Howdy folks....haven't been back to this site for a while but sure is good to know it is up and running well at the new location now. My question is a two-part: First is about algae: It appears that I have both green and red algae. The green shows up mostly on the glass of the lid right...

Hi eveeryone.... Didn't really know where to put this question, so I hope this section will be all right. I just got a new 46 gallon salt water tank up and everything is fine. I wanted a bigger tank anyhow but what hurried me up was that my old 29 gallon tank started to leak into my...

I am still trying to get my tank water condition readings acceptable before obtaining my first fish which will be a Pernicular Clown. But right now I am concerned about this little creature I see crawling around on the glass inside the tank that is about 1/2 inch long and looks like a tick...

I am still trying to get my tank readings correct so I can get my first fish, but in the mean time I was looking in the tank and saw this creature that is rather white/tannish with long antennas crawling on the back glass. Sure looks just like a big tick or kind of like a beetle but flatter...

Hello..... I have had my first salt water tank up and running but no fish yet. Upon the advice of forum members I set up a quarantine tank with water from the main display tank and it has been up and running for 12 days now, but I am a little concerned about water condition readings and am...

My main tank is being cycled and is just about finished. On the advice of group members, I am setting up a quarantine tank. My question is how to set it up. I have to do a 30/40% waterchange in the main tank to heop bring down my still very low amonia readings to 0.....could I use that water...

I am quite a new member of the group(less than a month) and I have received wonderful advice. I currently have a post under "getting started" I am fascinated by this hobby and have had thoughts about having a huge saltwater tank in a restaurant someday, that goes all over the place. But...

I decided to use the "raw shrimp" approach to cycling my 29 gal tank and am into the 4th week, taking tank condition readings weekly.(expensive little strips..works out to about 1.00 a strip--cheaper way?) My nitrite levels have gone from 5 down to 0. But the nitrate level has been at 20 and...

Howdy everyone. I just joined Aquarium Advice today. I have just converted my 29 gallon fresh water to tank to all saltwater and plan to go all fish for a stretch. The tank is up an running: temp @ 76 degree, gravity at .021 and am using both undergrave and outside charcoal filled flow...
