    Can't get dead fish out of tank

    One of my clowns recently died. I tested water and ammonia and nitrites are 0, nitrates 20, ph 8.3, and salinity 1.028. I know the salinity is a little high, but can this kill a fish? Also, the dead clown is behind a rock and I can't get it out with out taking the whole tank apart. There is no...

    Torch with broken skeleton

    I got a small torch frag, but the skeleton is broken. What are the chances of it being ok and living. It looks like the base is broken into 3 small pieces. I will try to take a picture later. Thanks.

    Should I buy frags or grown?

    I have the stock lights that came with the biocube. Are there any other water parameters that I should monitor if I get frag? Also, will I need any suplements for them to grow? Thanks for all the help.

    Should I buy frags or grown?

    I have a biocube 29 with 30 punds live rock, 20 pounds live sand. I have 8 snails, 5 hermits and 2 clowns. Last time I got my water tested everything was 0 except nitrates were around 40. Ph was 8.2 and salinity was 1.026. My temp stays right around 80. This was before fish were added. They were...

    Should I buy frags or grown?

    I'm about to add my first coral to my tank and was wandering if I should buy a frag or a grown coral. The frags are about half the price of the grown. How long do frags take to grow and is there anything special that has to be done with frags compared to grown coral? Thanks.

    Feeding clowns

    The food I got for my clowns sinks as soon as I place it in the tank. It is Kent's platinum and they are little pellets. Will my clowns still eat the food from the bottom or should I get some type of floating food? What type of food do ya'll suggest. Thanks.

    Best clown food?

    I just got two clown fish and have been feeding them kent's platinum. It seems like the food sinks too fast for them to eat. Is this normal, or should I get a different type of food. Thanks.

    brown stringy algae

    My tank has been set up for about 4 weeks with 30 pounds live rock and 20 pounds live sand. My algae bloom started about a week ago. Now I have a brownish/ dark green string algae growing on some of the rocks. It almost looks like cotton candy or a hair ball of really small hairs. Is this...

    my 29g biocube pics

    The first compartment in the back has a cut out for wires to run through. I just ran the wire up the back and through the hole. You can still see some of the wire but it doesn't get pinched by the top.

    my 29g biocube pics

    I put my live rock and sand in last Wednesday. Let me know what you think. I'm open to suggestions. I also put a maxi-jet 400 in the tank. It is located in the tank's back left and is pointed through the rocks towards the front right corner. Do you think this is a good spot for it? Also, can...

    short cycle

    Thanks. The rock was shipped so i am going to give it a few more weeks before adding anything else and see what happens. Should I go ahead and do a water change even though the cycle was so small. Or wait and see if it cycles again. Thanks for all the help.
