there. It was pellet food and the fish just looked at it. I think the food braking down in the tank has to be the cause of the spike.

I have had my tank for 2 month and ever since day one the water has tested good (no ammonia, no nitrites and nitrates are consistently under 10 ppm). I tried a new food for the fish (they didn't eat any of it) so it just sat on the floor of the tank over night. Today I tested the water and for...

I have about 1.5 inches of a sand coral mix in my 29 gallon tank. Is that enough? Also, can i just add more sand on top of the san i have?

I have a 29gal. biocube and was thinking of getting a sump take for it. Will this help my tank or am I just wasting money? Can anyone suggest a good sump tank that isn't overkill for my small tank?

I have about 20 pound of live rock in a 29 gallion tank. The tank has already cycled and i already have 2 fish that are doing great. If I buy more live rock and add it to the tank with this send my tank into another cycle and kill my fish?

I just set-up a 29 gallion salt water take. Do I need a protein skimmer? If so does anyone have any experience with the protein skimmer that is made for the biocube (BioCube Protein Skimmer). I only have about 20 pound of live rock and acouple fish right now but i do want to get some coral in...

I bought the live rocks from a local fish store. The rocks were in big fish tanks with moving water. I have checked everything once a day and everything is perfect. The live rock look exactly how they did when i brought them home. They were only out of the water for 20 min.

I just found out i have aiptsia in my tank. Should I get rid of it?

I'm just bought my first salt water tank and set it up 3 days ago with live sand and live rocks. I tested the water today and everthing is perfect (no amonia, nirates, nitrite, salt content is perfect, the PH levels are perfect, and there is no odor from the tank). The live rocks look the same...
