    Base Rock?? And Cycling??

    Ya. I usualy changed them at different times but not because I was afraid to loose the bacteria but now I know that is what I have got to do. I hope all my animals make it ok. They seem ok. They are still eating and I just started to introduce a cleaning crew too. My name is Amanda.

    Clowdy Water

    Someone told me that anything we can smell in the air can also get into the tank. Burning a cigaret allows particals into the air and they can settle into the tank.

    Clowdy Water

    I have a problem with cloudy water. I do not have any cc but I found out that smoking clouds the water. We are not smokers but I do let others smoke in my house. I began noticing that after everytime someone was smoking in that room my tank would cloud up. Maybey this could be your problem??

    I couldn't get the glass covers due to the cannister filters so I didn't know that I could get anything. I didn't know the fish would jump out!! I always used to have a freshwater tank and never had a cover and never had a fish jump out. I just figured saltwater fish wouldn't jump out. I guess I...

    water/filter change?

    My filters have carben in them so I just like to replace them but you can most defenetly just wash them off with water if you like they will still block particals from getting back in the tank.
