    Little help?

    Yea my bad I got them mixed up. Yea I am going to let my tank just chill for about a week or so while doing a few water changes then maybe add a cheap fish in there to see if things are still going haywire.

    Do Powerhead scare fish

    Hm is it making noise or something? A little current shouldn't scare them too much but if they are still not eating after like two or three days you should definitely take it out.

    Little help?

    Yea I have already actually planned on doing that if my two hermits die. I really hope it doesn't come to that haha

    Do Powerhead scare fish

    Try pointing it a different way maybe? So the fish don't have to swim through the current to get their food. If not I'm sure they will get used to it.

    Little help?

    The tests were no ammonia or nitrates and a little color for nitrites. I am using tap water so I assume my phosphates and the like are quite high but thats nothing my fish weren't used to. My ph also checks out coming in around 8. I don't think it could be something like acid because I still...

    Little help?

    I had a fox face rabbit fish, niger trigger, blue spiney lobster, and spotted grouper in there. I added the blenny after all those were gone and out of the water. I have not done a water change since it all started happening though I should probably do that.

    Little help?

    So Friday I get home from work and all my fish are dead(I have had them for about 5 months). I tested my water Saturday and everything came up normal, so I figured it was alright to replace what I lost a little at a time. I added a lawn mower blenny Saturday to just test the waters first hand...

    Columnaris, ick, and starting over...

    Since it's empty and your fish have a place to stay out of your main tank I would personally just empty the main tank, clean all the decorations etc and start again from scratch. Either that or treat your main tank for all its illnesses but that can be a pain.

    chichlids

    Well for one it wouldn't be a good idea since they require two different temperatures and neither will thrive in a shared tank. Two, gold fish are very messy and depending on what kind of cichlids you get you are going to have dirty water. 3, depending on what cichlids you get the goldfish will...

    Freshwater eel question

    Hey all just a quick question on freshwater eels, I don't know much about them but am curious and maybe interested in getting some. If someone could point me in the direction of a website or something that'd be great. Do a lot of them eat feeders or what is their main diet also how big can they...

  14. SouthernSon

    Quick question

    Where is the most likely place it would be clogged?
  15. SouthernSon

    Quick question

    I'm fairly sure the water that drained was just going back down the return tube.
  16. SouthernSon

    Quick question

    Alright I got the return pump off and the water slowly went down below the overflow box's level. Is that proof right there it isn't clogged? I know somethings wrong though because I havn't had this oxygen problem before....And my protein skimmer in my sump isn't making any bubbles anymore...

    Quick question

    So I woke up this morning and my fish were at the top of the tank. I quickly checked my equipment and think i found the problem. I have a HOB overflow and I don't think it is working. By this I mean there is no water coming out of the other end of the tube for the wet/dry filter and the water...

    Couple of rookie questions.

    Dang....I took them all out last night but I added like 4 pounds of live rock so hopefully nothing will go too wrong....And I didn't mean having both in my sump i meant would having live rock in my aquarium and bioballs in my sump be ok?
  19. SouthernSon

    Couple of rookie questions.

    I feel like an idiot now I put some more water in to my sump and the white bubbles went away haha. Thanks for the help with the bio-balls too. Is there a certain level I should keep the water in my sump or is anywhere above the return pump but not spilling back into the wet dry filter good?
  20. SouthernSon

    Couple of rookie questions.

    Oh wait did you mean like is the water in my sump physically higher than the return pump in there? As in the return pump should stick out of the water a bit?
  21. SouthernSon

    Couple of rookie questions.

    Alright thanks man I was just wondering if it would benefit having both in. I will take the bio-balls out now. Also sorry for the real dumb question, how do I know if my water levels higher than my return pump? The return pump is in my sump isn't it?
  22. SouthernSon

    Couple of rookie questions.

    1) Is running live rock in my tank and bio-balls in my sump wet/dry filter alright? 2) Just did a water change and my spray bar is putting out a ton of little bubbles. Is that normal?
  23. SouthernSon
