Bump. Anyone? I really need some advice on this one.

Welcome, Read this: https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/390214/snakes-tips-and-tricks-for-new-hobbyists Also, find a good fish store and take them a water sample and have it tested. Good Luck!

What saltwater tanks will ruin is your budget so be prepared to spend both a lot of time and money or don't bother (no offense but it's true). I vastly underestimated the time, effort, and money required to keep one and a lot of innocent fish died because of it. Granted it's the best hobby ever...

It's for both cycling and then you can use it every couple of week as maintenance. When you add it make sure you leave your lights off for 48 hours like it says, works like a charm. But be warned, stuff smells nasty (it doesn't make your water smell though no worries).

Nothing more exciting than a new tank start-up, good luck! I'm not an expert but the last tank I cycled was by far the fastest and easiest so far and I think a product called Special Blend really helped. I still use it and the tank is doing great. In fact I now use it in all of my tanks. You may...

I have an established 75 g. tank that has had a Yellow Tang and two Yellowtail Damsels that have been together in there for three years. I know there may be an issue if I add another fish so I was thinking perhaps a bottom dwelling fish would be safe. So do you guys think it would be safe to add...

Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it. I actually just added some shrums, they look great and seem to be doing fine. If things go well I think I may go with a green star polyp next, I have a perfect spot for it and I thinks it's pretty cool when it retracts when a crab walks across it and...

My LFS has one and the guy said he'd make a great addition to my CUC. Said the little guy was amazing at cleaning glass and rock. But, I can't really find many posts about them. Anyone have experience with these guys? I'm stroingly considering adding him to my 75 FOWLR CUC. Thanks!

I'd consider donating the damsels, so that leaves me with the Yellow Tang, Clown, and 2 Cardinals. Do you think I could throw a Flame Angel into that mix? Or any other suggestions?

Wow you guys are tough! pH 8.1 Temp ~80 SG 1.024 Amm/Trite 0 Trate 3 calc 420 alk 9 My lighting is a Coralife Lunar Aqualight CF w/ 2 x 65w flor. 2 x 65w Actinics and 4 LED Moonlights.

I just went through this with my 75, had to do it twice because the first time it still leaked. The only way to be sure it is sealed correctly is to scrape ALL the old silicone off using as many razor blades as it takes, get it all off. Then clean the glass with rubbing alcohol, making sure you...

I have a well established 75 gal FOWLR tank, it has 6 coral safe fish and a CUC. I want to start adding a few easy to keep but still cool looking corals. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW water parameters are excellent.

Yup, I've had the same 6 fish in my 75 for over three years, I've just recently decided to add some new ones. I'll take a good picture of it. I bought a boat and couldn't afford both hobbies, so I stopped adding fish. Now the boat is gone and I'm trying not to make any mistakes. BTW I do a 10%...

My favorite fish ever was my Engineer Goby, got to be about 8" long and lived in a tunnel in the sand under my live rock. Everyone who saw my tank remarked about how cool looking he was, like an eel. Never bothered any other fish either, great fish IMO.

I've had both the yellow tang and the yellow tail damsles for about 3 years, they're like old friends I really can't just get rid of them. Do you really think that's necessary, they seem pretty friendly? If I do keep them both what fish would you suggest? And thanks for everyone's help, it's...

I have an established 75 gallon FOWLR tank, I do intend to eventually introduce some corals but right now I have: CUC 2 x Cardinals 1 x Clown 1 x Yellow Tang 2 x Yellow Tail Blue Damsel I'm strongly considering either a Flame Angel (nice color contrast) or an Engineer Goby. I want to add a...
