I recently installed a sump wet/dry filter and it is placed inside my Wood tank stand. I have noticed that it is collecting moisture. There is a huge hole in the back so its getting air in to it, but I'm afraid its going to ruin my cabinet. Does anyone else experience this? Is there...

I agree, my friend has a 55 gallon tank that he has had a yellow tang in for a long time and it does fine. He has a heniochus butterfly as well and it looks great in the tank with his clowns and tang. They all get along quite well and the fish mixture looks awesome.

Well the sand storm is over, the Amonia is at ZERO, Nitrite is ZERO and Nitrates are staying around 10. From what I've read and from my previous tank, I'm thinking I'm on the right track. The tank has bee set up for going on 3 weeks. Thought the cycle would last longer, guess I just lucked...

I was one of the nieve individuals who didn't have a QT and when my fish got ich...guess what? I realized I had no choice. I had to do a QT without cycling it and the only way I am keeping my fish alive and the amonia level down is daily water changes. I have been changing at least 1/2 of the...

I only used 1 for my 75 and removed once it spiked as well.

I'm working with the sand. I fix it and something is eroding it right back the way it was. I know its either my filter, skimmer or powerhead, just narrow down to determine which one it is

My plan as of right now is to have a Heniochus Butterfly, a Yellow Tang and Hippo Tang. Would like more but unsure what I want....any suggestions? I want to eventually temp coral but that's when I'm ready to fork out some $ and purchase new lights. As for current stock list I have: double HOB...

how high would be way too high for an amonia spike? It went to 1.00 and I done a partial water change and got it to .50. I changed half of the water and that's all it came down. How long am I looking at before I start seeing it decline?

Bought myself a new 75 Gallon Tank for Christmas and thought I would share it along the way. Currently I am cycling the tank, put the live rock in today and its starting to look good. Long way to go, but I think I'll be pleased

I purchased a wet/dry pump from online and recieved it today. When I opened the box, the pump had slid against the wall and broke a piece from the bottom. The seller is making it right with me but I thought I would try to fix and use. Is there some sort of glue that is safe to fix acrylic...

I purchased an Eshopps Sump Wet/Dry from ----. I received it today and a part of the seperating wall in the middle of the box is broken on the bottom. Is there some sort of glue I can use to fix it that would be safe for fish? The guy is making it right with me but I thought if I could just...

I thought about that. I think I will definately do that.

well, got the rock today and it actually looks really well in my opinion, but I could be wrong. I expected it to be dry and/or smell bad but it was wet and seemed nice. Added it to my tank and keeping my fingers crossed.

Thank you kindly...just the info I was looking for.

One more thing...with all of the die off I am expecting from the rock, do you think my sand will be ok with the amonia spike? I plan on doing the frequent water change as recommended above to keep the amonia at .25

How would I know if the rock is salvagable? I emailed the seller and ask how it was shipped and recieved this response: This rock was shipped to industry standards packed in a plasic bag with saltwater wet paper towels, then placed in a styrofoam lined cardboard box. Remember, this rock is...

well, I have live sand in the water already. Does that make a difference? Also the guy I purchased the rock from said it was already cured and I would have very very little die off. I'm actually worried about the rock though. he sent it ups ground and it is taking 7 days to get here. He...

I purchased a Jebo 180 protien skimmer and placed it on my tank 3 days ago. I have adjusted the air intake numerous times and it still isn't foaming into the holding cup at all. Does anyone have any recomendations? It is a tank that is still in its cycle. Does that make a difference?

I have had the fish in the QT for 3 days now and so far, all levels are still great. Amonia and Nitrite are still at zero. I'm keeping a close eye on them though. Thanks for your input.

I have a new 75 gallon tank that I am in the process of setting up. I have decided to use a raw shrimp to start the cycle of my tank. I have not yet placed the live rock in the tank but will do so tomorrow. Do I leave the shrimp in the tank only until the amonia level spikes then take it out...
