I had an algae boom in my tank, red and green, i want to know what has caused this and what is the best way to get rid of it. I have turbo snails, crabs, and a tang, they seem to be feeding off a little bit of it, but there is way to much algae for them to clear up. how do i get rid of it??

So what do i do with the fish that still have it. most of it on them has gone away since i treated the water. but i want to be sure it is all gone.

yea i have ich. most of my good fish have already died. I still have a tomato clown, a damsel, and a yellow tang, they look good. actually a lot better than the other day. I treated them with coppersafe. and they seem to be doing well. all my invertabrates are doing fine in my other tank as...

how quickly does coppersafe kill off the ich that is in my water and on my fish.

What is the correct way to do a fw bath. I did one, w/ distilled water, ph was correct, temp was correct, had a small pump in it. I put the fish in for about 30 seconds. He was going nuts so i took him out, he later died. did i do something wrong or what?? any help would be greatly...

I just want to know the proper way to conduct a freshwater bath on fish. I have a sick one that may not make it. Do you use complete freshwater or water with a little bit of salinity. Also what temp should I do it in, and how long should I keep the fish in there. Any info will be greatly...

How do you recommend adding salt water to my tank. It is only low about .002. I have 3 damsels helping cycle my tank and I think it would be too stressful if i just added the salt mixture. Should I premix or just add it. And how much salt should i add. it is a 55 gallon tank w/ 60lbs of...

Hey just a good note. If you are just beginning your saltwater aquarium I highly suggest you get the ARAG-ALIVE crushed coral. It already has live bacteria in it and it speeds up your cycling process. I have had my tank for 3 days and I successfully have 2 live rocks 3 damsels and an anemone...

I too disbelieve my hdrometer sometimes. But I have worked with a couple and they all seem to vary. There are also many variables that affect the actual reading. I read in a book that what the hydrometer and what the actual salinity is is off by a considerable amount, almost .008 in some...
