no driftwood, it's just as ls, lr, sand, algea, which i understand eats nitrates... the water smells like the ocean it dosn't have a funky nasty smell of anthing so i dunno....

ok, i checked my levels for my 75 gal; they are as follows. ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 5, ph 8.2. salt level 1.026. i have a wet/dry filter a protein skimmer. Liverock is - 60#. i have 2 perculise clown fish, 1 hippo tang (yes i know it's an ich mag), 1 cleanter shrimp, 1 damsel one that i...

not recently. i added clean up crew a few weeks ago, but that shouldn't affect the water now...

alright, i did a 25% water change yesterday. before the change the levels where 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and 20 nitrate. Now, a day after the change it's now .50 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 10 nitrate. i am using RO water. Why is my ammonia level up? should i be worried? any suggestions would be helpful...

My hippo tang is showing signs of ich. I have 2 perc clowns, a damsel, a cleaner shrimp, and some clams, snails and hermits in my tank. I've set up a QT but it hasn't fully cycled, the nitrites are off the chart. I don't know what to do to treat the hippo, right now i have no way to separate the...

i have a blue hippo tang and he/she has white spots on him, what is it and what should i do??

alright, i think my pump is dying. i notice not alot of water is falling into the built in filter send and return for my tank (it's pre-drilled) .... what could that mean?

Alright, who's got the clam. I had 4 cleaner clams last night, now i can only see three and there is no logical explination as to where the fourth has gone... anyone have an idea as to where?? :notsure:

thanks happyvac. two more questions if anyone is up for the challange. one, what is the best way to feed blue hippo tangs, and two, are denitrifiers worth it? if so, where is the best place to get one... reason i ask, i'm having a hard time keeping the nitrate level at zero it's somewhere around...

i have a protein skimmer running, i just hope i got it setup correctly. i have a we/dry system installed on my tank, and yes, it is predrilled. i've read that clowns will typically only host anemones. also, how long should i wait until i start getting coral?

my tank 75g is 2.5 months old. a good amount of purple algea and i have just installed a protein skimmer and a good sized clean up crew. i have 3 fish all doing very well and 2 inverts, a cleaner shrimp and a starfish (veg). what else do i need to do to set up for a coral tank?

I'm going to get some coral for my tank . I know I need lighting, but there is so many choices. My question; is there any recommendations on what to get. Also, what coral would be good for my clown fish to host? Also, also, do i have to "feed" the coral, if so with what?

I bought 2 damsel from *****, and already had a damsel from another lfs. A week later the 2 damsels were dead. I found out that the saltwater fish from ***** had been qt and not for sale only a few days earlier because they had ich. I've been to ***** a few times since then and it seems like...

I've been reading through my books and have a few questions. First off I have 2 percula clownfish, i've done some reading and I'm just curious about whether or not to get an anemone for them. After some reading I feel like it might not be such a great idea because anemones eat other fish and...

Thanks for all your advice. Unfortunitely the LFS that i bought the starfish at has a no returns policy; I wish i had come across these boards sooner. I realize now that i also need to build a clean up crew. I am planning on getting 3 scarlet hermit crabs, 3 emerald crabs, and 10 blueleg...
