Some advice please. So, I have a 10 gallon running now with a Whisper 20-40 HOB filter, which has a 240 GPH rating, setup on the left side of the tank. No other source of circulation is in the tank. Would it be recommended that I buy a powerhead for the right side and if so, what size and type...

I would just like to give an update: I did the transfer to the 10G on Saturday. I added live sand, 10lbs of live rock, some established media from the old tank, and about 4 gallons of water from the old tank. Everything went smoothly. It is now Monday and I did a check on the tank parameters...

Quote: Originally Posted by SnakeBlitz33 Did you have a chiller on the jellyfish tank? ^ ReefKprZ is right. If you use all cycled rock and dead sand, there is very little chance of an ammonia spike. If you have filtration media from your jellyfish tank, keep it wet/underwater while you move...

Hello to all. First my story: I am an experienced freshwater hobbyists of 15 years, but a newbie at saltwater. I recently purchased one of those jellyfish aquariums, had 3 jellyfish established in the tank and later added 1 Clownfish. Although the Clownfish is doing great , unfortunately, the...

I am trying to keep my tank (a 7 gallon kreisel tank) at 76*, but with this hot summer so far, it has been very difficult. I already moved it to a cooler room in my house, but it still gets up to 79*, give or take. I do not have money for one of those expensive chillers. I have tried the ice...

Oh, and by the way, I checked out the website you gave, and if it was ich, it did not get anywhere nearly as bad as those in the pics. Still not sure if that was it though.

WOW! I'm shocked by the lack of advice. 2 people did respond but with little advice. Thank god the situation worked itself out or I would have to put my trust in some LFS. Frankly, the responders appeared kind of short with me. Guess this is not a very welcome forum for newbies

Although there is no substitute for water changes, it depends on the chemicals you use. A certain dechlorinator such as Prime also removes the toxicity of nitrates and nitrites. It does not remove the nitrates from the system, just the toxicity, therefore the water changes take out the...

Quote: Originally Posted by Beth Fishman, no tank is fully cycled in two weeks, let alone cycled enough to accommodate animals. If your tank was fully cycled, you would not have ammonia. It sounds like your fish have ich. Jellyfish are supposed to have a dedicated tank (not shared with other...

Hello to all. I came home today to a sick clown. It appears there are several white raised spots around his mouth and gills and a few on his body on only one side of his body. On the same side, his one eye is cloudy and popped out. I do not have a QT set up but I can get one set up quickly. He...
