I honestly don't know I just know we want corals and an anemone later on down the road. However I'm a little upset my LFS said nothing about RODI when they do have it for sale... If it was necessary I feel they would have told me to buy it. I used $30 of bright well salt and that's all wasted now?

Well it already has tap water with salt in it. The salt was pre mixed. My LFS said nothing about ro/di being important for the reef we are planning. Here are photos of the marks on the walls. I cleaned them with a Brillo pad.

Today I set up a 55 gallon saltwater. This is my first saltwater tank, and there are white streaks along the glass on all four sides on the inside of the tank, what are these and how to get rid of? Also there is a build up for what looks like salt around the top perimeter, what to do for this...

This is my betta after 1 week of super ick cure. Not helping, simply getting worse. Have removed all the gravel, 50% change of water every other day before medicating, salt added, temp at 90, what else can I do? I'm stumped and sad for this guy.

Yes carbon removed.

I had a betta and a pleco contract ICK. Been treating for a week every other day with Super ICK Cure. Doing 50% water changes and adding salt. Temp is at 88. More and more ICK spots are appearing on betta, pleco has died, betta hasn't eaten in a week... what else can I do?

Hello My problem is as follows: I set up a 40 gallon tank for a map turtle. I added a pleco to the tank during the end of the cycle, and the pleco has ich. So I have removed the pleco to a 10g QT tank and treated with API super ich treatment. I tried to raise temp in 40, heater blew. Sitting at...

I have black sand in my aquarium and I have ich in it, I raised the temp to 86 but everything I'm reading says vacuum the substrate. I am new to sand and ich and everytime I touch the and it stirs all around and clouds the water etc. creating a mess, is this just how it is? Any other tips on...

Never had ich before. JUST got my tank filtered and the pleco I added has ich. UGH! what do I do? Should I put him in my quarantine tank? How do I remove the disease from my new tank? How long until I can add new fish?

Perfect. Thanks again

Awesome, thanks, is there one for ammonia ?

I have the saltwater kit and was wondering if it will accurately read my freshwater tank. Here are my readings today, the tank is cycling would these be accurate? According to these, should I do a large water change? Thanks for any advice.

Thanks guys.

Thought about it, heard they're really tender/finicky, true?

I used to have to hide from my parrots to watch them when they were young but trust me they grow out of it. If they could jump on you and beg for food like a dog they would now that they're a year old. Their shyness went away after about a month, now they see me coming from a mile away and dance...

Wanting to put some in my 40 long. How many? What tank mates are good for them? Thanks.

I've got a 40 long cycling right now with a clown pleco only. I was thinking possibly angels or other cichlids, I have only kept blood parrots though so I don't know a lot about others compatibility, anyway, any opinions on how to stock this? How many angels would work best? Thanks guys

I set up a new tank 1 week ago with 2 aquaclear 70s it's a 40 gal tank. So when I added sand it was cloudy and then cleared up two days later, been clear for 3 days ish, and now is going cloudy again... I'm confused and frustrated. Ratings are relatively the same. 0 nitrite 5 nitrate .4 am...

I recently started up a second tank with anubias nana on driftwood and crypts as well as an "el nino fern" baptista, I believe.. I have no problem growing anubias in the past but have had no luck with any ferns and have never grown crypts. I have used bottle ferts in the past but for a large...

I have an established 55g cichlid tank, and am cycling a 40 with the filter media from my 55. Ammonia source is a betta right now, yes I haves tanks set aside for him when the tank is cycled... :) anyhow, I put the filter cartridge right by the intake of my aq 70 since it doesn't fit inside...

I leave 2 t8 lights on my 55 for about 10 hours a day. I only have 2 live plants. I just noticed a lot of brown spot algae all over the rocks substrate. What can I do about this? I have cory cats, blood parrot cichlids, and odessa barbs in the tank.

I have 2 blood parrot cichlids. Their color has Gone from vibrant dark red to almost white very pale orange from last night to tonight. I always leave the light on but did not today...
