I obviously did this completely wrong and I now see that. From now on I will add the water every 20 minutes like you said. I was worried that the fish would die in the bag if left that long. Also, I have never acclimated any of my other fish like that and have not had any problem. Thanks...

I don't have the ability to do the drip method so I floated the bag and added some of my water to the water in the bag and brought it to temperature and put him in the tank.

I purchased a mandarin yesterday and brought him home, acclimated him, and put him in the tank. He immediately went to the back of the tank behind the live rock. 5 hours later I noticed him acting strangely as if he was throwing himself against the back of the tank and flipping himself over...

I just got off the phone with Oceanic and talked with one of their tech reps and he said that there is a problem with the filter (DUH FIX THE PROBLEM) and that you can put the filter on top of the bio balls or you can have it loose in the far right well. As long as water is running through it...

Had less than one year. Excellent condition, just decided to upgrade to larger tank. $100.00 with free shipping anywhere in U.S. via UPS. If interested please email me at kelschka@msn.com.

I am having a problem with the well on the far left staying full. How important is it for that water to stay above the minimum level? Also this morning it was all the way to the top of the well (way above the maximum level). Is that bad? I noticed that the filter cartridge seems to affect...

Question about the biocube. I have a new 29 gallon biocube and when I put the filter cartridge in the slots designed for it, the water flow decreases to the point that the water level goes below the minimum marking on the side. If I pull the cartridge out of the slots and just lay it loose in...

Thanks again. Yes, the 2 liter is too big. I was planning on using one of two of the small single serving water bottles and freezing them and putting them in the tank. After today the heat wave is supposed to break so hopefully I won't have any more problems. I did not open the lid mainly...

Thanks. I cleaned out the filter last night, but will clean it again if it isn't cleared up by this weekend.

That is a good idea. I could definitely do that and this way the ice won't melt so quickly as it is with the ice in the Ziploc. Didn't realize it could be an algae bloom. That is possible. Do you think the water will clear up on its own once I get the temps down? I did a water change last...

Thanks for posting. There are windows, but the shades are pulled and the A/C is running right next to the tank. I had been putting the lights on during the day and off at night, but now the lights are off and have been since last night as I am trying to get the temperature down. This of...

I know I am going to regret posting this, but here goes. I have a 12 gallon Nano that I have had for 6 months now. I have a small coral reef and I have 2 clown fish. The tank has been doing great. The fish are healthy and happy and the levels have been fine. I am using ozonated water and...

Sound like you have an Aqua POd or a JBJ Nano Cube. Yes, I have the JBJ Nano Cube and I knew about the cracking problems and purchased one of the ones they say the problem is fixed in. The anemones that I have are doing great and are getting bigger so the lights must be doing their job. I...

Thanks for the positive reinforcement. It gets tough losing fish and being told that I am doing everything wrong when I am trying so hard. I will keep my eye on the clowns and if I see fighting I will have to separate them. What clowns would get along with the maroon clown? I hear that you...

Okay, here are the specs on my tank. I had to go to the webpage and get them: Built-In 3 Stage Filtration Newly redesigned filtration system allows for better surface skimming and more room in the rear for larger pumps for DIY customers. The filtration compartment is hedden in the rear and...

I can't answer this question intelligently as I purchased the entire 12 gallon (I originally said 10, but it is 12) set up as it came. It has three lights. One has a fan, the one in the middle, and the light on the right that only goes on at night. As far as my LFS, I trust him as I hardly...

What is rodi water? I don't know what the rodi stands for? No, there is no sun coming in at all and there already is a heater in the tank. There is alot of live rock in that tank, but I cannot tell you how many pounds. I purchased the entire set up from a very reputable salt water aquarium...

HOw old is this tank? Tank is a few months old. Did you put all those inhabitants in together or within a few days? No, the two clown fish were in there for a few weeks doing well as was the emerald crab and the anemones. The hippo tang was just added last Saturday after I discussed it with...

I have a 10 gallon nano tank and I had 3 fish in it until this morning. One baby maroon clown, one small black and white clown and I last Saturday (5 days ago) purchased a very small baby hippo tang. The clowns have been doing VERY well for a few weeks now. I also have a bubble anemone and...
