    EMERGENCY!! TANK Leak please help

    If you get a new tank you will not have to cycle it if you keep all the live rock and old sand and put it in the new tank. You can use part of the old water and add some new or use all new water. Keep your old sand wet with saltwater and the rock. For the first few weeks feed lightly and watch...

    Copepods

    If you are doing corals they would benifit from the copapods. Don't think your fish will need them. Amphipods are the large ones that some fish like to eat where copapods are the smaller ones in my understanding. I have both in my tank as I have ordered a plankton culture and a pod culture to...

    Show Tank, different requirements?

    Why don't you do some research and do a seahorse tank....they like tall tanks unlike a lot of fish that may not. How is one suppose to clean the bottom of a tank like that? Anyway, there are some seahorses that are tank bread that will eat frozen mysis as some of the wild caught ones will only...

    Definitely my last order from SWF.com

    There isn't much likely hood that anything you put in could kill the tank overnight. Maybe stray volatge or some kind of contaminant got into the tank. A heater malfunction? Did you use some bad water? Do you have kids that may have dumped something into the tank and not told you? Bug spray, air...

    I will make SWF.com mad at me for this one!

    There is truth to all that you say but I wouldn't want to tell them how to run their business because they give us this nice chat site. I myself only order on line if I can talk to a real person on the phone if there is a question or a problem. Lesley

    OH you have got to be kidding me!

    Maybe you need to be feeding the urchin some frozen krill or something by hand or feeder stick or something. Maybe he is not getting enough to eat?? Lesley

    Compatible with P. imperator?

    If you only want to do a small tank then don't do an Emperor....they need at least a 180 gallon and at least a 90 gallon when less than 6 inches. Lesley

    Help! Melafix overdose

    Double the dose will not hurt them. It is not an antibiotic but an agent with antibacterial properties. If you look at the bottle it says to dose one dose like this daily for a week. You would have been adding the dose equal to what you put in by the second day anyway and daily after that for a...

    any suggestions on getting it out?

    You have too many large fish for a 75 gallon tank. Crampted fish will fight. They need a large territory and a much larger tank than a 75. Groupers get way too big for a small tank, same for th tusk and the dragon wrasse. It really bothers me when people torture fish by putting them into a...

    What would you have done?

    I would have asked him if he had the metal halide lighting for the clam....and if he said what is metal halide lighting? I would talk to this person and tell him the clam would die without it. I will not stand by and let things die, and if the person did not care after telling them that is their...

    Can I add another clown?

    Wait until he gets a lot bigger....maybe a year and then you can find one that is a lot smaller. If these fish are left unpaired for even a few weeks they will turn to female and from what I have read they cannot go back to being a male. They all start out as males as babies. When yours is...
