I bought a bottle to see if it helps with the unmanageable levels of nitrates in my tank. Anyone used it before? Any results?

And any comments on the the nitrate reducer? Has anyone used it?

Just bought an all in one test kit from ---- made by a company named API It's the same kit my LFS uses. So, now I have a question about fish nutrition, I have been feeding my fish brine, live and frozen since I started my tank. I now realize that is not the best idea. Looking above at the fish...

Correct me if i'm wrong but in the wild how does a say clownfish eat octopuss? I'm not trying to be sarcastic or anything, I'm just wondering.

I have a 55 gallon tank with a Magnum 350 Canister filter with reef carbon. I have two 58 watt T-5 bulbs, one is a 10,000K bulb and the other is an Actinic. I have a really good protein skimmer and one powerjet. I have a 3.5 inch sand bed and over 90 pounds of live rock. I currently have: -Red...

I am not a beginner but I don;t understand some of the water parameter issues involved with having a saltwater aquarium. I have a 55 gallon tank with a Magnum 350 Canister filter with reef carbon. I have two 58 watt T-5 bulbs, one is a 10,000K bulb and the other is an Actinic. I have a really...

i'm a born natural when it comes to aquascaping once my BTA moved to the back of my tank and stayed there for a while and i got worried so i went to retrieve him and had to move a good 50 pounds of rock in the way

I know where he "sleeps" at night so i might put that bottle filled with krill near his territory. I have tried this a while back to get rid of a monster bristle worm on steroids that only came out at night and in the morning all of my hermit crabs and one emerald crab were in it so I'm not...

Too many corals attached to the base rocks. I'd have to the rocks out as well in that case.

When I first added a Maroon Clown, the 3 stripe damsel repeatedly attacked him and by the end of the day the clown's fins were all shredded. I bought him and anemone and the attacks stopped. I eventually took the anemone out because he moved around and stung my corals. But even so, the clown had...

I bought a pink cauliflower coral at the LFS a few hours ago and he was completely erect there but now that I put him in my tank, he's bent over. I was told that it needs high water flow so I put him where my Magnum filter outlet would blow a good flow against him. Pic attached.

Well he died so dunno if that was spawning or what...
