So I have a 50g tank with 20g Sump just had an ich outbreak which killed the few fish I had so I am leaving it fallow for 9 weeks and it has been fallow for 3 already so I want to purchase one or two fish to go through 6 weeks of quarantine and finish with that around the same time that the...

So I have a 50g DT with a 20gL sump. I had an outbreak of ich. All but one of my fish died (Purple Firefish survived). I'm going to do the tank transfer for 12 days while treating for a few things then quarantining for 4-8 weeks which will leave the DT fallow for the appropriate amount of time...

So I had three fish (yellowtail damsel, jewel damsel, purple dart fish) in my DT and I thought that my jewel had ich then it and the other damsel died before I could confirm (two weeks ago). My fire fish has never displayed any signs of ich at all but I know only one stage is visible. What...

So I have a 50g DT with a 20g sump. I currently have a pair of clownfish, six line wrasse, purple fire fish, and coral beauty angel. Could I add a flame angel? Or a flasher wrasse? I also plan on adding a royal gramma and jewel damsel

So I recently noticed a lot of little things on the sandbed of my 50g that look like cat poops or something. Any ideas what they are or where they come from?

I am converting my 20g long (30" long) into my sump/refugium. I plan on dividing it into 3 chambers. The first chamber is where the water will enter from the DT. Eventually I will by a filter sock holder/filter sock (but I wont have it at first) and the water will drain directly into this...

So I had a 50g fall into my lap and so I'm going to transfer the contents of my 20g long into it. I need some stocking help. This is what I have: Royal Gramma Basslet Purple Firefish Sixline Wrasse I want a green mandarin and maybe a pretty angle (coral beauty) Help me with some full...

So I have a friend build me a stand for my 20g that could take a bigger stand when I upgraded later. I found a 50g tank on CL for cheap. Currently I have a HOB overflow/return system that goes at about 200 gph. I was wondering if it would be just fine to keep that with the new tank and just add...

Good Morning! First I'll give you my system as it is setup now and my readings for all the normal stuff and you can advise me from there. I have a 20g Long setup with a 10g Sump/Refugium. I have 165W 55 LED Full spectrum light that hang 14 inches from top of water. I have 200 gph return pump...

Over the last few weeks the tentacles of my frogspawn and whisker corals have looked really fat. There are also light dots on the sides of the frogspawn tentacles. Is that normal? Also my zoas rarely open up anymore and not sure why.

I moved my 20g setup to my house this week and sadly last night my firefish died. I was wondering thoughts on what to replace it with. I am currently stocked with Purple Firefish, Sixline Wrasse, and Royal Gramma Basslet....

I currently have the 165w 55 LED full spectrum lighting. My question is what would be an optimal lighting schedule? It's at my office where I work 9 to 5. Currently I have the white side running from 7a-7p and the blue side running from 5a-9p. Then I have my refugium light on from 9p-5a...

So I used aqadvisor for my freshwater to help stock it. I know that they have a saltwater side. The thing I like is that they take it to account bioload stocking capacity and weekly water changes. Is it accurate though? For example in my 20g long with 10g sump/refugium: I will have Firefish...

so I just bought the API phosphate test kit. Is it any good or should I take it back to PetCo? Also, I just bought PhosGuard and put it in my HOB filter in my sump to remove any phosphate. I placed about 1/3 cup of it in "The Bag" by Seachem. How long should I leave it in there before it is...

First off, I'm not sure they are sick. So i bought these frags when I got some new LED lighting for my 10g nano. They haven't grown at all and even got overrun by brown algae recently. The tubbs blue zoa hasn't really opened up in a few weeks like it did when I first bought it. Yesterday I...

Will firefish pair with a shrimp? If so what kind of shrimp?

Thee is a sale on saltwater fish.com and so I thought I would order some single head frags to grow. Can you please tell me if this list is ok in a 20g long setup? Currently have: Green Hairy Mushroom Tubs Blue Zoa Planning on ordering: Frogspawn or Torch Coral (it's either/or) so advice as to...

I have a cheap HOB filter I was going to use to run carbon and phosphate remover when needed. Should I do that or could I put the media in the air trap section of my sump since the water flows through there? Also it's been a while since I've cycled a tank but how long is the nitrite spike...

Here is the aquascape for my 20g...i have some more rock if people have suggestions

So I have a 20g Long with 10g Sump/Refugium. I'm still waiting to get the refugium part setup (im going to move sand/live rock from a 10g nano once I move inhabitants over) I'm running 165W Full Spectrum Grow Light (for future corals and it is place about 14' above tank. I have 2 Hydor...

So I have a tubs blue zoa that has been over run with brown algae. I'm in the process of moving things from my 10g nano into a 20g long. How do I save my zoas? Is there a way I can kill the algae and not the coral?

I am currently setting up a 20g long. It will have a 10g sump/refugium. I have a green hairy mushroom and some tubbs blue zoa in a 10g that I will move over. What kind of fish stocking combos are there? I would like bright colors. I would really like a green mandarin but thats way down the...
