So I had a dream last night that I got home from work and all my fish were dead. The funny thing was that the fish that were dead in my tank were not the fish that I actually own and appeared to be fresh water fish. Thoughts? Anyone ever dream of their fish?

Until one day his kid puts too much overspin on breaking a game of 8 ball and flips the cue ball into the aquarium and busts the tank wall.

This is one of the funniest threads i have seen on here.

I have a 90 gallon tank with a Yellow Tang, Scooter Blemy, 2 Percula Clowns, and a pretty good sized cleaner shrimp. I recently bought a Heniochus and added it to the tank. His name was Rick. Note I stress WAS. He was doing very well for the first few weeks although my tang used to chase him...

Great ideas all. Thanks!

I have had my tank up for about 4 months now and have a scooter blemy, 2 percula clowns, a yellow tang and a cleaner shrimp. i would like to add more live sand to my tank. is there any danger in just dumping it in there? is there a process I should follow? should i quarantine the fish to one...

I did use tap water when I first setup the tank. Perhaps that is why. I have started using RO water with my water changes. Once I filter all the tap water out, I may have better luck. I also leave my light on alot, I will start turning that off. Thanks for the help.

Hi all - I have a 90 gallon salt water tank. Right now, I have about 25 lbs of live rock (I know I need more) and 1 yellow tang, 2 percula clowns, 1 cleaner shrimp, 4 turbo snails, and 1 scooter blemy. The tank cycled for about 2 months before I put fish in and has been up living with live...

Thanks for the help. Any advice on good skimmers? My tank is 90 gallons. I will point the flow tank at the top of the tank to bust up the protein and oils.

I have a 90 gallon tank that i have cycled for 3 weeks with live sand. I (against my bettor judgement now) used tap water to fill the tank. i put 2 percula clowns in the tank and they have been doing well for 4 days. The fish are actively swimming and eating, so I think they are healthy. I have...

i already filled the 90 gallon tank with tap water, so any advice for getting the impurities out of it? it has been cycling in my fluval 405 for almost 5 days now.

what is the best way to test PH? my tank has been running for 6 days now and i am going to add live sand and maybe a few small cheap fish to test the tank. i used chicago lake michigan tap water to fill the tank. is there anything i should put into the water to purify it?

thanks for the info. i will be adding sand and rock this week. there seems to be little water bubbles on the side of my tank. what is that from? is that a big deal? what is the best way to mix the salt in the water to make sure it is the same salinity throughout the tank. thanks.

Looks good man. I am just starting to put up a 90 gallon myself and love tangs. I want to fill it with all tangs.

Thanks for the help. I want to do both fish and reef. Any thoughts on what to start with? How long does my tank have to be up before I can put a star fish in?

Hey all - I am firing up a 90 gallon salt water tank. I used to have a large 2 foot Snakehead in college as well as a fish only salt water tank (that was 6+ years ago though). I recently purchased a 90 gallon tank with lights, stand, skimmer, bio-thing, and a ton of other crap that i don't even...
