I had that problem and it was the tap water I was using. Are you using a R/O unit.

Are you going with just a sand bed? If so just remove the gravel. I not to long ago removed all my crushed coral and added 4inchs of sand. When adding fish: Add the most aggressive fish last.

Jimi, I put the 50lbs in three seperate buckets and added a bucket each day(I do have livestock). But I need another 50lbs how long should I wait before I add it. I was going to wait until everything clears up and change my filter pads, add more carbon rocks? What you think? Anyone.

lfs's sell traps. Never used one, maybe someone who has will let you know how effective they are soon.

Mostly any animal adapts to his or her settings. My brother and I had American gators a year ago and mine was in my 125 gal tank and his was in I believe an 55 gal tank. His was bigger than mine at first and my gator almot caught up with his in about a month. So, the more space you give them...

I'm not sure i'm going to give it a shot since no one has replied yet. Maybe your over filtering the tank. If it's such a thing. I've noticed that is a 37gal. You have 70lbs. of l/r and how much l/s? How long has the tank been running. Just a shot I really don't know but someone will be here...

Your just like me. I wanted a stingray for the same reasons, I wanted some interesting for people to look at when they come over. That was my main reasons for starting a saltwater aquarium. Once I got on this board I've learned many things one is that there are fresh water rays also and...

I've seen them in the same tank at the per shop but they do need their space. A larger tank would be needed.

Yes you need to turn it off. It's slowing down your cycle.

It sound like your angle is getting use to it's new home some fish take longer to adjust than others. I love angles, I'm not ready for one yet your water has to be perfect for them beauties. How long have your tank been up and running? You should be able to mix angles. Check some other posts...

Thanks you guys for clearing that up for me because the clerks at my lfs put them ?'s in my head. You know; It's hard going into the lfs and asking them a question and they tell you a answer that you know is wrong, and you can't correct them because they know more about the hobby than you and...

I have a 7inch mappa puffer and I just got him on a regular diet. Once a day 5 to 6 different foods that I rotate. You should feed your fish around your schdule. If your not home much as I am, feed once maybe twice a day. If you start feeding two to three times a day and can't stay...

fixit, do I just put the 48inch vho in the back of the lighting fixtures that I have now? Because I should have room. I'm not familar with how the vho's look or the set-up. Thanks for the info and I'll take it to the lfs and get what I need.

I have a 125gal tank, it's fowlr and l/s. I know I don't need special lighting but I like the look of the blue light. I have standard lights that came with the tank 2(36" fluorescent aquarium reflector 120volts/36watt/and 60hz. Something that shows off my fish and is good for the l/r and l/s.

I have a kit that test for Wide Range PH, Nitrate, Nitrite, and Ammonia. What other things that I need to test for? First one being the most important.

Hey, should I put it all in at once or a little at a time? I just put in 1/3 of it in and it's pretty cloudy. Should I put it all in now and get it over with?

Thanks because I think I have a mixture of the two in my tank is that alright?

If your water is great I don't think you should be looking into any other kind of filteration, unless your looking at biological filteration. "If it's not broke, do not fix it."

jacksonpt is correct it's about 1 to 1 1/2ppg. The same for l/r.

What if I had a ick break-out and I put my fish in a hospital tank. The ick is still inside the tank? Am I right? What steps do I then take? I'm just asking because a guy at the lfs brought this to my attention and I didn't have a answer. I wondered would I just have to replace everything.
