my false perc has been looking a little bit lethargic the last couple of days and I've noticed his stomach is a little bloated. Today he is looking much worse a bit pale and is not able to swim straight. He is dying I'm pretty sure. Anyone know what may cause these symptoms? He shows no sign of...

great thanks

I have fire shrimp, peppermint shrimp, and cleaner shrimp and they all live happily together. As a matter of fact the fire shrimp is one of the most docile and shy inhabitants of my tank.

Is it ok to put shells that you find on the beach into your tank or do they need to be cured? Same question goes for a conch shell that we purchased. I just got back from jamaica and my wife and I collected small shells on the beach and bought a couple of larger conch shells to add to our tank...

Jacrmill right now my fish load is very light I have 6 small fish as I have been taking it very slow adding them I haven't needed one but after my last addition I am finally getting more gunk on the top of the water and my nitrates are finally now not always at 0. I do plan on adding a two or...

I'm thinking I would rather just empty the cup then have more plumbing running behind the tank but of course this may change in the future. Is this something that can be changed later by drilling thru it and adding an attachment yourself?

Ok so I think I am going to go with the Remora regular version but I am still not sure which to order. It is available with or without a drain fitting and am not sure what this is for and if I need it or not. :help:

Has anyone tried the Prizm skimmers? It has a surface skimmer and the ability to run bio media as well.

What would people recommend for a hob skimmer for a 60 gallon FOWLR, shallow sand bed, 60-75 lbs of lr, currently have a few shrimp, serpent star, snails, hermit crabs, and some small fish. I am currently running a cannister filter and 2 MJ-1200's. I am hoping to find a HOB skimmer that will...

So you can use a skimmer in place of a canister filter?

I just bought a yellow coris wrasse. The posts I read here say they do well in captivity and good for a peaceful tank and the people at the lfs said they are hardy and a good choice. I just looked online to compare prices of what I just paid and noticed that a couple online retailers have them...

I am having a problem with my carbonate hardness levels. No matter how many water changes I do it still seems to stay about 16 DKh by my tests. Is this level unsafe for fish or would it be ok to add new fish to my tank. I have a foxface and yellow watchman goby in the tank along with my cleanup...

I debated about this for a while before purchasing my tank and decided to go with acrylic simply for the fact that it is next to impossible to break. I have a 2 year old son and a couple of teenagers and the chance of something hitting a glass tank and breaking it may be small but it is still...

calcium level is about 360

I was having a similar issue with a goby. We were trying to decide if we should trade him back in to the lfs or not but he was impossible to catch unless we removed all of our live rock. Our decision was made easier when the panther grouper, that our lfs told us would only try to eat very small...

Yeah just hoping to avoid that so I don't have to go through the hassle and because it's the home to many of my tank inhabitants. In the first picture you can see my fire shrimp poking his head out for the picture. Well that little cave is shared by him, my serpent star, yellow watchman goby...
