I have a 90g, with overflow, came drilled. It has one return pump (standard), but of course this isn't optimal for good water flow. In tank powerheads aren't very powerful and can be a pain in the but, so I was thinking, is there other ways to add more return pumps in order to increase the...

Both are my tanks. The one I have combined into has: Niger Trigger < [hr] had him for 4 years Maroon Clown< [hr] have had him for 12 years! Puffer < [hr] had him for about 1 year I haven't introduced anything into my tank that would give them ICH or anything. Nothing has been...

For some reason, my puffer seems to be secreting some kind of slime or something! Symptoms: Rubbing up against things Spinning Whenever he hits the sand, it really sticks to him and seems to hang. Can someone help me? He is my favorite fish and I really don't want to lose him. As far as I can...

I have 2 90g and I combined them just a few days ago because my Mom wants one of them to have Oranda Goldfish (for those of you who don't know, they are the ones that get as bigger and fatter than baseballs and are really bright). That is my parents tank anyway, so we are putting the fish into...

I wouldn't suggest any eels in a reef. People have done it, but most of the time, it's a horror flick waiting to happen. A lot of reef fish are smaller, or more slender, and easy targets for agressive eels. You're either going to have to go aggressive or get rid of the eels and go reef. In...

Okay, probably old thread, but I haven't been here in a while, so I'm sorry if it's a repeat, but try to bear with me. Okay, I have a 90g with a dogface puffer in it (I just found out our lionfish died. We were on vacation and our thermometer was set for the weather when we left, and that...

At the LFS, they usually have those long metal lighting systems that go over the top. They look sort of like workshop lights. What kind of lighting is that for(VHO, MH, etc.)? Also, the LFS usually sells the long tube lighting, what kind of lighting is that because it says flourecent, but it...

I've had my dwarf zebra lion for over half a year in a tank with a small dogface puffer (they leave each other alone and actually enjoy one another, no picking fins here). My lionfish will only eat live feeder shrimp ever since I got him. My dogface eats frozen shrimp, yet despite my trying...

No pic yet, but he eats out of my hand lol. I have a question, he gets little white stuff on him and his fins, but when he goes in the blower they seem to come off (I think). They seem to come and go in volume, I don't think it is ICH though it looks like it. He likes going around blowing...

I got a little dogface puffer two days ago. He is only about 2 inch long. He is in my tank with a dwarf zebra lion (yes I know that sometimes the puffer can pick at their fins, but that is why I got a small puffer.) The two have been living perfectly fine together so far. The puffer ate for...

I had a trigger that literally played dead everytime you came close to the tank, he would immediatly float sideways to the bottom, all color would disappear, and he would just lay there, and as soon as you backed up from the tank, he would get up and be fine. He was nerotic, and because of that...

I had the same thing happen with mine! He died soon afterward, sry to say. I asked people, but no one seemed to know the answer, or what to do about it. It might be irritation from high nitrates or something.

Is there a way to get rid of bubble algae easily? I know that you can buy emerald crabs that will eat at it, but is there any alternative? If there isn't, how many emerald crabs per gallons?

Wow...Its not everyday that your R.I.P topic gets turned into a debate about a 9 year old. :notsure: :notsure:

Well, after the lion pesters the shrimp to clean him, the shrimp finally goes and tries to clean him. But the first thing he goes for is the antenaes on the lions head, and the lion flinches a little (i bet it tickled) and the shrimp backs off. I know this relationship can work, now its a...

The lion is constandly laying on the rock near him, and keeps trying to get his attention by moving to differnt angles, but he isnt' threatening him or even eyeing him as a snack! PLZ CLEAN HIM! They are an inch apart, I didn't pay $20 for nothing...CLEAN NOW! Lol, I'm joking, actually all...
