Im shopping for the quietest protein skimmer out there! I hated the prizm's noise. Im looking at the remora pro, but I heard the bak pak is quieter. Help!?!

Dont Have one. I just got lucky and found them at Zoos one day. The beauty of it is, when they grow up, Zoos buys them back from me!

They dont have any special lighthing requirements, but they like to hide under and behind rocks. Removing them and repeatedly replacing them up front to view them easier just stresses them out. I had one die, and over 24 hours they just deflate and shrivel up.

Wish I had found my first ribbon eel on the floor quick enough... sniff, sniff. be sure to add some extra tape of something to every exit he can use... :(

I have a very healty orange linkia. I have a ton of slimy clear string mucus in my 72 w/a fluval 404. I appeared 3 days after I removed my prism to sell it and upgrade (eventually) The slime appears to be on the linkia mostly (im not sure that this is the source). It has killed a copperband, a...

I have a very healty orange linkia. I have a ton of slimy clear string mucus in my 72 w/a fluval 404. I appeared 3 days after I removed my prism to sell it and upgrade (eventually) The slime appears to be on the linkia mostly. It has killed a copperband, a mandarin, and a burgendy fromia star...

im a big believer in SALLY LIGHTFOOT CRABS. cleans constantly, lives longer than emeralds and hermits, inexpensive...

I do 20 percent every 2 weeks. I just do it each payday so its easy to keep track of. I also change my charcoal with each water change. tap water gave me some problems with algae growth so I invested in an RO unit. If you're keeping your tank for the long haul, its worth 200-300 bucks. I...

I just dug out a 50 gallon tank from the attic and its got a cloudy residue or something staining it. Not grainy or scratchy - smooth. Cant get it off. Has anyone seen glass become cloudy before?

right, I have a niger trigger and hes very gentle and minds his own business, but a clown or undulated would tear the puffer up. Trial and error unfortunately.

Im trying to set up a 50 gallon fresh tank and I dont know much. First, can I use my leftover cc as a fresh substate? Second, everything else!! Is there a cycle wait, what type of filter, etc.

I feed mine liquid phytoplankton directly into their shells from a straw, about 2 strawfulls per 50 gallons of water. This keeps them very healthy but it also stains the inside of my glass with green dots. Brine shrimp are supposed to help (live that is).

I bought a teeny tiny blue hippo and a teeny tiny scopus tang. Theyve been nibbling at algae and brine shrimp, but is there anything I should be doing for newborns?

Thats not half as bad as 30 gallons of water INSIDE Your house! Look at it that way. I just had 2 $30 psuedos get eaten by my ribbon eel. Just gotta suck it up and smile!

It will do equally well either way, on the rocks or in the sand.

Add a couple of drops of formaldehyde as well if your LFS has it. its only a couple of bucks. 10 minute dips every other day for 2 weeks helped my copperband.

I know that they eat copepods, and you need live rock, but dont underestimate the effectiveness of LIVE BRINE SHRIMP. Mine eats them like candy.

I dipped my copperband in fresh water for 10 minutes every other day for about 10 days and with some RO water changes, he recovered in 2 weeks. Good luck! PS add some formaldehyde to the fresh water (2 drops per gallon) Its like $1 at your lFS

Ive been trying to get an orange linkia adjusted to his new home. I acclimated him 4 hours on a slow drip. Hes in a 70 gallon tank with RO water and 5 fish. At first he swelled up like a balloon, then shrivelled up, and after 3 days, he seems to be healthy now. What are the light brown spots...

I think freshwater snails are great to watch, but saltwater ones are just boring, ugly, and a pain to turn upright every time they fall over. Fresh are great though! Ive got 1 fish and 5 snails in my 10 gallon fresh tank!
