That's what I was worried about. Will those rocks forever cause problems or now that they've been in my tank for a bit now the bleach would wash out?

What could be on the rock that could kill all the fish that bleach would not have killed? I checked the water levels a couple days before the first fish died and everything was fine. I didn't notice one fish had died for a couple days so there was a little bit of an ammonia spike, but I was...

Nothing is alive in my tank at this point so whether the rocks remain in there right now or not wouldn't matter much. I'm wondering what I need to do before adding more fish. Are those rocks now going to kill any fish I ever put in there or will a water change be sufficient?

I have a 30 gallon FOWLR tank. Recently my son found some large lava rock he wanted to add to the tank. He decided it would be a good idea to soak them in bleach over night (when talking (once i cooled off) with him later he said he thought if he just washed them off a whole bunch of times all...

Thank you that helps a lot and the article really helped as I think bumblebee snails look cool and would have bought a couple of those so it's nice to know they can be trouble

Ok thank you. I really like crabs, but not enough to risk my fish. I'll probably try that out then. What else do you have in your CUC other than scarlet reef hermits? I have a 30 g tank, don't have any CUC in there now as it is a new tank so there isn't much to clean up but for future purposes...

Ok thank you. Emerald and strawberry crabs are fine. Would I be ok with crabs any bigger say an arrow crab?

My 30 g tank finished cycling a couple of weeks ago and I have began to slowly add fish. Right now there is 2 clownfish and a peppermint shrimp. The other fish I would like to add are yellow watchman goby with a pistol shrimp, a royal gramma, and a sixline wrasse. These will be fine right? Also...

If I started from scratch what would you recommend for lighting for a 30 g tank in which I could have anenome's and SPS? Keeping in mind I am trying to spend as little money as possible so the cheaper the better

The light fixture I currently have is not an LED. I was looking into LED because of the price saved on utility bills and the guy I bought the tank from wasn't sure if the fixture still worked. I was just going to go with a cheap light and no corals or anything, but the more I've looked at coral...

Is it the same wattage for flourescent lights? I ask because I went to my LFS to see how much the lights were there and to talk to them. My tank came with a hood light for flourescent, but I was looking at LED to save money on power. While talking to them they showed me their lights, they were...

Ok thank you I appreciate the help I don't want to spend all this money only to have my fish die due to ignorance

Ok that makes sense thanks. I'm definitely not going to just try it out without research and kill whatever I'm trying out and it's too expensive to do that. So for a 30 g tank how many watts would I need?

When I bought the tank it came with a light fixture, but the guy wasn't sure if it would work, so maybe I just need to take it in and see if it does. What type of light do you recommend that won't shoot my electric bill through the roof? I just want to be as prepared as possible so I don't walk...

Thanks, I was hoping it would be enough, but wasn't sure. How much more would I need in order for it to be enough?

I have a 30 gallon tank would this be enough lighting to add coral, anenome's, etc? 1.Number of lights: 1 bars 2.Number of LED: 42 3.Colour of LED: blue 4.Dimensions [length x diameter]: about 36.5 x 2cm 5.LED diameter: about 5mm 6.Cable Length:about 110cm 7.Attachment: suction pads 8.Power...

I have about 20 lbs of live rock in the tank and 40 lbs of live sand. After filling it I left a shrimp in the water for a few days until the ammonia levels rose, then took it out. Now I am checking the water every few days for the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels to drop. Is there any steps...

Ok thank you. That is good to know. My tank is still cycling so I do not have any fish or anything at the moment. I am new to the aquarium world and just saw reef packages and clean up crew info all over the place as I did research and assumed it was something I would need

Really? This is the first i've heard of not even using them. Don't you have to clean your tank a lot more often without one though?

I have a 30 g tank and was wondering how many hermit crabs, snails, and other parts of the CUC would I need for a tank that size? It is not a coral tank, around 20 lbs or LR and 40 lbs of live sand
