Hey, Does anyone have the edge aquarium? The LED lights are dead on the strip after only 6 months. I bought these http://ca-en.hagen.com/Aquatic/Lighting/Incandescent-Bulbs/11699 at petsmart thinking they were easy replacements...I dont know of any edge tanks that even use these...Has anyone...

Ive had my LR(55 lbs) for over 6 months now and I dont think its curing. I have 4 damsels. A redsea Prizm skimmer, one powerhead, and penguin biowheel. My tank just hasnt developed at all. My fish seem perfectly happy and healthy but I feel like im doing a bad job with this tank(i have been...

Im writing a speech on rip currents and I thought that it would be interesting to tell the class what kind of creatures they may be around if they were to get sucked out into the deep of the New Jersey Shoreline by a rip current. Does anyone know of what you may encounter or be near out there?

Iwas wondering if someone could help me configure my new skimmer. I have it put together and running but I have problems. When I connect the airline to "prime" the filter just simply runs and nothing collects. When I set the airline to the "hose barb" the collection cup quickly fills with foam...

**Im aware that I should throw the skimmer in the trash..lol** Ive had my fowlr 38 gal running for about 5 months. My skimmer hasnt collected once! I have been reading this: Reef Central Online Community - MOD seaclone skimmer I got a new brass airflow adjuster like one of the posters did...

I just recently realized when shining a flashlight on my tank (trying to find a fish in crevices...yeah idk) that I have a lot of amphipods. Apparently it is a good thing for the most part. But I read that if you see your fish shaking and shuttering that the amphipods may be causing your fish...

I got behind with my partial water changes on my 38 gal sw(fowlr) tank. Everything is covered in brown diatom. LFS said i needed a new light. So i just got that. Now to get rid of the diatom, any products out there that are good? I keep the glass clean as best I can but it would look nicer if I...

Its been about four months now(2 months with fish) and 3 with lr. I have a seaclone skimmer and it just doesnt collect any foam.First I tried opening the valve. Once opened and then closed a bit slowly a pure white foam mixed with water enters the collection cup. Thats not the right foam. Also...

Ok so I did the fishless cycle with raw shrimp and it worked fine, but this was before I got lr, I thought i'd get it sooner. Now that I have my lr can I do the fishless again and would this help speed the process of lr bacteria?

I just got started in sw. I have a 40 gal tank with about 2in bed of sand and 45 lbs of lr on the way. 1 protein skimmer and penguin bio. The tanks been established for about a month now, and ive noticed that I have an extreme evaporation problem. I replace about 1 gallon every two days. This...

I really like the price of http://www.aquacon.com/liverock2.html its only $99 and free shipping. But someone told me taht they were unreliable. The other is liveaquaria.com which is $80 plus $60 in shipping totaling about $145. Should I take a chance with aquacon or just go w/ liveaquaria who I...

I went to the lfs today to go lr shopping and they want 9.99 a lb. So I want to buy lr from Live rock I have a 38 gallon aquarium and I need advice on what rock to buy. I was thinking the premium fiji 25 lb pack and then a littlebit of base rock to make up the rest. Does this sound good?

I made the mistake of putting sand into my tank without prerinsing. I normally dont do this but because its sw i just couldnt rinse it out in tap water like i always do. So i just dumped it in and it rubsided after about 4 days. Then I moved the sand around again and it was back to cloudy. . . I...

I used the fishless cycling technique from the articles. I put 1 and 1/2 pieces of raw shrimp. The large one still isnt dissolved. Here is my question: I checked the ammonia everyday, and after 1 day the level went to .25ppm and the next day was the same but then it dropped to 0 and I checked to...

I just set up a 38 gal saltwater tank with a seaclone 100 skimmer. It hasnt been collecting any foam, but im assuming it takes about a day? Also I was wondering if I should use my extra penguin biowheel filter. My LFS said I dont need it but ive seen saltwater tanks with them.

Ok, I have a 38 gallon aquarium and I have a new skimmer. I just got about 40 lbs of aragonite sand. I also have plenty of salt. My question is, where do I mix the salt in? Can I fill the aquarium with tap water, then add conditioner, and then salt? Is it necessary to fill add conditioner...

I have a 38 gal tank and need a protein skimmer. I looked at the "COUNTER CURRENT PROTEIN SKIMMERS BY LEE'S". I dont think I like the idea that it needs an air pump. Does anyone have any suggestions that would be less than $50?

I just purchases some sand off of ebay. Its only a quart but its been in a tank before so it will have bacteria. Can I fill my aquarium (38 gal) and add the salt after, then finally put the sand in when I get more substrate?

My convict got beat up pretty bad by a zebra cichlid. I went out and purchased a 3 gallon tank and a mini filter to make a hospital tank. I dont really want to spend money on a heater so im wondering if using a blue heat lamp will be ok for heat? will it be harmful to the fish?

im going to be away from home for 10 days and i dont know what to leave in my 55 gallon cichlid tank. There are 11 cichlids in there and all are pretty much to their max size. What should i leave in there for the 10 days that im away?

in my cichlid tank i have a great rock setup, although there is one area in the front corner where one of my fish always tries to get through. While i was away he got stuck and the other fish were tanking bites out of him. Now it appears that he has lost his right eye. His fins are chewed as...

I have an empty 38 gallon aquarium with an AC500 and an extra penguin 200 if needed. I also have a powerhead and already used aragonite. I know nothing about saltwater tanks. I have had 4 successful freshwater tanks set up in the last year and i want to tey saltwater. I know that i need a...
