i had my tank for about 2 years now, and i got all my fish near the same time. i have a 40 gal tank with 2 blue tangs, maroon clown, and 1 diamondback goby. i have have a small crab and some snails. about a month ago, my Goby died. his head was basically the only thing left on his body...

i believe i saw that the ideal salt level is around 1.2 - 1.25. currently my meter reads at 1.31. this means that i have to add fresh water to my tank, correct? TIA.

i have 2 bumblebee snails and just added 2 Banded Trochus Snails a few days ago. for some reason, one of the trochus snails attached itself onto the bumblebee snail, and i noticed that the second one did the same on my other bumblebee. now each bumblebee has a trochus snail on its back. are...

i have a few bumblebee snails and had 1 Nassarius Snail. my nass got eaten by one of my crabs and the crab has been living in the nass shell for awhile now. my bumblebees are doing fine though. well, i got 3 cone snails a few months ago and they died within a couple days, so i thought maybe...

well, i had my cleaner shrimp for awhile, but recently i noticed that he is missing one on his hands and his whiskers have been chopped off. i have 2 blue tangs, with a maroon clown, and a coral beauty. i was wondering if the damage could be caused by one of my fish. i also notcied that i...

so i got my first coral at my lfs, a pink toadstool leather mushroom, looks almost like rubber if you look at it closely. anyways, i brought it home at around 5p and accimiliated it for around 25 minutes during and after i was doing my water change. now it is 9p, but it still has not opened up...

well, i wasn't planning to get another fish for awhile, but my dad brought home a coral beauty since he was just 'passing by' the fish store today. i was pretty mad that he was planning to just dump it in there w/o asking me, but he promised he wouldn't do it again. anyhow, right now i have a...

i have a pair of lights that are 55W/10000K each. it just went out yesterday so i went to the fish store and they only hadd one bulb left - so i just bought one. well, before i plugged in the new one i tried turning the old ones on, and it worked - but only for about 2 minutes. then it would...

ok..after searchin a little bit, i found a guy that wholesales APBI tanks. has anyone heard of this brand? he says its just like a nano cube but of course has a weaker light. it has 2 18watt bulbs. he says he can sell me a 27 gal tank for $75. here is a link of the aquarium...

i don't know what went wrong. my mys clown and my clarkii seem to be doing fine but yesterday night my nemo was just chillin on the sand bed for awhile and looked like he had no energy. he would then go to the surface almost n a vertical position, like when the fish get tired, and stay around...

i've been testing my water every week and the results always seem to be close to the IDEAL levels - but i'm not sure how far i can stray off? my fishes seem to be doing fine, but should i consider fixing any of these levels? salt level is good. pH is 7.9 - ideally supposed to be at 8.2, is...

i found these pictures in the members SW area. i was wondering what specific kind of corals. anenomies, or clams these are?? i am planning to get some corals for my tank this weekend and narrowed it down to these. since i am fairly new to the fish world, i would prefer something easy -...

i picked up a fire shrimp at the lfs several days ago and was hoping i would see it clean some fish. unfortunatley, mine just hangs upside down on the bottom of my lr and only comes out for a few seconds if it sees some food floating around. will the fire shrimp become more active as it gets...

well, my sand is getting pretty dirty in my 38 gal tank, so i was planning on getting a sand sifter goby. what i had in mind is getting a Pistol shrimp with a twin spot or diamond goby. and then i wanted to add a cleaner, like a neon goby OR a cleaner shrimp. will any of these not get along...

i was looking for a goby that stays on the sand for my 38 gallon tank. i currently have 2 MYS clownfish and some snails and crabs with LR. any suggestions? can i get 2, or is 1 enough?

i got a pair of maroon yellowstripe clownfish at my lfs but i don't know if they were a TRUE pair. the bigger one, which is supposed to be the female, aggressively attacked the smaller one and bit off 2 big chunks of the left fin! now the male is only using his right fin to swim. what i...

my friends fish all died of ich recently so he is changing back to freshwater and he said he will give me all of his live rock. the thing that i'm worried about is if the disease can be transmitted through the lr? is this possible? and sorry for the stupid question, but what is ich? how do...

i got a pair of maroon yellowstripe clownfish on thursday and i fed them small meals twice a day. the male seems to be eating a lot but i didn't see the female eat ANYTHING. everytime i feed them i sit there to see if the female eats she never ate the food since she got in my tank. anyone...

i got my fish, crabs and snails today. my crabs and snails seem to be doing fine and made their new homes on my live rocks and branches. my fish on the other hand have been acting weird! the male maroon yellowstripe clownfish just stays at the top and goes around in circles. the female just...

well...it has been about 3 weeks since i've been cycling my 38 gal tank with about 15 lbs of live rocks and branches. i brought a water sample to the LFS yesterday and they said it was good to go. i picked out a pair of maroon yellow stripe clownfish and 5 snails and 7 crabs. i am also...

i've been cycling my 40 gal aquarium for close to 2 weeks and added about 20 lbs of live rocks and branches. i think i'm ready to get some fish now. i am planning to get a percula clown and a black and white percula clown. i've been reading that the clown fishes really like having corals...

the cycling for my 40 gal tank will be done pretty soon and i was planning to get some corals, but the lfs guy told me it wouldn't be a good idea since i don't havea chiller. i got these pictures from the galleries in AA and was wondering if you guys could help me identify some of the...
