Please Help!!!!

What color is the cloud? if it is a white haze look it could be a bateria build up. Do a search for this stuff called algone. They have a big web sight. This will help. It will also help with any alge problems, or possible algae problems. Also I agree with the carbon. Give it a try and a...

I haven't tries a poly filter but I have this filter pad in there that is supposed to catch the smallest of particals but the more it catches the faster the stuff comes back. I also tried the two big water change idea. The first thing I did to try to fix the problem. I have a 75gal. tank and I...

I had a brown algea outbreak but I got rid of it with messing with my lighting. Shortly after the brown algea was gone I got this "dust" looking stuff floating in the water. I do not have a bio wheel but I have what I guess you could call a bio mesh the water goes through that grows the good...

Ok I am so fed up with this stuff!!!!! It is worse now. My skimmer is working and I put the algone in there, and activated carbon in the filters and also phos ban to take care of the phosphates. I have done so many water changes that I have had to have changed 100% of the water in a month and a...

Oh and it keeps them away from filters till they are big enough.

I know a lady who does nothing but breed sea horse. She keeps a guppy breeder divider/tank in the main tank. When the male is about to give birth she scoops him up in there and he gives birth and she releases him leaving the babies in the guppy breeder. This way she does not need a second tank...

I am not so sure about wet/dry filters. I do not have one so I couldn't give you any help there. Sorry!!

What is blowing out the particals the filter or skimmer?

When I first set mine up a month or two after I put fish in it, it began to cloud up white. Like someone blew smoke in the water. I cleared up with some carbon treatments or I am having a problem now with brown cloudy water and someone on here told me to buy this stuff called algone. It seems to...

I thought that was a little much. I got it though because all the other fish stores I went to had none!! So I bought the ***** one. They only had 2 in stock. So I just got what I could get. My husband is tired of looking at my turd tank as he calls it. I got the skimmer figured out though and it...

How old is your tank?

Ok. I figured out my skimmer problem. It is pulling out some serious junk now. Smells awful!!!! I hatched ducks and they stayed in the house till they were big enough to handle the weather. I would rather smell the ducks than the stuff I dumped out of that collection cup!!! I also ordered some...

I will try it out. I am so fed up right now. This happened to me and I wasn't even gone. man I am fed up with this cr*p. But about the skimmer. I paid $150 for that thing and if it isn't working I am taking it back. Is it suposed to fill up with water in the colection tank or just foam? Thanks...

I have tries the carbon and changing pads once a week. The tank is more clear in the morning when the lights first come on and then looks like someone crapped in the water by afternoon. And it is not watery junk that the colection thing filled up with it just filled up with water instantly. What...

Ok. I looked everywhere and the only skimmer I found around here was a red sea prizim skimmer. I have had it running for about 2 days now and it hasn't collected a darn thing. Also the colection thing at the top filled with water. Is it supposed to do that? I thought only the foam collected up...

I have a queen conch in my 25 but if it gets to big I can put him in my 75. I read you can have one for every 20gal. People say they get huge but I have had mine for about 6-7mo and i have not noticed alot of growth. i think you may have awhile before you have to worry about them getting big.

THank you for that explination. It makes alot more sence now. I told my husband that I needed to try and get a skimmer and he said we may be able to get one this weekend. I do see a frothy build up sometimes behind the filters where the water pours back in. I have an angle fish and I feed the...

I would not keep seahorse with corals due to the sensitivity of the seahorse. Just for me to keep them in a tank by themselves and some hermit crabs has turned out to be harder than most expect. Corals have stinging cells and not enough to usualy kill a fish but when a seahorse latches on to it...

I will definitly try to get the skimmer. The filters don't look all that bad. Almost like they arn't getting that much. I change them every 2 weeks and I run carbon in them. I feed everyother day frozen mysis and frozen alge cube things. (Boy arn't I good with words lol) Never any left behind. I...
