Hi, Looking for reef safe ocellaris compatible fish not known as jumpers. 30g open top reef with sand bottom (24x18x18"). Still got plenty of room for corals so don't want coral choice to be limited. My research suggests these as options based on: tank size, live rock with plenty of hidey...

I've found three of these so far, after the lights go out, but can be seen by house lights easily. Appear to come out of tiny holes in rock and one was at least 4" of skinny stretchy worm before the double headed flat worm looking portion around an inch or so tip to tip on the T-section head...

Hi, my (first marine) tank with LR has been cycling for about 2 1/2 weeks with good flow (about 30 times) with seemingly no still spots. I rescaped about 10 days ago. I have this 'growing' on a few rocks. is it algae? a problem at this point? I am not running lights, no direct sunlight but a...

hi all, new to marine, too many high tech FW to remember. I'm cycling live rock for a 64ltr (16-17USgal) 40cm (15.5") cube tank. I'm going with the following: •8kg live rock; •will add about 10kg aragonite for extra bio once filtered; •2000lph (525USgal) wave maker; •heating at 25-26C (78F)...

Hi, is anyone out there aware of what this is in the pics? They're in a newly set up 7g/28ltr shrimp tank, lightly planted at the moment with mopani wood and silica substrate. 5 RCS plus around 20-40 babies as of last night from two of them. Tank's been stocked for about a week and seeded with...

Has anyone else noticed this? It seems my SAEs fade their stripes when the lights go off. At first I just thought it was the angle/reflection etc. When I turn my lights on the 2ft with them in (2x 6500k LED lamp globes), their stripes are all but gone! Only a feint hint of them. Within 2-4...

I couldn't find any reference to this on AA or otherwise, but does anyone have any experience with larger kuhli's eating pond or smaller snails? My not so local LFS where I got them suggested they would slowly. I'm not after them as a means of cleaning up, but like the idea of giving them a go...

hi all, I just purchased a 2nd hand 6.5g/25ltr square tank with an under gravel filter. I'm planning on planting it out with either thick gravel or most likely gravel in terra cotta pots. does anyone have any experience with shrimp (ghost/glass in particular) and under gravel filters? is it...

Hi planted tank people in Australia! Does anyone know where I may be able to purchase some glutaraldehyde for the tank? I've tried the usual suspects bunnings, masters, eBay...but to no avail. I'm near enough to Melbourne, but anywhere would be fine - thanks in advance... Sent from my iPhone...

Hi all, I've started a DIY external canister filter but not sure of the required litre per hour requirements per litre/gallon. Does anyone know of a formula or table? I have a 4 foot x 18 x 18 - 65 US gal (250 ltr, 55 UK gal). I'm currently using a canister rated for up to 300 ltr (80 US...

Hi all, does anyone know what might be wrong with my female guppy? She is pregnant, but I think she's got a few days yet. She started hanging out in corners with 'sad' fins yesterday. I isolated her in the fry net thinking she was about to give birth until I researched it a bit and took her out...

Has anyone kept angels and guppies together? I have 4'x18"x18" planted tank (not very dense yet - having issues). In it are: 2 juvenile angels (maybe 2 males?) 2 juvenile male dwarf gouramis 2 bristlenose (m&f) 4 cory (2 bronze 2 peppered) 4 neon tetra 7 zebra danios. The reason I'm asking is I...

I have a 4' newly planted tank with 10 serpaes, 4 corys, 2 bristlenose & 2 angels. ph6.8 nitrite 0 nitrate 0-5 ammonia 0 temp 24-26C. I put in 2 dwarf gouramis and couldn't stand the carnage. After 4 hours I had to transfer them. I am lucky I have another smaller 2' tank. Swapped them over...
