    Protein Skimmer

    I have a 55 gallon tank with a Coralife Super Skimmer (33000 65G). I recently added fish, water, and cleaned my collection cup. Now the bubble production diffuser is putting a lot of bubbles back in my tank. Any ideas as to why or how to make it stop? Also will it hurt my fish?

    Box Damaged Upon Arrival

    When my box arrived today it was damaged. The Fed Ex man said I could fill out a damage report at Fed Ex. The box was very wet at the bottom and was busted. When I opened the white foam one of the bags had apparently either not been sealed correctly or tore because water was on everything and...

    Originally Posted by sepulatian I have to be honest here. The two tangs, by themselves, would be alright for awhile but not for life. Add those with several other fish and you are asking for trouble in a 55. I am not trying to flame you, but if you want to keep other fish then skip the tangs...

    Coral Banded Shrimp

    I have some snails that stay in my sand only come out when I feed them. Real Pretty ones. Not sure what they are called... but my cleaner hermit crabs try to jump on their backs when they are out... they usually roll 2 or 3 times and the snail slithers away.

    My Tank

    Ok, so I moved the rock around. Like I said before the butterfly died last night. The fire gobby seems a lot happier because it is out swimming a lot now. Before it stayed hidden. When I was moving stuff around there was a lot of debre I guess you would call it. It made my water filthy but...
