I've got a 75 gallon with about 15 tropheus. Should I go with a fluval 406 , fx4 or fx6? I like to stick with the fluval brand as I'm happy with it over the years. Any input?

New life spectrum has the best flake food imo. My fish love it. I do feed My fish brine shrimp ones a week cause they go crazy for it.

I've got a few tangs in my tank. They used to get ich every few months. I've set up a big uv sterilizer. The flow is very slow thru the sterilizer. I've had no ich in at least 2 years. I do think the uv sterilizer helped. My opinion. But many will disagree

I'm setting up a African cichlids tank. Since I have a saltwater tank as well I've got a rodi water unit. I'm wondering if I can use that water for the freshwater setup? Or am I going to miss out on some minerals because the water is too clean?

So I just bought 3 LED units to replace my 250 watt halides. I really like the blue look. I turned down the whites to 20% and blue at 100. The questions is will this affect growth or do any harm to the corals?? I only have lps, softies and a few RBTA. I know blue is used allot by corals but the...

So I'm having a 125 6 feet long saltwater setup with LPS and softies and a few SPS. I'm running 3 250 watt halides and 4 T5 bulbs. I want to convert to LED halides. Which is a good brand of LED fixtures for a reasonable cost which would compare to the par of halides. Sent from my iPhone using...

It's not hard. You just need to be dedicated to it. Keeping an eye on your water parameters and adjusting to what is needed is important. I would say it's more expensive than hard. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

mine lives with bigger clowns, purple tangs, small angelfish and some damsels. for your size tank a dwarf angelfish, dwarf lionfish or big size clowns would probable be fine.

so my convicts keep breeding (i know weird) and ive covered my aquaclear HOB filter intake with some mesh so it wouldnt suck up the fry. Problem is it keeps plugging up so fast and the filter stop working. Any idea what i can do about this?

They don't need it necessarily but they do grow faster and bigger with some supplement food. Living creatures enjoy the occasional food supply Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I personally run all jebao return pumps on my aquariums. They are powerful, very quiet and not too expensive. I wouldn't run another return pump again. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have an open top aquarium and I gave up on six line wrasses. They keep jumping out the tank. They must love my floor tiles more Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

There is better high quality food out there. Even local grocery stores will have some shrimp or raw fish to feed the anemone. I wouldn't take the risk of spreading decease in my tank. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Is the reef octopus 2000 int a good skimmer? Anyone have experience with this skimmer? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Depends on your filtration. You've got allot of water volume. On my 40 gallon I do 5 gallons a week , on my 10 gallon 40% a week but on my 150 I only do a water change every few months. I dose everything and run phosban, biopellets and run a heavy duty skimmer. My parameters are dead on. No...

20 gallon is by far too small for an angelfish. Even a dwarf angel. My flame angel has been a model citizen. But I did have another one which loved my corals. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Yes it is easy. Just get a really good hole saw for glass, keep the water hose on it and let the bit do the work. A good glass bit is definitely not cheap tho. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Clearing the tank depends on your filtration system. A bit of filter floss helps to clear the water. Make sure to clean it often tho. It's a nice size tank. But it's a tall tank and allot of bigger fish need length to swim. The extra height does mean extra water volume which will help with the...

I just started another reef tank. It's been cycling for a month with no fish. Now I can gradually introduce a few crabs and snail. No fish for at least another 3 weeks. You definitely added too much fish too soon. Start slowly with one fish at a time. You can't rush a saltwater tank Sent from...

I used this sand when I converted my freshwater tank to salt. I just rinsed it out and it worked fine for my saltwater tank. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

The nitrates aren't what they should be but the other parameters are good. I think you're good to go. Start slow Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

We had a 4.8 earthquake as well. Lasted 10 seconds perhaps. I was glad to see my aquariums survived. Scary stuff Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
