I've heard 100 opinions as to what filter I should get for my 55 gallon fish-only tank. What do you guys think is the best for a low price? Anything between $50-150. Something with a canister?

Been set up for about 7 months - i'm tryin to figure out what fish to get. I'm having a sand algae problem right now cause it's depth is between 2-4 inches. The green brain's so bright/glowy that it turned out white in the pic Currently have - 2 green mandarin dragonets - takin em back cause...

ha alright, yea i was pretty sure it wouldnt work but he wanted to know for sure. we'll just keep it real with some coral n clowns or somethin. i've always wanted to try a seahorse...

So my roommate's got an 8 gallon biocube that's been set up for about 4 months. He doesn't know anything about saltwater stuff, but his dream is to have just a big anemone in there with a couple clowns. If there were just a couple rocks how big of an anemone could you fit in an 8 gallon? Like a...

wow, you must actually know how to pronounce konicek ha alright i'll have that put on his gravestone

He died today. But yesterday he actually didn't have the white spots anymore. He never stopped eating, didn't look like there was anything wrong with him besides fast breathing. We took him to the fish store and they said he didn't have ich yesterday. We thought he might have been dying still...

I don't even think I can see the spots anymore, but he's still breathing fast....?

Man, now that I see it in a picture, it looks more like ich. uh oh If it is ich should I pull him out of the tank as quick as I can? I was thinking of just replacing him at the fish store because I would be completely new to treating a sick fish (if he is sick), and I wouldn't want to have him die.

Yea, I took a look at that. They're helpful, but I'm a beginner and I'm not sure if this could be ich in the early stages...? As for his color - could he just naturally be light? Because my other clown is darker than him. (The pic makes him just a little darker than he actually is) Also, see how...

I got a Percula Clownfish on May 24. I noticed these things yesterday - 5 Tiny white spots (bubbles or ich?) Swimming in place, hovering right over the sand. Breathing quite heavily for 2 or 3 days. Eyes are not black around the edges. Colors aren't as vibrant as they could be. He was pretty...

thanks - any brand names i should look for?

interesting. yea it doesn't look like he had ich. so maybe it was a bladder thing. he really didn't show any signs of sickness until he stopped eating so much, then a couple days ago when he lost just a little bit of color and started swimming in weird patterns. as for the diet - just more bad...

I got a clownfish a month ago. Over the past day or two he has started to look faded. He has less color, but there are no spots. He is breathing heavily. He keeps swimming/floating upside-down and sideways around the tank. I think he may have just died as I was writing this. I did a 6 gallon...

what do you think about him being in a 29 with 25-30 lbs of live rock

no not as of right now, i'm stuck in limbo trying to decide whether to get a whole bunch of little snails or just a big mexican turbo.....any suggestions???
