LFS also told me to use DAMsels to cycle (that was before I found this site) and I was sorry. They are called DAMsels for a reason and it takes hours to get them out once you have your LRF set up and you find that they do not seem to get along with anything else you try to put in your tank...

Thank you so much-I had an ich problem before and I was afraid it was starting again!

When I first turn my lights on in my tank my yellow tang has a large brown circle on his body and also little white spots but once the lights are on for a few minutes both go away. Is this normal? None of my other fish have these marks on them. I have a flame angel, blue hippo, perc clown...

I use two Emperor 400s and a Sea Clone 150 skimmer and they seem to work good for me.

I am not sure what kind of plant it is. It has little grape like clusters on a vine. This stuff has grown fast and has little roots that are attaching to the LR. I am pulling it off as much as I can but the little roots stick in the rock and the stuff grows back. Thanks

A few weeks ago I added plant life to my tank and now I have a real mess! I put in a few strands of grape like plants and now the stuff is growing everywhere. It is stuck to my rocks and now I also have hair algea mixed in with it. I started with well water but I am now using RO/DI for top...

What could I use as a hanger?

Can someone please help me with this?

I am not at home right now so I can't check the brand name. I have used a razor and cleaned the glass and still after a day or so the dumb things fall off and I come home to a mess! Are they in the right location? Thanks

Does any one have suggestions on how to keep power heads attached to the tank wall? I have three power heads that keep falling off and creating a sand storm in my tank. I am using the suck cups that came with them. They have very short cords that make it hard to move them around. I have one...

How many gph do the Emperor 400 put out?

10x turnover?

Right now I have two Aqua-Tech 170 gph power heads and 2 Emperor 400 and a Prizm protein skimmer on my 125 gal tank. My ?s are: 1. Do I need more powerheads and how many? 2. Where should I place the powerheads in the tank? 3. Should I be running them with the little air tube in or block it off...

I am just recovering from a crash so I know how you feel about the wait!! I have complained so much my son said he is going to cut some fish pictures out and tape to the outside of the tank so he doesn't have to listen to me any more! Believe me-go slow-it is harder to have something in your...

I was planning on leaving the tank fishless since I haven't even bought anything yet and I plan on QT everything that I get for 4-6 weeks before putting in main tank again. I just thought that I could get a clean up crew to get the tank clean again. It looks so ugly right now and I also kept my...

Thanks again! As of today ammonia is a 0.25 (Aquarium Pharmaceutical test kit) nitrites at 0 nitrates at 20 CA at 400 Salt 1.024 temp 82 Brown alagea everywhere-green just starting. I went over my whole tank lifted up and checked under each piece of LR and found nothing dead. I checked all...

I still have the CBS-1 peppermint shrimp-1 cleaner shrimp and a horseshoe that are still in the tank (they made it through the crash) and I never took them out. They seem to be doing fine. I had to add water due to evaporation and that helped bring the readings down. Thanks to everyone how...

After crashing my tank-finally my levels are getting back to normal. After almost 2 weeks of high readings on ammonia and nitrites (darkest color on chart) my ammonia level is at .25 (the lowest it has ever been and I am using aquarium pharmaaceuticals master kit and been reading on other posts...

OK-PROBLEM IS THAT THE TANK IS STILL CYCLING-THE HORSESHOE AND A CBS-A CLEANER SHRIMP AND A PEPPERMINT SHRIMP HAS LIVED THROUGH CRASH. RIGHT NOW THE TRITES ARE STILL WAY HIGH (DARKEST COLOR ON THE CHART). THE AMMONIA LEVEL HAS DROP FROM THE DARKEST COLOR TO .25. I WAS TOLD TO WAIT UNTIL THE...

So-are you telling me that I should get rid of the horseshoe crab? I was told I needed something to stir the sand and that these did the best job.
