My ph is at 7.8. I thought the test was wrong and my cycle completed. I bought ten neon tetras last week to test the tank. The started dying within the next few days. I got them at petco because petco uses the municipal water, so the ph was the same Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I was told if my cycle is complete it should convert 1ppm of ammonia in 24 hrs. Its more like one week but stalls at .25 :( Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I am doing a fishless cycle with ammonium chloride. I kept it dosed at 4ppm in the beginning. As soon as i saw nitrites i stopped dosing to 4ppm and moved it down to 1ppm. My nitrites spiked than went to zero. After that i stopped dosin ammonia to see how long it take to hit 0. So far its been a...

Is a 125 gallon tank with a built in back sump/filter harder to maintain than a tank with a seperate sump? Im looking to do a fw tank snd found a great deal on a used fish tank Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My camera is broken on my phone but ill try to get a pic. My friend said adding a ten gallon wont improve it much where theres a noticeable difference. He said if i go sump, to atleast do a 20+ . I just dont want to use a hob overflow, i would have to tear down my tank partially to do it

Awesome thanks bro. Would bio pellet reactor be more effective than a sump refuge? What gives a bigger headache? LoL sorry im new to both these methods

I have a nano skimmer in the back of my cube already. If i go with the sump/refuge i will most definitely upgrade the skimmer too. What if i were to run bio pellets in a reactor?

I keep a few nassarius snails so they can stir up my sand bed from time to time, but other than that if you have good flow were detritus cant settle than your ok with out a cuc.

What do you have in the second chamber? Maybe get a elbow so you can mount the pump in a 90 degree angle for a tighter fit. Flexible tubing works best

I use to have the same problem on my hermits. I took them out and scrubbed it quickly with a new toothbrush under some tank water. It solved my problem. Im ocd like that lol

Hi guys. Its been awhile since I've used this forum because everything has gone so well but am glad to be back. I have a 30g reef tank full of softies and lps. I have decided to upgrade my tank instead of buying a whole new setup. Lately i have excess nutrients in the water so I'm getting...

Had it for 8 months. Parameters are perfect. I even acclimated it for two hours.

My anemone is has split and is now in 3 pieces. I just recently moved the tank to a new place. I ended up putting in a new sand bed. 4 inches in my 30 gallon. Any ideas why the anemone is stressed?

Ohh i get it. The name on the tank mustve been damaged. Allen, alien. LoL im so dumb. Thanks all

Just picked up a pair of these at my lfs today. They called it alien damsels. They change from a dull purple to this neon blue sporadically. And real names cause i cant find out how to care for them

Hard to tell with that picture. Usually if i dont know what it is i siphon it out. Better safe than sorry

I heard miracle mud will help jump start your refugium

Get your refugium thriving first and make sure theres ampful food before you get a dragonet. Ive seen dragonets thrive in a 20 gallon, but after a year after the refugium was set up. I say go for it

Mine has a blue hue on the lignin of their white stripes. It also appeared after a few months. They are also getting darker. My lfs calls them mocha clownfish. Breed between a reg and a black
