So I have moved all livestock, the rest of the rock, and switched out the filters. Everything is looking good, water levels are all good, everything is eating well. My question is my Chocolate chip star was zooming around the tank for the first 48 hours and now he has been in the same spot for...

I plan on keeping the chocolate chip star in my nano tank Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

So it has been a year since I setup my 29g FOWLR tank. I have been into fish fresh and saltwater for 4 years now. Freshwater wasn't challenging enough so I moved into saltwater world. Oh my. Like everyone, I had hard lessons to learn. I also breed mystery snails, Apple, ivory, blue, purple and...

I'm right there with both y'all...hurry up and wait. I still sit in front on the tank and look for any new growth on the rocks...boring Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Tank update...salinity-22, ammonia -0, nitrites-0, ph 7.8, slight smell but just smells like a fish tank to me, nothing rancid. All critters accounted for. Gonna check levels again on Thursday and if they are still the same going to do 10-15% wc. Hopefully power heads are here so I can take...

Thanks for the awesome thread/posts/pics and most of all the advice. I have done soo much research and hope to have my tank look like yours!!! Spectacular! Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Gotcha. I'm not wanting to use chemicals if I don't have to. I can't pass up 15#'s of rock for $20.00 and just have never got someone else's "used" rock but don't want any nasty crap Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

No sweets. Can I use my water from my 55g freshwater tank to treat that rock? Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

It's been in a bucket of water but that's it Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My lfs just messaged me that he just had someone shut down their sw tank. They said that they couldn't afford it anymore and he did ask if there were any problems and of course they said no. So he took their tank, a oc clown (who seems to fine, it only has been 3 days), sand and rock. He...

. Oh geez where to being. I have them in both my 10g and 55g. They love oranges and cucumbers. If you want them to breed put them in a 10g or smaller, keep the temp at 74 or lower, dark, and let the tank get dirty...mine seem to like it that way. Keep the water line down an inch or 2, so they...

Nope got them with some plants I got of course. But I breed mystery snails and for some reason that goldfish doesn't eat those. I have seen him, maybe 3 times, suck up a baby mystery chew on it and spit it out a few times over and over but he leaves then alone. I have about 20 pea size...

Oh would never. He is way happy in my 55g and he took care of my nasty pond snail problem. Thank goodness, those things are nasty. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Thanks! I have an aqua-tech 30-60 and Penguin Bio-wheel 200 on it. My mystery snails do an awesome job on gravel clean up. That goldfish even cleans up the gravel. Now if I can get it to leave my wisteria plants alone we all would be happy Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Hello. I have a goldfish, pleco and 2 very naughty algae eaters. The goldfish came from our local fair and has almost tripled in size over the last 6 weeks. He had taken over my nasty snail problem but has left by mystery snails alone. Twice a week they get a cucumber and it's gone within 12...
