I purchased one of these guys http://chunkypuff.net/speciesinfo.php?cat=3&id=nigroviridis recently and put him in my 29 gallon fresh. I have slowly been adding Instant Ocean to the tank. Still very low salinity levels. I would like to put him in my 10 gallon saltwater tank. According to that...

Earlier today my clownfish were both fine. Today I was talking on the phone and fed my fish. There were some pretty big flakes in there also. Well I got off the phone and looked. I notice my oldest O. clown was lieing on the bottom gasping. He was getting pale. No ick spots or rotting but color...

Could I keep a dwarf flame angel with 2 O. clowns, a royal gramma, and a firefish in a 38 gallon? I know that would be pretty much fully stocked. But after I get the gramma I am going to keep an eye on the water. About the only other fish I really even want would be a flame angel. Think this...

I have 2 O. Clowns in my 10 gallon now. They are rather small. I have a domino damsel in my 38 gallon which is finally cycled. I am thinking about adding the clowns to the 38. Not sure how the damsel will react. Think this a possible group that can stay together? Or does the damsel need to go?

Hirocks.com messed up and sent me 60lbs of rock. I think I have about 20 of it plus some live in my 10 gallon. Do you think this is to much? The percs don't seem to mind. And now there is plenty of hiding places.

Just wondering. I set up my 10 gallon because everyone at the LFS told me 10 gallon salt water tank couldn't be done. I want to know why people say this. A buddy and I both have a 10 gal SW tank. Very basic setups and they are doing great. Wonder when/how people got this assumption that 10...

Would the hermits eat the snails? I know they may attack them for their shells but I have a bunch of spare shells now. I have some turbo snails but they are not doing much of anything. I would like something else to clean up the sand and glass. Could I keep nassarius snails and blue leg hermits?

I ordered 30lbs of base rock from hirocks.com last night. I would like to try to get some good algea growth on it. I am not using fancy lighting but I have heard NO is enough for just rock. Buddy has been using stronium (pretty sure thats what it is) and he has been getting some good results...

I have a tank raised false percula clown. I managed to pick this one out of a tankfull because it was the best looking one. I thought anyways. I have had it for 2 weeks and just now noticed one of his bottom fins is missing. He just has a little stub. I noticed a few others at the place like...

Anyone using sand as freshwater substrate? I would like to use sand in my 29 gallon and keep some kuhli loaches and community fish. However I wasn't sure if sand was ok for loaches or not. Anyone have any advice? TIA

I currently have a small O. clown in my 10 gallon. I am wanting to add 1 more fish to this tank. I was going to get a firefish but have heard they are jumpy. I have no hood so it could just out of my tank. I would like to get another clown but many people have told me its hit or miss...

All these recent mantis shrimp captures have made me want one. I plan on setting up my spare 10 gallon for it. Some guys on here seem to think they could survive a trip on the UPS truck... Anybody out there who would send me on for the price of shipping?

My ammonia and everything is finally completely gone. I don't think I did a good enough cycle the first time. Anyways I am wanting to add one more fish. This will be it for this tank also. I already have one percula clown and I am trying to decide if I should get another perc or a firefish...

I saw one of these in my tank the other night but had no idea it was bad. I pulled my rock today looking for it. I "think" I saw it in a hole so I stabbed it with a sharp little pocket knife. Whatever I stabbed crunched a little and then sounded like gas was being expelled. Made a screaming...

Buddy of mine is beginning to have an algea problem. Blue leg hermits would probably fix the problem but he is worried that they will eat his feather dusters. He has a piece of rock that has 3-4 small feather dusters on it. If he gets some blue leg hermits will the feather dusters get eaten...

I noticed this guy in my tank the other night. I have no idea what it is. Friend of mine also noticed a very similar creature in his tank. But it is black. TIA [/img]

I have a single percula clown in my 10 gallon FOWLR tank. He came from a local store and is supposedly tank raised. I noticed at night he sits on the bottom. Pretty much motionless. Until he notices someone and "wakes" up. Then he will swim around and act very good. I was just wanting to make...

I bought some distilled water to use for water changes in my tanks. Does distilled water contain chlorine? If so how long should I let it sit up before it evaporates so I can add the water to my tank?

Me and a buddy just purchased a bag of this sand. We did some research online and found a few people using this sand. We were going to ask around before we decide to use it or not. This is all my local HD's carry. Can we use this?

I finally decided to pick up some life for my little 10 gallon FOWLR tank. Bought a tank raised perc for 19.98. Not to bad. A half dozen blue leg hermits for 5$ and 2 turbo snails for 4$. I have a piece of fiji rock in there that is completely covered with algea. Within an hour of putting...

I am just curious to know if anyone runs a tank without live rock. I was actually wondering if its possible to keep enough bacteria built up without it. I am getting rock for both my tanks. I was just wondering really.

I started a 10 gallon salt water tank 2 weeks ago. I made the mistake of throwing a few damsels in right away. Well actually me and a buddy did some swapping. I had 4 altogether at different times for a week. The last two died so the tank is empty. I had a hair over .25 ammonia two days ago...

I am setting up a 38 FOWLR tank. It is running now with my emperor 280 filter but no fish or anything cycling has happened yet so no problem to swap filters. I also have 2 aquaclear 300's or a brand new bio wheel 330. Which of these filters would you use? If I recall I think I had the...

First off I am sure this has been discussed numerous times BUT I searched it and came up with thousands of unrelated topics. Scanned through the first 10 pages looking for something as came up short. I know live sand is better BUT is crushed coral that bad as a substrate? I put it in my 38...

I am thinking about setting up a 29 gallon I have lieing around for a water storage/QT tank. I would like to set it up cheaply. I first planned on just keeping water in it so I would have a supply for water changes for the 10 and 38 gallon I have setup. I have a aquaclear 300 filter and a...
