I'm just as surprised as you are, lol. ;) SO, I'm back guys! I've missed you guys! I've been running my 125 gallon now for a bit over a year, and while things are okay, things could be a lot better-equipment/filtration wise. You may know that I tried to setup this tank as "cheaply" as I could...

Hello all! So, I did some research as to which was more effective at removing nitrates....an algae scrubber or refugium. It looks like the majority say a fuge is more effective. I think I would like to set one up (all equipment on this tank right now is HOB), but it has been a long while since I...

How would I imbed these photos in my post? Thank you! http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f11/redseas-125g-build-again-334965-2.html#post3373251

Have any of you ever used a protein skimmer by Coralife? I found this one, and it seems like a good price...what do you think? Thanks! Aquarium Protein Skimmers: Coralife Super Skimmer Needle Wheel Protein Skimmer

Hey everyone! I was just curious as to if you guys could recommend an online resource to purchase extra hermit crab shells for a decent price. Thanks for any suggestions you may have!

Hi all, As some of you now I have been looking to upgrade my tank for a while now, and came across a good deal on a four foot 150 gallon aquarium, however it is the four foot version. 24"L x 48"W x 30"H I know the general rule is that four footers are usually unacceptable for Tangs, but was...

Hi there, as some of you know, I am in the market for a new tank! I noticed this deal online, and was really excited. However, based on the photo, the stand looks extraordinarily weak, I just wanted to get a few opinions on how the stand quality looks (I know, it is difficult to tell from the...

Hello, I'm pretty sure this is not at all normal...I attached a not so great photo, you can kind of see it towards the middle of the heater near the black part.....kind of odd! Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Long story short, my neighbor is shutting down his freshwater (which I was originally going to take, but can no longer take due to a few unplanned factors), so I have his fish! Can you help me identify these? Sorry about the not so great photos. I know one of them is a Serpae Tetra. Thanks so...

So sorry, I have one more question I forgot to mention. Since I have well water, there is no need for me to add anything to it before using it for the tank, right? I can just put in straight in? Thanks so much! It has been a while since I had a freshwater setup and am used to saltwater.

Hi everyone, two quick questions today! Long story short, my neighbor is moving/shutting down his 125g tank, and I have a new 75g tank I intend to setup to put the fish in. 1. When we move his fish over Sunday, I know I will need lots of media/decor from his 125g to bring over the beneficial...

Hi everyone, So first off, it says (again) in the title because I have done this before! LOL. Here is the link to my thread which I started in 2011 if you want to see my old tank: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f14/redseas-125g-reef-build-179038.html I have regretted selling that tank...

Hi everyone, here is my Clownfish I have had for a little over a year now...upon looking closely....he seems to have some weird white fungus like stuff growing around his fins and part of his tail. At least that is what it looks like. Any suggestions on what this could he? He acts fine, and eats...

Have any of you had any luck keeping Macro in a display tank? I would love to considering that I am not keeping corals at the moment, and want something to make the tank look a little more natural. Plus I would also love the added water benefits! Any thoughts? Thanks guys, I appreciate it! :)

Hi everyone! So, I got three Mexican Turbo Snails on Sunday, and they have moved very little since the time I got them. Not sure what is going on, as the ones I had in the past were always super active. I haven't had these for a while so I cannot remember, but do they usually take this long to...

Hi everyone, I have some unfortunate news today... It appears that one of my Clownfish may have swim-bladder disease? He keeps staying upside down, stomach up. I did some research and it appears that it may be swim bladder disease. I have two questions: 1. Does this sound like swim bladder...

Hi everyone, I recently got a Black and White Clownfish to accompany my Black Ice which I have had since last November. I knew that there would be some fighting over dominance, but I am not sure how extreme I should let it get. I will say that my new Clown is showing some wear from my old one...

Hi everyone! :-) So I opened up an older salt bucket tonight to find that the top layer was as hard as rock. :( I guess it was not sealed up very well. I was able to break through the tough layer, and there is soft salt beneath it. I was wondering, is it acceptable to use the soft salt under...

Hi everyone, I had a question today on making saltwater for my aquarium. You know how it is standard to have have the moving with a pump for around 24 hours before placing it into your aquarium? Is this recommended so the water can get oxygenated, or so the extra salt can be dissolved. If this...

Hello, I have a bit of a problem. I noticed when making water the other day that it appeared blue. At this point the output was still on the sink, and part of my blue tube was also in the sink. At first I thought the light was reflecting off the blue tube and making the water appear blue, but...

Am I the only one getting odd advertisements? Some are slightly inappropriate, scam-like, and other odd ones (for instance, one that wants me to modify the software on my iPhone), etc. I used to get ads that were relevant to my interests for the most part (like fish, cell phone companies, etc.)...

Hello everyone! I have a quick question today! I was curious as to if sumps were absolutely necessary for larger tanks (like over 125g or around there). I am aware of the benefits to having one, but was curious as to if something would go awry in a larger tank (without coral if that makes a...

Hello everybody! As some of you know I have been planning to get a new saltwater tank, as I currently do not have any, and want to get back into the hobby. Originally, I wanted something bigger than 29g, but recently decided that was a poor idea because it would have to go in my basement (that...

Hello everyone, one of my Black Skirt Tetras seems to have a spot (definitely larger than ich) on one of his fins. Do you think it is possibly some kind of fungus? Thanks!

Hello, a friend sent me this photo of his Angel, which seems to have something going on with his fin. Any suggestions for my friend's Angelfish? Thank you!
