    Frickin' Sea Lice???!!!

    I found lots of these crawling/swimming around in my tank. Does anyone know what they are? They were too small to take a good photo of so here is an illustration. Sorry for my poor art skills. https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/data/a/a3/a3cef47e_vbattach172314.jpg

    Fish Suicide Rate

    So, how many of your fish killed themselves (accidentally or intentionally).

    Yay or Nay on this.....

    I am thinking about adding a copperband butterfly fish in my tank however, I have a yellow tang already. I understand that if you add a fish that looks similar in shape with another fish they will fight. Has anyone done this? Thanks

    Calling all Laptop Owners! (Opinions Needed)

    Being an IT professional and enthusiast, I would say Lenovo Thinkpad all the way. Sure, you'll need to sell a kidney or two to afford one but they are definatly worth it. Shock resistant hard drive, drainage system, light weight.... Just a few of its many great features, It's pretty much the...

I've had high nitrate readings for about a week now and suspect that it is my power filter (pinguin 350). I have a 55 gallon tank with 45 lbs. of live rock and 5 fish. Would...
