My tank has slowly been developing a bad algae problem. Its a 20 long with a 65 watts 50/50 Power Compact. Flows about 400gph. My dead bask rock and aragonite substrate is starting to be covered with hair like brown green algae. One of the rocks has 8" long strands of red tentacle looking...

I just added an adult firefish to my tank yesterday. Only other inhabitants are a pair of 1.5" false percs. They are chasing the firefish throughout the tank but not actually biting or making contact, just intimidating I guess. Will they come to terms with each other? I thought false percs were...

are these two fish ok together as the sole occupants of a tank?

I know that mandarins require a strong pod population to feed properly. If you have a newly established tank with no pod population. Can you buy pods from an online store and let them reproduce in your tank for a few weeks can you be confident the mandarin will have enough to eat. Can you simply...

I have had some issues with my freshly mixed salt water. Mainly getting positive ammonia readings when testing brand new distilled water + salt mixtures. I called aquarium pharmaceuticals and asked if their test was able to accurately test ammonia in water that has salt mix in it. They said...

I have a small firefish, was wondering if a royal gramma would be a good or bad decision later. Is it too aggressive for the firefish? Tank is not that big, 20 gallon long with plenty of rock.

Hi There My new firefish goby will only eat live brine shrimp, he eats it like there is no tomorrow. But when I try and feed it flakes (New Life Spectrum Optimum Salt h2o Flakes) he chews them and spits it out or just lets it sink. How can I get my fish to make the switch from live to prepared...

Would a red firefish be ok with a purple firefish in the same tank?

I am planning my 20g long tank fish only right now. I am trying to choose a substrate that will be the easiest to keep visibly clean. I can't decide between oolitic grain(.25-.5mm) size that I can't vacuum or something more coarse(1-2mm or 2-4mm) that I can vacuum. I will have 3-4 small...

Out all the different types. Which is usually the least flaky, I am looking for something that is not going to fragment all over the bottom of my tank.

I saw this limestone on ebay. Was wondering if would be safe and usable as base rock? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=20757&item=4330487860&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW&tc=photo

are snails or hermits better for taking care of fish waste.

What are some good creatures to eat uneaten fish food off the substrate? This would be for a 20 Gallon FO tank with no live rock and 2 small fish.

I realize that using distilled water for your water source eliminates the potential for introducing phosphate to your aquarium. My question is, with time does phosphate build up like nitrate and nitrite?

I am planning on getting oolitic aragonite .25-.5 grain size. I read that this sort of susbstrate has denitrifying properties. My tank is a 20G long. what depth should I go for? 1" 1.5" 2" ??? Thanks! Aamir

I only have one 20watt 50/50 bulb in my 20 gallon long tank. Will this be enough to support 30 lbs of Keys Rock? I guess the better question is, will the live rock lose its color and life, and "die" with this amount of lighting? also, will this live rock introduce unwated algae/organisms in...
