I have been having a problem with cyno. All my levels test ok (phosphates and nitrates) so I tried Diamond Gobies on a few different occasions. They all jumped through the eggcrate. Anyway, I needed something to stir my sandbed and I thought what better than a "Sand Sifting Star". My...

Just got a SSS yesterday. 125g w/DSB. Tank is one year old. I know I'll get flamed for buying one but I like to try things for myself. Question is a two parter... 1) The star hasn't moved since I put it in. It buried itself where I placed it. This morning it was still partially buried...

I ordered Chemi pure and was wondering if I still run the Carbon (Black Diamond) ?... or are they essentially the same thing?

I purchased a Diamond Goby a few days ago. After the first night, he dissapeared. This is my 3rd one. After the first two jumped, I got eggcrate from HD. Anyway, after a few days and assuming he was gone, I found the little bugger in my sump! Alive! He went through the overflow box and...

I thought these pumps were supposed to be good. After one month of operation, these things are so noisy that I have since unplugged them. Nothing was stuck in them and they weren't that dirty. Anyone else have this problem. Also, what other PH would you recommend?

I've been looking around and found a site that said you can keep two Fridmanis. They didn't specify that they have to be a mated pair. Is this true? I have a 125g with lots of LR (about 120lbs).

Currently acclimating flame angel from this site. He/She appears to be bobbing for air. It's swimming around in the bucket (drip acclimation) trying to keep it's nose out of the water. Is this normal? Has this happened to anyone else?

I just ordered 3 Yellow Tangs (small 1.5" - 2"), 1 Flame Angel, and one small Green Chromis (free gift from SWF). These will all go into a 125g. FOWLR + Sand Bed. My question is, can I acclimate the 3 yellow tangs all in the same bucket? I know they will come in their own bags but can I...

I have a 125g with about 100 pounds of LR and 160 pounds of LS. The tank has been up and running for about 3 months with cleanup crew, diamond goby, and 5 small green chromis (about 1 inch). I would like to add the following fish but I'm not sure what order to add them. Flame Angel Yellow Tang...

I recently started up my 125 again. I have about 90lbs of LR (not live anymore due to being in storage for about 4 years but cleaned before putting in tank) and 160lbs of LS recently purchased. I added the sand when I had about 60 gallons of water made (didn't have the room to make anymore)...

I'm starting up my tank again (previously running for about 4 years) and can't decide on LS or CC. Previously I had CC but have heard a lot of good things about LS. My concern is.... How do you vacuum this stuff? Do you not vacuum it? Do powerheads stir up the sand and make the tank all...

I'm setting up my 125g again. In the past, I had the 15w AquaClear UV sterilizer on my main tank but now I'm thinking of putting it on the QT tank. The QT tank is a 30g tank. I've heard all different reasons for UV from ICH control, to algea control, to water clarity (not sure if it actually...

I'm trying to remove green hair algea from my rock. It was once live (4 years ago) but now, obvioulsy dead. I can't get this hair off. I've tried bleaching and it just turned the hair light tan. I've tried boiling it but that didn't work. How else can I get all this hair off without sitting...

I'm starting my tank up again after 4 years. I'm replacing all the RO/DI filters but I can't remember if my RO unit is a 35gpd or 60gpd. It's a Kent Marine Hi-S Maxima. Can anyone help? Is there a way to tell? It doesn't say anything on the outside (serial # etc.).
