I just added 3 Damsels to my tank last night and want to know how long my tank should cycle for? I've been told 2 to 4 weeks but I want to be for sure before I fill my quarantine tank and get it ready for my next fish taht I plan on adding.Any answers on this will help me out a great deal thanks.

I have a 20 gallon long glass tank and have 2 hang on the back filters and 1 canister filter.My water is crystal clear even though I dont have any fish in yet.My only problem is not enough lighting in my tank but the small corals that came as bonuses on some pieces of live rock are doing quite...

The more I look in my tank the more I'm starting to notice all the little creatures in the gravel and crawling on the live rock.I've found two of the creatures in a magazine of mine,they are Harpacticoid copepods,and Gnathopods.What I want to know is what type of role do they play in the reef...

I'm fairly new at the game also and the best thing I can say is research all the animals you want to put in your tank.What kinds of food do they eat and what type of lighting and water current they prefer.Do some studing and make a plan and follow it or disaster will happen.GOOD LUCK on you...

I have a Fluval 204 on my reef tank and I'm extremly happy with the way it helps circulate and filters the water in my tank.I've been told that I have too much filtration on my tank but I've been told that you can't have enough filtration.I'm running on my tank the Fluval and an Aquaclear 200...

If I'm correct the salt in the water will corrode any type of metal and foul your water so I would advise not putting brass in your tank.

Looks like a finger leather to me also.As far as is leaning like that I'm not sure,but do you use any type of invert supplements to hepl it grow.Thats one possibility that I came up with.Good luck and hope for the best don't give up.

Really cool!I like the way you designed your reef and the way it can be seen from multiple rooms. Good luck on the rest of your tank and lookin forward to seeing pics of it when finished.

Try moving them closer to the light that may help the color return.If that dosen't work then I'm not sure what the problem may be.If thats the case take your green polyps to the store you bought it from and have them take a look at it.Good luck and hope for the best

Due to some bad advice that I rec eived on treating my fish for saltwater Ich,they all died within the first 3 days of treating them.Anyways thats a totally different thing.After all of that I did a major water change and haven't bought any fish since.I've noticed many little shrimp looking...

If they look similar to tiny shrimp but clear with a dark stripe down the back I have those in my tank as well and they're reproducing like crazy and thats a good thing.

What I want to know is where can I find the little creatures that live in the substrate(little worms,and other crustaceans).I know about ordering them through the mail but are there any aquarium stores that deal in salt water that would sell them without going from store to store asking.I live...

Unfortunatly due to some poor advice when I put the four fish I did have in a hospitol tank to treat them for Ick it was too late and they all died.I had 2 damsels,1 Royal Gramma, and 1 Coral Beauty Angelfish.Now that I have my display tank with the water quality back up to par all I have left...

It could possibly be Ich if its small white raised spots the size of a grain of salt.One thing about Royal Gramma's is they are sensitive to changing water conditions.Put it into a quarintine tank ASAP if you have one.Good luck.

Have you tried a water change? Try around a 10 to 15 gal water change and then do another one in about 3 to 4 days and continue this for about 2 to 3 weeks.I'm going to do the same thing because I'm having a problem with my Coral Beauty Angelfish.GOOD LUCK :) huntingfishinglover@msn.com

I just purchased a Coral Beauty Angel fish and have had it for almost 48 hours now.I VERY slowly acclimated it to my tank,within minutes it was swimming all around and full of life.When I bought it, it was perfect no blemishes,damaged fins,or cloudy eyes.Yesterday these small white raised spots...

I did some research on the net at this site of course and some others about my algea problem and it was caused by too long of a lighting cycle in my tank.So I went out and bought 3 red legged hermit crabs and 3 Turbo snails and they're going toi towm on my algea.The only concern that I do really...

I'm having the same problem with the brown algea but I think my problem is from running my lights too long but it doesn't disapate like yours dose.I'm still trying to get rid of my problem,I'd gently scrub my rock but I have many tiny soft corals growing on them and don't want to damage them at...

I'm just starting a tank for the second time but its been a while since the first attempt,anyway I've asked the same question and I've been told that mushroom anemones are easy low light corals that will do well but for other soft corals you need very bright light.I have a 20 gallon long tank...
