No offense but, if I say they are normal then they are normal ranges! What part of normal do you not understand? Salinity 1.023 Temp 79 deg. ph 8.2 nitrate 0 Ammonia 0 Nitrate 0 I have had these parameters for since I started this tank in January of 2004, with the exception of the salinity...

I am feeding it Green Algae Seaweed Salad, Formula two and Brine shrimp plus both by Ocean Nutrition. I do have a grounding probe. Water conditions are normal. No signs of lateral line disease ick or any other disease. He seems fine today and has just eaten. I really thought he was a gonner...

Well its been about 2 hours now and he seem fine now. He ate very well and he is now moving like a tang should and seems to have regained control of his swimming. He literaly almost went belly up for a moment and actuall was lying head first in the sand against the glass for a moment too...

Came home and yellow tank is having difficutly swimming. Not moving very well at all. No visible signs of any trauma or disease. Water parameters good. Any ideas???? He is eating though. The food has seemed to perk him up a little. I feed him once a day. HELP??? Chris

They are definitely only on the inside and are hair line only. The only thing I can think of is maybe I scratched the inside with my algea scrapper.

I have a 55g and just notice some hair line cracks(scratches). I stock my algea scrapper in there and could feel the cracks as I move the algae scrapper across them. 2 are about 3 inches long and one is about 2 inches all are concentrated in one area about 4-5 inches off the bottom. I just...

He's definitely gone and he was definitely being devoured. Thanks for your input! Anyone else have this happen. Chris

Hi, When I got home tonight, I found that one of my cleaner shrimp had the other one half eaten and is continuing to devour him. I haven't look at them since last night but everything was fine then. I do have red legged hermit crabs and don't know if they had anything to do with it. All I can...

Cincyreefer Help! Maybe they changed the penguin 550 but I can't even get 5/8 ID tubing around the outlet of the powerhead let alone trying to use 1/2". Any ideas? Chris

Cool, Now I just have to wait for my penguin 550 powerhead and the 1/2 tubing. Thanks! Chris

CINCYREEFER, How do you have it all connected? Does the powerhead push water through the sterilizer our pull water through the sterilizer? Thanks! Chris

Looking at a automatic fish feeder when on vacation or gone for a couple of days? What models do you all have and would you recommend them? Thanks! Chris

Any one out there have a turbo twist UV sterilizer? If so what are you using to pump the water? What powerheads are recommended for use with this unit? Thanks! Chris

Try the Red Sea Prizm skimmer. a little noisy though I have nothing to compare it too. Pulls all of the nastiest little stuff out of the water. Really works great, just have to adjust every once in a while. Chris

I just bought a Ultra titanium grounding probe by Ultralife Reef products. The directions say to attach suction cup above water line. Ok but my water line is almost at the very top just above the black trim piece. And it says to attach eyelet to a ground that is above water level. How can I...

Any recommendations on a quarantine tank size for new fish? I was thinking of just getting one of those mini-bow 5 gallon all in one thingamajiggies. Thanks! C

Any one have more than one dwarf angel in there tank and what size tank do you have? I am thinking of getting both a flame angel and a coral beauty angel. Along with adding a yellow tang. I have a 55g. As a general rule I have heard only on dwarf per tank unless its a big tank. Would like...
