There is really no way to answer that, How long did you keep your DT fish free. If you kept your DT totally fish free for at the very least 4 weeks you may be ok. But it is better to keep it fish free for closer to 6 weeks.

I would get everything out of the tank, and into buckets asap. It presure on the one corner could cause the tank to burst. The problem being you don't know how long you have, But right now you just have to replace the stand. If the tank burst your in big trouble. Especially with your...

Well that would depend on what the hieght of the tank is, If the tank is 72x24x24=180gallons 72x24x30=around a 220gallon, This is a guess. The 72in long x 24inch front to back come in several different depths. 18,22,24.30, and then there are you custom tanks sizes. As far as worth, a used...

My instant ocean water, test out perfect. I don't have to add anything. IO is one of the better salts. I didn't care for oceanic, it raised my phosphates.

You need to get the glass tops off. Glass tops are for freshwater tanks. The glass blocks some of the light spectrum that the corals need. It also prevents the tank from "breathing" That is the evaporation process. As the tank evaporates, it take the gases and some of the heat out of the...

Could be possible, A guy in our club lost his foxface to his anemone. And this fox face was pretty big, at least 6inches. He caught it when it was too late. The anemone had the fish 3/4 of the way down. Just the tail was sticking out. So it is possible. With that said, I can't tell you...

What type of light is it? I had posted step by step cleaning info for cleaning a corallife pc. If you can find that, it may help you.

Also give the rocks a good shackin, to get the stuff inside that has died off.

Well a few things come to mind. How old is the tank? If the tank is fairly new, maybe there isn't enough on the rocks and sand for it to eat. So it is heading for the filter, because there is probly more for it to eat there. Have you read up on these at all. These are highly toxic and when...

glad to hear your feather is doing better. It was probly just stressed, lack of food. But sounds like he is well on the road to recovery. Now you can concentrate on you and your baby.

It is in an angles nature to pick at corals. That is why they always say, "Reef Safe - add with caution". If she has developed a taste for corals. Then it is too late for her. She will alway like a little sampling of the good stuff. Even if you try to keep her well feed, she will still...

how long has the tank been set up? Do you have a sump? Personnally I say no. With what you have. There may not, most likely not,be enough food for them. Most of the fish you have in there are graizers. They go around the rock and nibble all day. And in the nibbleing they will eat alot of...

I would say do a water change, get the phosban running just in case it is a phosphate problem, and let your tank do the rest.

The pro and cons of Acrylic and Glass. Glass tanks have been around for a long time. But the only pro is a Glass tank doesn't scratch as easily as acrylic. And glass is cheaper than acrylic. The bad part about glass is, if and when they do scratch, it is permanant. There is nothing you can do...

Stay away from chemicals as much as you can. If it is just new tank sydrome. Just give it time to pass. Do your water changes and check the flow of your powerheads to make sure there are no dead spots. If it is from the tap water. You may have a high level of phosphates. I would run some...

this is the first time I have ever heard of anyone suggesting cycleing with a trigger. I've heard damsels, and once or twice clowns, But never triggers. Look for a new safe home for the fish. I wouldn't even take them back to the store. He would just sell them again to someone new to cycle...

The kid got out of the hospital last weekend. He is doing fine. up everyones butt as always :hilarious But I guess we miss him when he not there. His breathing is for the most part better. He said sometimes he feels like he is haveing like an asma attack. And his mom has to take him to...

Check to see if there is a local saltwater club in your area, See if someone that has a tank set up and going, or even a QT. See if someone local would take the fish and hold them for you until you are ready for them. But one way or another get them out. Do a google search, Just use the name...

Originally Posted by astross89 We would like some live rock, but we would like to have more fish than rock. Also, do the powerheads mount inside the tank and is that different than the return pump in the sump? Is a wet/dry filter the same as the sump tank? You would be surprised at how much a...
