So I transferred a V. Lion from a 60 gallon to a 90 gallon. I used a net to lure him into a collection cup and dripped him. I noticed later he had a broken / damaged fin (on the lion main), not on top. I thought he might have already had it (I have had him since he was smaller than a inch and...

Guilty as charged. It's a 90 gallon, that had been exposed to to much direct sun light. I fixed that problem, (but only recently), I had a lot of purple algae growth that went away fast after I stopped the sun light issue, but hair algae continued. The bio-load is way to high, and I need to...

Is there treatment?

Does any one know what causes it or how to control or prevent?

Thank you

I read that large angels are not compatibale with other large angles. Is this true? Do to size in and of tank or aggresiveness. As anyone kept large angles together before. In paticular, I was thing a Emporer and a Queen in a 180gallon tank. Any opinions?

I have a Rena XP3 (rated for 125g) and two Fluval's (304 and 404 for 70g and 100g). Rena needs the media replaced more often than Fluval. Both about every month, but the fluval has sponges that you can rinse, Rena recomends replaceing all media (exect ceramic rings and stuff) every month. No...

How loud is your skimmer. I have a new Prism skimmer I just got for my 84g. I have a Berlin airlift (powered by an air pump) w/ wood stone in my 30 & 60g. I got the Prism knowing since I would not need an air pump (because it has a motor), it might run more silent. The prism is making a lot of...

Refractometer (per your and others here recommendation). You might not remember, but I have bugged you before. You helped save my fish!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for everything! I was worried about the skimmer, but I feel better now, thank you again!

I have been at Hypo for 2 weeks now. All signs of ich were gone after 2 days, but I will keep it at Hypo for 4 weeks total. The skimmer stopped collecting the the cup after a few days. Will it hurt anything since the skimmer is not actually collecting? So you do recommend leaving the skimmer on...

A few questions: #1) Will Hypo treatment affect a Protein Skimmer? #2) Should one run a Protein Skimmer during Hypo treatment? #3) How long until the lack of a operational Protein Skimmer affect the enviorment?

Thanks for the responce. I actually did lower it into the water as far as I could, no change. It did work before, and suddenly one day stopped. I am duing Hypo treatment on the tank for ich. I had medicated the tank before hypo (I didn't have a refractometer yet, and I wanted to do something...

Anyone ever had their skimmer stop skimming? Mine is a Berlin Airlift powered by a air pump (w/ a wood stone). I actually have two, and 4 day's ago one of them stopped collecting stuff in the cup. It as been clean and empty for almost a week and the tank quickly got cloudy. The pump is working...

Do Hypo, it works!

Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with the rest of us......... We may seem ungrateful, impatient, and full of ourselves, but we are the ones asking for help, and thankful when you respond. This forum is a great place to share and gain knowledge. I am thankful for it, and for...

Thanks everyone!

Is it the 60 or 90 airlift, powered by a airpump? Around $30 to $40....... I only ask because Berlin makes more expensive skimmers as well. I have a 60 and a 90 and they work great! Better than I ever imagined, nothing bad......

I know why, or what the text books say: but any other info on the subject, Has anyone had a puffer puff for no good reason, for attention? Yes, I know they only do it during stress, and it's not the first thing they will do, but..... other opinions, or experiances......

Thanks for the repley.......

I will admite I am a total newbie, and this is all just opinion, but: I did do lots of bad on my first tank and learned as I went, but lots of this hobby is based on personal opinions on how you want to do things, and learning from mistakes (or not). I used no live rock the first time, and for...
