I have been running a 75gal for 3 years now and we are in the process of finishing our basement. Almost finished with the wiring and framing and just decided that it might be a good idea to do an "In the wall" set up with access to the tank in the unfinished portion of the basement. I am...

I set up my skimmer and I don't think I am getting enough air through the venturi valve. If I blow on the open end of the air tube it starts to skim, but once I stop blowing, no skimming. Does anyone connect small air pumps to their skimmers?? Any ideas? Thanks!!

What is the best way to get my system back to normal....everything has been humming along quite well for about 1.5 years now. I've gotten a little lazy with water changes and low and behold I'm starting to have problems. Soft coral button polyps and mushroom corals starting to not look as good...

I don't know if this is Cyano, Diatoms, but it is a pain!!! I've also recently started getting some green hair algae which you can see in the top middle right where my middle powerhead is blowing. I've got 3 powerheads (one in the left corner, middle and right corner all blowing towards the...

What other tangs will co-exist with my yellow tang. I would really like to get either a Blue Hippo ro Naso tang. Will they get along? Also, I saw on a chart that a bicolor pseudochromis will not get along w/basslets. Anyone had luck with a pseudochromis and chalk bass? Have a 75gal 70lbs of...

75 Gallon......love the sand sifting goby...got rid of all my cyano on the substrate.

Had problems w/Cyano on my substrate. Had water tested...everything perfect - ZERO phosphates. Bought a Valencia Goby (Sandsifting) on Saturday. There is absolutely no Cyano on the substrate anymore! That guy takes huge mouthfulls of sand, sifts it through his gills and appears to be doing...

Today I found my sea cucumber on top of my poly-filtration in my sump for the second time! There he lies with the water crashing down on him. The first time I picked him up w/a plastic spoon, dipped the spoon in the display tank water and he started moving. I set him down on the sand and he...

I have 3 Blue/Green Chormis' and two are doing VERY well....always eating and growing pretty fast. The third Chromis is really struggling badly. The others are constantly nipping at him and swimming in front of him (trying to bully him into mating????) shaking rapidly (like male guppies do...

Everything appears to be doing pretty well. Here's what I got: 75 gal, trickle filter (have removed 1/2 of bio balls), skimmer, 220 watt pc (1/2 actinic, 1/2 day), moon light strip 100% RO water - even got the RO machine to make it. 1 - yellow tang 1 - chalk bass 3 - blue/green chormis' 1 -...

Got this LiveRock about a week ago and it is full of life! Could anyone please identify some stuff for me? I know I've got a few feather dusters. I've also got some honeycomb corals (4-5). What is the big mucus looking thing in the front? Thanks, Brandon

I bought a beautiful condy/atlantic anenome yesterday (pretty big and full) and came home from work today and noticed that it's tentacles are inside of it's orange base. I hope it didn't die. Is this normal? It seemed well aclimated, moved around a little last night, and stayed pretty full...

Am very excited. Thanks to all who have helped so far. Got the sand in and bought some base live rock(to go with some rock I already had from my old Cichlid tank). I have a 220 watt pc light kit and skimmer coming in on Thursday. I am running a wet/dry trickle filter and have one powerhead so...

My glass canopy needs to be replaced, i don't know the manufacturer of my aquarium (all I see is an Anchor symbol). I tried an All-Glass canopy but it was barely too small (fit, but if moved by a teeny bit would fall into tank). I've searched online and can't find anyone who sells the glass...

I inherited this skimmer...I think its a pretty good one. I'm assuming it goes into the sump. For background info, I just added R/O saltwater to my 75 gal. I have a trickle wet/dry filter (20 gal sump tank below 75 gal tank). I am planning on getting some live sand today. Questions are: How do...

Have my 75 gallon full of R/O saltwater, am going to get substrate today. I have heard some swear by crushed coral and others live sand. I want gobies and some interesting creatures (brittle stars, etc.) Which one? Also, if I go live sand route (leaning towards), how much do I need, and...

Lost power over X-mas for 5 days and lost everything that I had (about 15 African Cichlids, Pleco, cat). I have made the decision to make the switch to Salt (Fish w/live rock)...what better time right? A few questions though. My 75 gallon setup was originally intended for saltwater. I was...
