    yellow tang problems

    I have this yellow tang who is missing half of his dorsal fin. It does not look like fin rot and otherwise he is perfectly healthy. He has always been like this. Any ideas why it is like this, possibly injury from being caught? I have had him since he was a baby, but I always thought fins...

    PC lighting and Chiller

    Is it neccessary to get a chiller when running PC lighting. I am running a 55 gallon tank with 4 X 65 Bulbs. I haven't taken a temperature of the water yet because there is nothing in there yet. I was just curious to know if I may need one. Thanks, Eric

    PC Lighting

    I recently purchased the Current-USA Dual satellite which includes 4 dual bulbs at 65 watts. Now is this a total of 260 watts per tank or 520 watts per tank? I don't want to fry my shrooms because there is to much light. The bulbs are sunpaq, 2 10,000k and 2 actinic blue. They are the double...

    he seems to be all over the place. I don't think he is stressed out. He actually does sleep in that area. I swear the fish is crazy. My sand bed looks like one big donut.

    Sand Diving Fish

    My Blue Damsel keeps on diving straight down into my sand bed. Once in the sand he shakes his tail and makes everything a mess. What the hell is he doing, besides ruining my tank?

    Please help

    i mean you are kind of right. If you add a couple of powerheads then you will be fine along with a protein skimmer. Personally I like filters. I mean you can get a real cheap one just to do the mechanical filtration. Wet/Dry's are real good filters but you have to be careful of nitrate...

    29g Bioload

    I would say as long as you stay on top of everything you will be fine. I had a 20 gallon long with a precula clown, blue damsel, and a baby yellow tang for over a year and everything was fine. There were also 6 hermitt crabs, 1 brittle star, and a peppermint shrimp. I am however in the...

    Merlin Filters

    Has anyone ever had experience with these filters? I am setting up a 55 gallon reef tank (no hard corals) and I am looking for a filter. I am kind of in a toss between a basic bio wheel penguin and the merlin. Once my tank is stabilized I dont plan on using the bio wheel. I am just looking...
