Howdy, I just got an internship this fall in Washington, D.C. and I will not be able to take my saltwater tank with me. I am giving away the fish to good homes and I am selling the tank. The tank is very healthy and has been running now for about 2 years. The fish are all that old as well...

So I went ahead and purchased this system for my 20g long mini reef. http://www.aquatraders.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=12 So far I am very impressed with the system. The additional heat put into my aquarium is minimal (.2 degrees) with the lights on the mounting legs, however...

Howdy! I'm moving the PC lighting fixture on my 20g reef tank to my 75g fish only tank and getting new lighting. I was curious on what you guys think of this setup? http://www.aquatraders.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=185

How often should I change the water in my tank while doing hyposalinity treatment. I have been making daily trips to the LFS, and I'm getting really annoyed with them telling me that my fish are going to die with my salinity level at 1.009. (I'm using their refractometer.) Also, anyone know...

Well, I just moved my tank from my bedroom to my living room and all is going well (small cycle going on after draining all the water, moving the tank, and refilling) but before I move my fish back into it, I had a heating question. In my bedroom with my computer and other various electronics...

I have 3 starfish, a few snails, and a few hermits in my display tank. Would any of these guys be safe with a trigger (I like the Humu humus)?

Not sure if anyone remembers my tank crashing overnight 6 months back. Long story short, my Boxfish released Ostratoxin in the tank and I lost my Blond Naso Tang, Boxfish, Angler, Yellow Tang, and Yellow Eye Tang. Long story short, when I got up that morning, my GS Marroon Clown was clinging to...

Went to bed at 2:00 AM this morning and my tank was great. Got up this morning at 8:00 AM and every fish in my tank except my GS Maroon Clown was dead. I've had this group of fish for about 6 months no problem. I ran to the fish store and got 5 gallons of their water and set up my QT and got my...

Today was a very sad day for me. My ex-girlfriend, who bought me my aquarium has gone totally off the deepend. She didn't feed any of her fish for over a week (according to her brother) and told her brother she paid the power bill. She lied... He called me this morning and told me that the power...

After five labor intensive hours, I moved my 90 gallon to my new apartment last night. All fish were alive and well this morning, and both my Condy and my Rose anemones opened as usual. On another note, my entire body hurts...

How difficult is acrylic to cut. I found a 6 month used 36" Coralife PC striplight for $100 and bought it. However, it is about a 1/2" too long to fit under my hood. I was planning on cutting a hole out of the acrylic hood and mounting it on top. Is this difficult? Is it even possible?

It's been a bad aquarium day for me... Last night we get a power surge of some sort and it fries my PC lighting somehow, had to replace both bulbs. This makes me grumpy, but not ticked off yet. This morning when I get up, I start feeding my fish, and after about 5 minutes I still haven't seen...

How can I get rid of this stuff... I don't have clue how it got in my tank, the Liverock I purchased was from a LFS that had it sitting for over a month. I put the liverock in when I first set up my tank in December and this stuff first showed up about three weeks ago. For the past two weeks my...

The maroon clown that I just got seems to be shedding his slime coat in my QT. He hasn't eaten yet either. Any advice? SG: 1.24 Ammonia: 0 Nitrate: 10 Nitrite:0

My porcupine puffer in my 125 won't eat. He also has a white powder substance (ie bigger than ick). I've put him in a QT, but he's still not eating. SG: 1.024 Ammonia: 0 Nitrites: 0 Nitrates: .2 Any help would be great. Thanks!

I'm going to have to move to my new place in a few months and I wanted to start planning the best way to move my 65g tank. This is the first time that I've moved so any help would be nice.

This little guy came on my live rock... Is it a Mantis?

My girlfriend got me a large black perc clown from the LFS that she works at for Valentines day, She actually bought it a month ago and it has been marked sold there in the LFS quarantine room for that long. She gave it to me last night, and I was totally surprised, because everytime I go in...

Help help! I've misplaced my chart and can't seem to remember what the acceptable nitrate levels are 8O. Also, with all the bad news that gets posted here, I thought I'd post some good news. My clown and domino damsel survived their battle with velvet and are now back in my (no longer fishless)...

On the surface of my tank, a whiteish film has developed. I can actually break it apart with a net. My levels are are normal and everything seems happy in the tank (no fish just inverts, my 1 damsel had velvet and is spending another 2 weeks in the QT). Does this sound familier to anyone. Also...

I finally was able to catch my sick domino damsel (the only fish in my aquarium) and get it into a QT. I would like hel diagnosing what it has. It has one eye that is somewhat greyed over, the color on the front of its head is somewhat whitish, and her fins seem frayed. I checked for normal...

The clown in my 65g is madly in love with my powerhead, and has been from the momment I introduced it to the tank. I have a domino damsel that I have since added that immediately took to the long tentacled anenome that I got for my perc. Is that common or are my fish wierd? title edited as it...

I have a clown and a damsel that both appear to have velvet. I have a QT set up for them, but after I added the copper and some melafix, the aquarium smells like bad medicine. I added everything exactly the wat it said to in the instructions, and I wanted to make sure this was natural before I...

I added a Pink-tipped anemone to my aquarium, and he doesn't look at all like he did at the LFS. He's really spread out, and I can easily see his bottom area. It almost looks like he just bloomed out. He eats just fine. I was just wondering if this is natural in an anemone, I've never had one...

I just purchased a 65 gallon used aquarium. The only thing that the person had in it was a 3 striped damsel. She had let all of her live rock die off and it was invested with algae. In the move I believe the damsel got injured. It has some scratches on its body and it just lays on its side at...
