I have a 20H gallon fish tank. I am switching my lighting fixture from NO flourescent to PC. The fixture is the 96 watt PC from corallife. How long should i run the PC's, I was thinking about 10 hours a day? thanks

In my 20 gallon I have a super aggressive ocellaris clownfish with a yellow watchmen goby. So far the clown killed a firefish, beat up a diadema basslet so bad I had to remove him, it killed a purple reef chromis, and a six line wrasse. The goby isnt bothered only because he actually stands his...

the tank has been set up since late june. It does have a low bio load, maybe 10 lbs of rock, few mushrooms, zoo colony, 6 button polyps, and a small clownfish. I am actually gonna go treat myself (with Christmas money) to a fish and coral colony. Maybe if the bioload goes up a little bit, it...

there is about a half a centimeter of foam at the top of the water level in the skimmer, not in the collection cup. After doing 1/8 turns, same amount of foam, just a little higher up, and not as many bubbles in the tank.

its hanging on the back of my tanks, its a 20 gallon

ok, I have done everything you have said. Im getting about a centimeter of foam, but not in the collection cup. Its below it at the water level in the skimmer. Should I just wait, or what should I do know? thanks

thanks, im going to go try all of that stuff now. Ill post some questions later if I have any. Thanks again

how short should I cut the airtube.

got mine on Christmas, plugged it in, and am not getting anything. I can't get any foam or nothing. I can see a little bit right where the return is. Also it is very noisy. Any suggestions on how to get mine to work.

I'm looking for a very good, and thorough saltwater aquarium book. One that covers everything from fish to corals. The book shouldn't contain much tank set-up information. A little bit is fine, but the book should mostly talk about fish, corals, and other discussions about the tank itself. If...

More hermits would help. When my crushed coral gets a little dirty I just use my gravel vacuum to siphon it out.

what fish would do well with an aggressive occelaris clown? The clown has killed a firefish and beat up a diadema basselet. Right now the clown is alone in my 20 gallon. thanks

I got a new diadema basslet today and put him in the tank. I already have one occlearis clownfish in the tank. But now the two are fighting. The basslet will poke his head out of the rocks and the clownfish will dart after him. it doesnt seem to be getting better. The clownfish swims around the...
