Well I got my clown fish. They were both in the same tank at the LFS. I got one that was slightly bigger than the other. I acclimated them slowly. Its been a couple of days since they are in my DT, however they don't seem to be eating. Is that normal? How long should I wait before i worry...

I bought the marinelife self timer and the instructions is soooo stupid. Either I must be an idiot or the instructions is confusing. Does anybody have one? If so can you tell me in plain english how it works? Thanks!

How do you get rid of the bubbles?

Ahhh, this is great info! I never knew that! Thanks guys!

Hi guys, I will be going to my LFS today to get a pair of False Percula. I'd like to get a male/female. Does anybody know how to tell them apart? Meaning tell which one is male and which is female? Thanks!

Well, I'm using the current lighting that came witht he aquarium. I think it is a 50/50 Watt. What do you suggest? I'm hesitant about getting the Halide lights. Would a more wattage bulb be sufficient? Meaning replace the bulbs? Thanks!

Hi guys, So I've cycled my tank now. It has been cycling for 2.5 mos and there are algae such as diatoms and coraline algae growing on the rocks. I have the cleaner crews in there for the past 3 weeks now. I am planning on stocking it with these fishes. Do you guys think it is a good idea...

I think that my LFS isn't very good at all. They're just all about profits. They seem unhappy to see customers go into their shop. They have a frown on their faces when i talk to them.

Wow!!! That makes a lot of sense. I've read blogs here and there about raw shrimp but I never understood it before. Hey Thanks!

I am a newbie at this and I went to my LFS and asked them how to cycle my tank and he suggested getting several blue damsels and put it in my tank and feed them once a day. He says that the tank will be cycled within 2 weeks. This was contrary to what i've read on here previously. My question...

My cleaner shrimp shed its skin yesterday. I've had him/her for about 3 weeks now. When I looked in the tank yesterday I thought he had died and the crabs and gotten hold of him, but it was just his exoskeleton. Is that normal? Thanks!

Yes, I added a package of live bacteria that my LFS advised me to put into the tank. More diatoms appeared on my live rock. Tested the water parameters. Here are the specs. Salinity - 1.025 Temp: 82 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 10ppm Ammonia: 10ppm My phosphate levels seems to be high though. I've...

So, the point of feeding a ghost tank is to get Ammonia levels up and let it spike? Couldn't I just buy a product that just de-amonnizes it?

Yes, my tank is brand new. I've been cycling it for 1 1/2 months now. Ammonia might have spiked, but i might have missed testing it. Should I get clean up crews? Thanks!

Also, my salinity level is 1.024

Hello guys. I need your help. I'm not quite sure if my cycling is completed or not. I ran the tank with just the live rocks and sand for about a month. I tested it reguarly. But I didn't see any spike in nitrite. Recently though, I tested it and my these are my tank parameters now...

Yeah, that's what I meant. The alkalinity is too high. How do I bring it down? Thanks!

Hello guys, I'm in my second week of cycling my tank and the test revealed that the hardness of the water is too high. How do I bring it down to acceptable levels? Thanks!

Yes, I have one in there. I'm thinking of gettong two though.

So I should get an Ammonia test kit and test it everyweek and if Ammonia level rises to more than 1ppm I should change water about 20-25% of it? Thanks!
