I was in at my Local Fish Store today and they guy that helps me knows a whole bunch about reef tanks. However i told him that my plan was to eventually add a powder blue, or an achilles tang to my tank. Most likely the last fish to add. But he started telling me that powders blues are one of...

Hey all, I was just in at my local fish store and the guy gave me an earful on those glass anemone things, Aipistas?? Apparently, they are NOT GOOD to have in your tank and i have 2 pieces of rock that are just absolutely covered with them. They started spreading all over the tank and some...

I've had my 90 gal up and running for 2 and a half months. I added 2 true perculas about a week ago, while the nitrogen bubbles were still being produced immensely. This millions of N2 bubbles in my sand that are constantly rising to the surface, literally, constantly! will they affect any of...

I just purchased 2 true percula clowns last friday and they seem to be doing great. I figure i would leave them in for another week or so and then add one or two anemones, which is the next bio-load to add on my list. Water parameters are great, nitrates are around 5 or 10 ppm but thats...

My tank has just finished cycling but the algae growth on the walls is very much. I have 60 turbo snails but about 40-50 of them stay on the rocks, rather than the glass. Its a brown algae that grows on the sand and glass. Yesterday i scrubbed the walls down pretty good and then did a 5%...
