First of all what size tank and how many fish do you have...It sounds like you have too many fish...IF your other fish were already stressed out..Territorial etc adding more could have pushed the limit..Do you have a quarrantine tank?? all fish should be quarrantined at least 2 wks prior to...

I don't mind shopping on the internet anyone have a good source for them..The problem with ordering clams online is that the color varies greatly and you have to rely on their description also Maxima clams are kind of touchy..If I could get some already attached to a rock etc..I would be that...

I second that a copperband can do wonders on them ..They can multipy really fast and take over the tank..

Ro water contains less contaminants..Doesn't matter if it's a reef or fish only... evena fish only can develope slime bacteria etc..with bad water..most city water is high in phosphates which can cause bacterial problems in the long run and get expensive to get eliminate...GO with ro or you...

Nitrates are the end result of essentially the fish waste and any pollutants in the water..They also can be in the tap water that is used for your tank..If you have a dsb it probably will take a couple of months or more..(is it Bubbling?) to start ridding your tank naturally of nitrates...There...

I have only reef tanks with coral and a few fish...I would like to order a cleaning crew for the new tank I am setting up (65 gallon) after it finishes it;s cylcling..It too will have a mixture of corals

The bacteria in the substrate and in the rest of the tank will take careof the ammonia and the nitrites..but eventually you will get a build up of nitrates,,unless you havea dsb and/or live rock setup..any amount of ammonia, nitrites,nitrates in the water over along period of time can damage the...

If it's anything smaller than a 55 forget it..If the other trigger is a lot bigger he might harrass him too much..If you really must have him make a hiding space for him so that he can get away if he has too..YOu might try also keeping the light off on the tank for a few days to let the others...

I have heard many different views on hermits..Only stating not to or to get them..but no real reasons why or why not..Would like some if they are beneficial,,THey sell them here with the cleaning crew packages..Which is best for a 65 and a 90 gallon..OPionions please

I have heard that salifest are on the high end of the line and are pretty reasonably priced for the quality...Plan on buying some as soon as my others run out ..I currently have Aquarium Systems test kits I got them for half price at my lfs

In my opinion adding chemicals wont' solve the problem in the long term..As stated above a good skimmer will help along with Clean phosphate free water..RO/Di water is the best ...A good unit can be purchased for under 200.00 In the long run it will save you alot of money in water changes and...
