It seemed that after a year of having a successful marine tank (patting on my own back) with an orbit compact flourescent fixture, that things would just be normal and stay as they are for long. BUT, as a couple who never seems to be happy with what we have, we splurged into a $900 36" metal...

im shopping around for blue moon lights for my tank. my tank is 36" long. what are my options?

our Coral Beauty has been terrorizing our Flame angel. Its been over a year now that the tank is running and we have never encountered anything like this. All fish were getting along just fine.. and still do.. just the coral beauty is now always after the flame. Flame angel is now in a little...

Im thinking of adding a HOB refugium to my 65 gallon tank. I was looking at this http://www.cpraquatic.com/products/aquafugeps.html What I dont know is if this will actually be beneficial to my tank. its only 4.5 gallons.

I am so so happy I finally ordered MH lighting for my tank. I was thinking it was the only thing that was missing. I have the skimmer, chiller, 2x96 PC lights, etc.. My Orbit 2x96 PC lights served well but were not strong enough for the type of tank i want so I bought this... PFO - Pro 36"...

I live on a pre-war building, 3rd floor, I currently have two tanks in my apartment one is 65 gallon reef (living room) and the other is a 55 gallon freshwater (kitchen). My girlfriend and I are thinking of upgrading our 65 gallon reef to either a 90 gallon or 110 gallon reef tank and getting...

I bought my yellow toadstool last week, and it was ok for two days, but I noticed that when things settle on it, the yellow coloration seem to concentrate more on and around the detritus that falls on it. I thought at first it was feeding on them. Then about a day or two later, it just started...

We bought a yellow polyps colony, they said it's a good begginner coral and we're very excited about it. Two polyps have detached from the original rock it came attached to. What does this mean? Are they spreading? or are they dying? They're loose now and those two are just sitting on little...

Does anyone use Chemi Pure inside the pre filter box for the Aqua C remora? Would two small bags be good enough?

was observing tank the other day to my amazement I see a small little snail near one of my ehiem powerheads. Its a baby turbo and its the cutest thing i have ever seen. I heard Turbos multiply to much.. should I be worried?

I recently aquired a used wet/dry filter with overflow and a 2200 lph pump made by Proclear aquatics from a friend and I am thinking of replacing my Eheim 2215 with it. I plan to use my Eheim for my african cichlids tank in the future. I have several questions about this used wet/dry filter. 1...

We live in queens, NY and have been to almost all the LFS in our area. It was troublesome finding all of them, some are a good find while some ended up being a waste of our time. So here is a simple review of all the LFS we've been to in the New York area for those newbies in NY or visitors who...

Two nights ago, I saw my Mandarin emaciated and barely moving, (another newbie mistake of purchasing a fishand putting it in an immature tank) her fins that normally undulate are steady and I can tell some heavy breathing. NOW, I can't seem to find her, she must be dead in the tank somewhere...

Another Newbie Mistake - for other newbies. Please believe everyone when they say it is not advisable to purchase a Mandarin fish unless your tank is old and stable. They will die of starvation in newly established tanks. Yes they will survive but only long enough for you to forget how much u...

I have a percula clown who's had his share of parasites. Before I used to think that when I find him covered with white spots all over, then 2 hours later, the white spots are gone, that he was always getting cleaned by my cleaner shrimps. THen reading up more on "ich" I read that when the...

In a few days I will be cleaning out my eheim canister filter and replace it with new pads. I will put two 10oz bags of Chemi-pure.. I am wondering what else can I put in there besides that? I only want media that will help keep the water crystal clear.

I have a 2215 running and I think its time to replace the media. I am wondering whats the best way to do this? replace with the same media? use something different like Chemi pure or some type of carbon? do I use tank water to clean the fitler? what do I really need in the canister? fitler...

I have an Arowana, which I've been able to keep for over two months now and with it are two Red Tiger Oscars which I've had since I set up my very first fish tank so they're kinda attached to me. NOW, my problem is that the Oscars are bullying my Arowana. I've aways wanted to care for an...

My girlfriend cleaned her eheim filter after seeing that stuff in the tubes two days later 3 fishes died. People said we shouldnt have cleaned the tubes with regular water but with water from the tank. I am begining to see the same stuff inside my eheim filter and tubes. This filter is for my...

Help anyone? I put some live plants in my 55 gallon freshwater tank the other day and ever since, My silver arowana refuses to eat... I may have stressed him over the decorating part... there is slight ammonia in the tank which is starting to go down. I've done water changes like crazy, maybe...

65 gallon with 40 lbs live sand, hardly enough, I've seen some tanks with a really deep sand bed and it looks awesome, also, I've read that my long tentacle anemone might just love a deeper sand bed so that it would finally bury it's foot on the sand. Question #1. Will I have an ammonia spike...

I changed the lay out of tha rocks in my tank moving them agains the back of the tank instead of the middle, I know it might have caused the fish and the inverts some stress but it will be the last time i stick my hand in my tank for reaaranging reasons... Now my question is, my condy anemones...
