    New Setup for my 125g and my 40g breeder

    I have been preparing for a move so I have converted my empty 40g saltwater to a freshwater and moved the fish from my 55g and 6g Fluval edge as well as rearranging my 125g. Tell me what you think, good or bad, I don't mind. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Is this possibly my problem?

    So about 4-6 months ago I switched my sand from normal argonite sand to black petco brand sand but put the other sand in a chamber in my sump for DSB benefits. About a month after that I got an led light off of amazon and bleached a few corals along with a nem, but since then any new corals...

    Yellow Mantis Reef Tank?

    I have a 6g fluval edge with just a yellow mantis in it and I love him but his tank seems so barren... I was thinking of fragging a couple soft corals and placing them in there. I have Xenia and Kenya tree corals and I was thinking maybe some mushrooms. I'm also not sure how to light it, I was...

    Can you keep different color BTAs together?

    So really like BTAs but before I spend money getting the "off" colored ones I was gonna try a GBTA. I guess what I'm asking is could I do a reef of just different BTA color morphs?

    Goniopora, what to do?

    So I was a bad aquarist and bought a goniopora as my first coral thinking it was a type of octocoral. Only after I got home did I realize this was not the case and since my LFS doesn't take returns of ANY kind, and I have no other reef keeping friends or associates, I did a bunch of research...

    SeaChem Biomax ?

    Is the seachem Biomax filter media really any better than the fluval rings? I run an FX5 on a 125 with 3 8-9" oscars and a 7-8" Red eared slider so my bio load is high and I do 80-90% water changes every 2 weeks or so but I was wondering if this would help any more than the fluval stuff with my...

    Good deal or No?

    So I just bought the 220 gallon model, kind of an impulse but as it was on sale, just wondering if I got a decent skimmer or not. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+4392+13924&pcatid=13924

    Possible 125g Stock

    So recently I've been working on the wife to get permission for a 125g saltwater. She loves porcupine puffers so I've been using that to coerce her into allowing a 2nd 125g. My potential stocking list is as follows: Saltwater (125g) Porcupine Puffer - $30 Blue Throat Triggerfish - $70...

    Sick urchin or no big deal?

    I have a longspine urchin who recently started to develop pale spines in a pentaradially symmetrical pattern. Idk if I should be worried or be doing anything to help. He mows down my hair algae pretty well, he's about 2" across the main part of his body about 4-5" long spines. I just would like...

    Ants swarming tank?

    So I'm away for a week and my fiancée just informed me I have ants in and around my tank. She said there are no fish missing or dead fish behind the tank or under the lights. She said there's no spilled food anywhere and I just did an 80% wc before I left. Anybody have any ideas?

    New to nems

    So my tank has been up for about 8 months now and I decided to try my hand at a condy anemone. From what I've gathered through the Internet, he looks pretty healthy, not bleached (he isn't quite as tan as he was at the LFS but that may just be the difference in lighting or the stress of the move...

    Re-Scaped 3 Tanks and built a lid for a 4th.

    I re-scaped my 125g Mixed SA cichlid tank, my 37g figure 8 puffer tank & my 40g breeder reef tank. Any input on any tank scape is welcome and encouraged. I also built a lid for my 5g pea puffer tank. My 125g My 37g My 40g Breeder (night light is on so both corals are closed) My new lid...

    Why are all my fish on the verge of death?

    All the fish in my 40g tank are sluggish and are breathing really fast/heavy. I have a Green Spotted Puffer, a fuzzy dwarf lionfish, an Ocellaris clownfish and a blue damsel. All of my inverts seem fine and my baby snowflake eel (added yesterday) appears unaffected. My levels are: Ammo-0...

    Possible Mushrooms on my LR

    My 40g breeder tank has been set up for 3-4 months but the LR was in a 37g tall for 1-2 months prior to that. I re-scaped my tank about a month ago when I added a sump/fuge to my system and didnt notice the "growths". I have a 4x24 watt T5HO fixture. I am pretty new to the saltwater side of...

    My Pea Puffer and his new 5g abode.

    So I bought a couple of figure 8 puffers the other day and the was a pea puffer in the tank with them. He was not looking so good so I asked how much he was and the guy said $2 but he would be dead before the day was out. I bought him anyway. I placed him in a breeder net in my cichlid tank to...

    Oscar Eggs?

    My 2 approximately 8" oscars have claimed a side of the tank and attack everything including my hand that makes it to their side of the tank. They cleared all of the sand off of the bottom in one spot and this morning I found little tan beads I am assuming are eggs. If this is the case what do I...

    Wanted: 100+ Gallon used acrylic tank.

    I'm looking for a 100+ Gallon acrylic tank to replace my 125g Glass. I'm in the military and move fairly often and the 300+lb glass aquarium is just too much hassle. I currently reside in Philadelphia and would pay for shipping as long as its reasonable but would prefer local pickup if possible.

    Columbian Shark Stabbed by Lionfish

    So I'm 99.9% sure my columbian shark received a prick from my fuzzy dwarf lionfish. He now appears to be having an adverse reaction which leads me to believe he has been envenomated. He's having slight difficulties swimming but still able to get around alright. I just want to know if he is going...
