    LR from LFS

    Yes you can add LFS rock to your tank. What you do is smell the rock. If it smells bad then don't buy the piece. I would also recommend not putting more than 3 lbs at a time in your tank from the LFS. It has a tendency to spike up your Nitrates at the least if not any of the other levels...

    red shrooms

    What kind of lighting do you have? Shrooms can thrive in any number of lighting situations. It all just depends on how you acclimate them. If you have more light than fish world or fish pros or aquaescape :) then start then lower in the tank or in a shadier spot. Then work them to where you...

    Tips On Mostly Dead Bubble/How To Bring Back To Life?

    I kinda figured. It's mouth is responding to food in the water. I'm attempting to feed it before i place it in the tank. So that is a good sign. There are a few bubbles left on its skeleton. How do i feed it though if it can't grab anything? My brain i nursed back had tentacles at least...

    2 nurses and a leopard

    A 75 gallon is the best they could do for almost 6 feet of fish? Thats not taking into account the sheer volume of the sharks. Geez.... Hope they go to a good home quick.... Or i hate to say it die on them and they don't do that again....

    Tips On Mostly Dead Bubble/How To Bring Back To Life?

    Well bought a $5 dollar mostly dead bubble today. Has a yellow/green tint to it. I need some tips on bringing it back to health. I know bubbles don't need super amounts of light and low water flow. Anything else would be helpful. LFS where i bought him questioned my logic but i know better...

    Whats wrong with my tang?

    Just lazy fish sometimes. They tend to do it when first introduced into a new tank. May just be their way of getting used to things. I'm sure at night he will do the same thing as he goes to bed.

    Is there any problem putting...

    I don't know if they are harder to maintain. Its just taht we don't usually provide it it's natural location in the wild and thus probably why they end up dying. Your typical home reef is a more like a reef slope in the wild. This guy likes the seaweed and kelp beds out in the ocean which is...

    Is there any problem putting...

    I don't think so but i would try and rule out the elegance as a coral. They are hard to keep and are not typical reef corals but seaweed bed/lagoonal corals. They need to be placed in the sand.

    Happy Tank?

    8 fish in a 30 is not good. You will notice in a couple more months. Especially once the tang starts growing. I would personally take the tang back unless you are for sure getting a bigger tank. I would also try and find the mandarin a home. You will notice a decline in health a couple of...

    Bubble Alge

    Geez 6 tanks? Puffy? Not small tanks either :) She is right. Bubble algae can usually be pulled off with a good twist. But my guess is you have crap loads since you are asking about it.....

    How much filtration is enough?

    Well. I'd say leave it if for only the water flow. You could take the filter pad out of the 280. Aside from the power consumption which im sure is minimal the pads are the only other thing you ahve to pay for. You could place on in there from time to time for extra carbon or use the space in...
