Good points. The tank in question is around 5 mos old. The water, sand and rock came from an established 20 gallon up around 5-6 mos. before the conversion to the 30. As far as how many fish are added at a time. I think no more than 2 at a time. Or maybe one or two over a week long period...

OK, I have a friend who has not been able to keep any fish alive, except two clarkiis he had for little over a month in his old 20 gallon. He now has a 30 gallon tank with about 30-40 lbs of LR and 5" SB. Again, everything he puts in dies. His water has been tested and the ammonia was, "a...

My pop just brought me a tounge coral out of the blue. I am still acclimating right now and i was curious as to how hard are these corals to keep? What kind of current do they like? I have a 65 watt PC on my 55, is this enough light? also..... ....I have two 550 powerheads in my 55 aquarium...

Since i have switched to my 65 watt PC's i have started to get a purplish color algae on my sand bed. I have been doing water changes with dechlorinated tap water. How do i take care of this problem? Would getting a few chonch's help? Or doing water changes with distilled water work? I read...

What does this type of coral eat? Is it a meat eater? I was thinking of feeding it some brine shrimp. Any Suggestions

I have a 55 that has been up for about 4 mos. I have a 65w pc but my filter is tanking up to much room. Is there another option besides making a sump. My friend has just purchased a canister filter of some sort, will that work? I havent changed the filters in my skilter 400. When i put in new...

I dont have a tester to test anything other than salinity at this point. My tank has been up for around 3 mos. and all other inhabitants seem to do fine. I have an old heater that has been giving me trouble. I have a hard time stabilizing the temp. It has dropped as low as 70 and fluctuates...

I have only had this guy for about a month but he is already starting to lose his feathers. His feathers seem to not be as full and i dont see him quite as much. I have a lmb, orange spotted goby and two percs so i dont think anything is picking at it. HELP!!!!!

i have a 55 gallon. I have a decent amount of rock and the clarkii has an established territory it seems. Keeping my fingers crossed;)

i have one decent sized Clarkii clown and i just put in two Perculas today. The Clarkii is kind of picking on the percs. Will this be a problem in the future or are these clowns compatible?
