I also just realized I put this in the wrong section. I meant to put it in the new guys category! Sorry about that

Do you need to have one in the tank? I have lids that are sealed to keep a snowflake all in really would like to try and not modify them! Would it be ok to just have 2 in the sump together?

Looking for recommendations for a tank heater for a 115 gallon tank would prefer one small enough to fit in the sump with its own temp control. Any advice is much appreciated!

Thank you all for your advice gunna do some shopping around and order a reef octopus hopefully tonight!!!

Is bigger better? Or can you get too big of one for the tank? Looks like the two reef octopus ones I'm looking at either say 90 for medium load or 150

About to purchase a new in sump protein skimmer looking for advice on what brands to purchase! Not wanting big brand name but affordable good skimmers! It's for a 115 galling live rock fish only aquarium!

Sorry yes the tank does have 4 power heads from the main pump and one small extra one. They are pointed in every direction possible so I believe the water flow is ok! And I'm not sure what you mean by media in the filter? The fish don't really let food hit the bottom but the puffer is super...

And the clams are on a half shell the fish store that I bought them from said they would work as the puffer scrapes the meat out. Does that sound correct? Or what else should I feed him possibly from a grocery store? I don't live in a city with any saltwater pet store so I have to order...

Yes that appears to be the only spot. It is a 115 gallon tank. His tankmates are a Picasso trigger, clown, yellow tang, yellow tail damsel, 6 line wrasse, and a small snowflake eel. It is a live rock tank with live sand and fan worms. The tank has a hand on overflow with sump and protein...

There isn't any texture on the spots! They are just white spots of skin. I just had never seen ich before! I have had him for a little over a month. He eats twice a day mostly shrimp with fish v nutrient, also some krill and clams. Water readings are all normal except a slightly high nitrate at...

Hey everyone I just noticed some small white spots appearing on my porcupine puffers back! He seems to be eating and acting the same as always and none of the other fish appear to have anything going on with them please if anybody has any thought i would appreciate it!

Hey that worked thank you! He is by far the most active fish in the tank constantly swimming back and forth! Makes for great entertainment!!

I was trying to post a photo of my Picasso trigger but it says the file size is to large! But he is by far my favorite fish in the tank!!!!

I purchased this tank used with everything already set up and inside it except the trigger puffer clown and the angel! I would like at least another fish or two to be on the tank any recommendations for fish that would be ok with the fish already inside? My original idea were regal tang and that...

The tank is 115 gallons 6 ft wide with plenty of live rock hiding spots. None of the other fish show any aggression towards each other except the damsel will sometimes chase the trigger then the trigger will chase the damsel away then they all swim peacefully together again. Am I too assume now...
