Hi everyone, I am looking for a little advice. My juvi porky puffer came down with ICH. We currently have him in a 10g QT tank with good water (0 Ammonia, 0 nitrates, and 0 Nitrites). We have been treating with Mardel Coppersafe and also have the API Copper test kit. No where on either the...

My 54g FOWLR tank has very good water quality. Occassionally such as now, the Nitrite goes up a little bit between the .12 - .25 range, which the reading is just a fraction of a shade darker than the light turquoise color of 0 on the Nitrite color test chart. I use nitrifying bacteria which I...

My friend said this was ick on my dogface puffer, so I moved him into a QT an hour ago, and added 1/2 recommended dosage of coppersafe (since the puffer is more sensitive to copper). Does this look like ich to you ? How long do I keep the fish inside this tank with the 1/2 dose of coppersafe...

I setup my 54g tank 6 weeks ago and began adding fish 2 weeks into it. Ever since, my ammonia for several weeks, and including now, has been .25, regardless of the amount of water changes I have done. I have been using Glacier water from a machine at my local supermarket, which has all the pure...

My tank has been up for several weeks, and is still in the process of cycling as fish have been added prematurely. My water levels were fine, except the ammonia which has been at .25 for a while. Recently my Nitrites increased to .25, so a friend of mine told me to add Nitrifying Bacteria...

My tank has been up for now 6 weeks, and regardless of what I do, I cant get ammonia level below .25. My nitrites were also close to zero before, but now they too are at .25. I have a dogface puffer, pink spotted goby, and 2 clownfish in the tank, and they appear fine, at least for now. My...

Smoke started coming out of fishes gills & mouth - video to prove - what happened ? I have a pink spotted watchman goby and added an 8lb piece of live rock to my tank earlier today. I watched the fish go and eat something red or orange off of the live rock, and all of a sudden the fish...

I have 2 clownfish that got introduced into my tank a week ago together. They along with a pink spotted watchmen goby, are the only 3 fish in my 54g tank. I want a pufferfish, particularly porcupine, but I am afraid that the porcupine might harrass the clowns. I would consider a dogface if...

I have been cycling my tank for about 14 days, and somewhat rushed to add fish before allowing for proper cycling, and added a blue damsel and pink spotted goby, about 3 days apart from one another. The fish appear fine (good color, eating, activity levels), but the water levels are far from...

I am trying to setup a 10 gallon saltwater hospital tank and leave it in my 4 year olds bedroom. This way he can have a tank that will house fish whenever they are sick, but I dont want to spend a lot of money. I anticipate fish being in there for 3 - 5 days when being medicated, so to put...

I just finished cycling my tank, and added 3 yellowtail damsels into the aquarium. They are now in the tank for about 5 days and doing ok. I now want to add another fish in, but with 3 damsels already in the tank choosing territories, I am afraid that any other fish that I put in, since it...

I went to insert this beautiful yet fake center piece into the tank to stand in front of the overflow box in the middle of my corner tank, and the decor keeps floating to the top. I believe that the cavern hole that is clearly visible fills the piece up with water, and the weight of the piece...

Hi, I am starting up my 52G saltwater aquarium, and right now, all I have inside the tank is live aquarium sand, and salt water at the proper levels. I put the mesh bag of chemi-pure in the compartment within my wet/dry filter, that contains the return pump back into the tank. The chemi-pure...

I could use a little advice here please: I bought a 52 Gallon Corner Bow Tank yesterday off of someone on Craigslist. It was used for saltwater and will remain that way with me. The guy pointed out that a 3/4" ball valve on the filter return side, broke off toward the top underbottom of the...
