    Bubble magus curve 5

    My curve 5 works wonders on my 90 gallon. I don't see it struggling at all in a 110.

    Brown on my clownfish

    Thanks for the help but she didn't make it through the treatment. I might have waited too long.

    Brown on my clownfish

    Would treatment I'm qt with melafix (or similar) be a good idea. Or would that stress her more?

    Brown on my clownfish

    The article I read claimed that they are consuming something we don't/can't test for and they starve themselves out after two months, water changes will sustain them. It seems to match what I have noticed, a day after a water change they are stronger than ever. They seem to be receding...

    Brown on my clownfish

    Thanks, I am kind of in a pickle. It seems I need my parameters to rise to kill the dinos but in doing so the rest of my tank may suffer.

    Brown on my clownfish

    I suppose I should mention I am currently battling dinoflagellates. I have been 1 month without a water change and am planning 1 more. I found somewhere that they will starve themselves out after 2 months and it makes sense because the go crazy after a water change. That being said my...

    Brown on my clownfish

    My black clown has a brown patch on his front white bar, any idea what this could be and how to treat it. All other fish are healthy and there have been no new fish additions. My last fish was added over 6 months ago, I added an urchin 1 month ago and a shrimp 2 months ago. Please help.

    Eric's 90 gallon reef build.

    I just finished my 2 part dosing system and ATO. It is very nice to not have to dose every morning and pour a half a gallon of top off water in. It makes my parameters much more stable and easier to maintain. I set the whole thing up for ~$50 plus some supplies I already had, not too bad...

    Taking the plunge

    I'm sorry for your loss. Have you looked into the 1/4" clear mesh screen cover from bulk reef supply. I have been using it for a year and am very pleased. My Midas blenny has bounced off of it a few times that I have seen and been perfectly fine. Light penetrates it better than egg crate and...

    4 gal pico tank, 90 gal total water volume.

    Thanks, it will be a while before I get to upgrade the lighting for my condy. I will be adding some sexy shrimp soon though.

    4 gal pico tank, 90 gal total water volume.

    4 gal pico tank, 90 gal total water volume.

    I have been waiting to get this tank up and running for over a year now and I finally have water in it. The plumbing was a success. I have my gfo reactor return feeding it with water and a return line into the sump of my 90 gal. I am planning on doing a group of sexy shrimp and have plans for a...

    How do I wear down my puffers teeth

    I feed my saddle puffer with mostly krill, I rotate in some fresh clam and shrimp in the shell that I get from the grocery store. I cut the shrimp and freeze them to kill anything unwanted. I crush the clam after I freeze it and feed pieces of that. I have not noticed any excess growth of his...

    Plywood tank build

    Just a thought, I'm not sure if it will work for your house or not but you could do a corner tank with the 3 pains of glass. The main in the front, the 2 small off too the sides and the back 2 in the corner would be ply wood. You could get a much larger tank doing it that way and most of the...

    1000 gallon salt stocking

    In reading this it seems that you do have most fish that anyone suggests in one of your other tanks. I think it would be cool to make a Caribbean tank with a combination of all of the fish from this list at live aquaria http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/aquarium-fish-supplies.cfm?c=15+2730. I'm...

    Dotty back killing stuff

    Live aquaria is a great reference. You can sort by tank size as well. There are a lot of options for an 8 gal that will allow a successful tank. Here is a good list of options. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/aquarium-fish-supplies.cfm?c=15+2124&r=3119&s=ts&start=1&page_num=1&count=24 that is...

    Is my hammer coral ok?

    It looks similar to my hammer. The tips are small similar to a torch but are slightly elongated like a hammer. It looks good to me, the tentacles extend more in lower flow. You probably saw it in more flow so they were retracted a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Curious about prices

    Here in Salt Lake City Ut RODI is $0.25 per gallon and salt water is a bit more at my LFS. I still make my own with my BRS 4 stage RODI filter. It saves time money and effort with larger tanks. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    How long to observe a new fish in qt.

    How long to observe a new fish in qt.

    I haven't been on in a while since I got more into the tank than research once I had things figured out. But I'm back with a question. I have a kole tang in my qt for observation. I got him 2 weeks ago and he has been happy and healthy the whole time. He is eating nori like a pig and is...

    Top for adding an eel to a tank

    I have them on my 90 gal. They have little to no affect on lighting and IMO look great. They go together just like a window screen and are pretty sturdy.

    My first reef tank.

    Been a while since an update on this tank. It is now my fowlr kinda. I moved all my coral except the Kenya tree to my 90g reef and also moved my shrimp and most of my fish. All that is left is my coral beauty and my new addition. I just got my little valantini puffer today. He is so neat, he...
