    cleaning an empty tank

    Hi everyone. I'm trying to clean out my 65 gallon tank (empty right now). It's got some old dried up algea on the sides. What's the best way to get it as clean as possible besides good ol' fashion elbow grease? Any tips/tricks out there that has worked well? :notsure:

    Tiny white spot on new coral beauty??

    I don't know if this will help or not, but I had somewhat of a similar situation with my CB Angelfish. I got her from my LFS when she was a baby and she had two white spots on her. They told me it was calcium buildup and she would be OK. Well, whether or not that is correct, she never...

    Cloudy Water

    I know I'm asking an old question...but the water in my tank is very cloudy. Looks a little green. Water change needed? I changed water last week. I first noticed it when I broke down the tank and scrubbed all the algea off...then I did a 12 gal water change. It never cleared up. Any...

    Strangest fish combos?

    I was wondering what strange fish combo's everyone has? You know, the classic exception to the rule-two or more fish that aren't supposed to get along, but do. I have a pair of O&W P. clownfish and a pair of B&W O. clownfish that I have heard that aren't supposed to get along.

    Anthia not eating

    it could be possible...the other one can be a bit of a bully. My filter is not working so I cannot get her into the other tank until I replace it. Do you think she'll be ok until I can get it replaced?

    Anthia not eating

    Ok...I'm confused...I have two bartlett anthias for well over 6 months. For the past few days I've noticed that one of my anthia's is not eating. She (or he?) hangs out in one spot at the bottom of the tank like she is scared. I have another one that is doing very well as well as my other...

    LMB Personality

    How does your LMB act? I feel like I got two fish in one. He's digging out a space under one of my LR for his home and he's acting like a jawfish. I originally got him to take care of my algea. Maybe he's considering a career change to construction?

    Anthia temperment

    Hey guys..I have a pair of Bartlett Anthia's that I purchased from my LFS. They have been living in harmony (famous last words, huh?) until recently. The larger one is showing aggressive behavior towards the somewhat smaller one. There hasn't been any nipping (not that I can tell anyways)...

    B&W and Percs

    I have a pair of Ocillaris (sp?) B & W and a pair of Perc (O & W) clownfish. They don't bother each other....except for when the small perc gets into the B &W territory....then he gets chased away...but other than that....I guess I'm lucky?

    Inventory OK?

    The first four are already established in my tank. I was just wanting to finish up my tank. I didn't think about the color issue. I know the CB shouldn't be housed with other dwarf angles. I've had several people ride both sides of the fence...some say the RB will be OK..others say my tank's...

    QT tank size= what size fish?

    I have a 10 gal QT tank and I was wondering if there was a certain size of fish I can keep in there before I display into my main tank. I only have a 65, so I won't be QT'ing anything huge. Let me explain, I purchased a Kole Tang and placed him in my QT with lights off. All my parameters are...

    Bad advise from the LFS...

    Me: I noticed my Raccoon Butterflyfish (that I purchased from them) has some spots on him, I'm looking for a treatment. LFS: Oh, it's nothing, probably just a general parasite fish get. Buy a cleaner shrimp and he'll take care of him. (The RBF took care of the shrimp-sucked him dry later that...
