Hi guys. Ive been MIA for about 2 years or so i believe. I have a 120 gallon aquarium which i had to take apart and store because we moved. At my new house i took a look around and realized the black aquarium cabinet would look hideous with the new decor, so i decided to fancy it up a bit to...

Let me start off by saying i got a new tank, 125 Gallon with a 50 gallon sump, protein skimmer, U'V sterilizer, built in over flows, cabinets doorts on the sides blah blah, its good for a reef however, im having major issues with water evaporation. This is what it looks like at home. We got...

This is actually a background from my Mac. Im curious what the anemone is, i'd like to have it in my nano cube that sits next to the computer. This way, they'll match :wink:

I know the rock is ridiculously too much but I purchased more rock than i need as i plan to chip and cement the rocks to death until i can create the vision i have in my head. Looking forward to having every inch of rock eventually covered with some kind of coral. The rocks are going to be...

my aquarium water is crisp and clean except for billions of microscopic almost bubbles that are clouding up the water. ive traced the problem to my sump. the water comming out of the protein skimmer is heavily "bubbled up" its almost white its so bubbly. my main pump is suckling in this...

the sound of the water as it leaves the overflow box and zips down to the sump is AGITATING ME incredibly. the tank is in my bedroom. its a 12x13 room not that big, the noise is UMBEARABLE. any suggestions on how to silence it?

I am a perfectionist. I can't handle anything being wrong. The following are the conditions of my tank: Temperature: 81 degrees Ammonia: inbetween 0 and .25 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate!: 30PPM No matter how many water changes i do, i cant get the damn Nitrate to go lower. I want...

My black sailfin is harassing the the green clown goby. there are no wounds or scars on the goby, he's just consnatnly being chased. What can i do?

Ive noticed slight marks on the puffer but i dont feel like they are ick. Take a look at the video clip i uploaded and lemme know if its ick or just regular stuff that happens (bumping into rocks trying to eat my snails) http://www.tadeh.com/valentini.mov

ive uploaded a video clip that i recorded of one of my clowns. To me it seems like he's rapid gilling and his actions seem a little odd. You guys are the experts, what do you think? and before you ask water conditions are pristine and he's fed flake food, pellets, and live brine shrimp...

I have a wild clownfish thats been in my tank for 2 weeks and today i introduced the anenome. The fish doesn't want anything to do with it. If i put them both in a confined space will this force him to enter the anenome and see what he's missing?

i got a cleaner shrimp, but none of my fish want to have anything to do with them. i know he's eager to clean because if a fish goes by, he moves his antennae onto them trying to coax them to come near so he can clean them but they swim away in fear. any way to make the fish udnerstand what his...

Ive got a cucumber that does wonders for the tank but he never ever appears. he's always hidden behind all the rocks. is there anyway i can make him come out?

All the animals in my tank, ive researched thoroughly, but every site/book says something different. I'm pretty new to the hobby and i dont have a lot of time to sit and hand feed each little creature because i work and am a full time Marine Bio student. Here's the list, if you can, give me a...

I recently added two scissortail dartfish and i guess they're still scared and not used to the tank so they seem to enjoy hiding in the cave when im in the room, but if i hide or exit the room they come out and swim. Sometimes i get worried and check in the cave with a flashlight to see if...
