    Nitrites

    Since cleaning our CC bed in 180 FOwLR I have been getting nitrite readings of 0.25-1.0 off & on. Been doing partial water changes. I believe it's from the ffod that stays on the bottom that the 3 large hermit crabs don't get at. I have aggressive fish that are real pigs: niger, humu, lion...

    Lionfish hunger strike

    We have a volitan lion who ate a couple of fairly large goldfish 10 days ago. Since then, he's very sluggish, sits on the bottom & doesn't seem interested in any further feeding. Is this normal? He had a great appettite when we first got him 3 weeks ago.

    Sand Stirrers

    What can we put in a 180 gal FO to stir sand & keep substrate clean. We have 2 niger triggers, a picasso, & porcupine puffer among the population. So far we have a 2 1/2"green hermit & a chocolate chip starfish, but they're not doing the job. Any suggestions?

    Atlantic carpet anemone

    I have an "Atlantic Carpet Anemone". I want to get 2 percula clowns. Will the Atlantic anemone (I have 2 others - different types) kill the clowns if they go near the Atlantic???? Some one told me it would? The store owner didn't tell me so I was wondering, should I bring it back????? Thanks

    White stuff on live rock

    We're cycling some live rock (cured & uncured) in our 180 gal to be used as a f.o. We're seeing some white "fungus" or mold on a couple of pieces of the cured rock. What is it? Is the rock dying? What should we do? Thanks.

    Fluidized Bed

    Can a fluidized bed filter replace a bio-wheel? We hate the dual biowheels that we have on our 55 gal. They take up so much room on the back. Can we get a fluidized bed like a Merlin Plus so we can add a phosphate filter?

    What type filter?

    We've decided to go with a 180 gal FO tank & convert our 55 gal to a reef setup. What type of filter system is recommended for the 180 gal FO. I have a fluidized bed filter already. We have heard a lot about wet/dry, but it seems complicated, and it is a "trate farm." Would a large canister...

    Bigger Tank

    We want to move up from a 55 gal FO set-up to a 150-180 gal FO/mini reef. How do you make the switch? i.e. when can you move your fish, inverts, coral, etc. to the new tank & how do you keep a tank that size mobile so that you can "wheel" it in the place of the old tank? Sorry if this sounds...
