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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

How long does it take a new Cleaner Shrimp to begin cleaning fish? I have a dwarf lion and just got a cleaner today (yes I gambled and came out on top because they have been within an inch of each other several times with no problems). When will he start to try to clean my zebra lion? Are...

Wow, what a crappy day i had. My eel didn't jump out of the eggcrated top no, he swims into the overflow, through all the plumbing, into the sump, and squeezes his way between the glass and the acrylic glass and jumps behind my sump. I come home from school, move the rocks, and eventually...

My tank has been developing slowly (lack of money) but it is finally getting there and I am soon going to get the livestock I want. Lets compare, my first pictures in the first post are from about Nov.-Dec. The second post ones are from pictures i took today. Right now I have a Dwarf Zebra...

At fintastic in Charlotte, NC, they have a year old location, and they have finally gotten their 800-1000g (it is a guess, it could be even larger) and they have a nerf shark (this shark used to be in a small tank which he was over half the lenght of it, but now he is super happy. They have a...

Since boxfish can release toxins when stressed, how do u transfer them to you tank if u have ordered them on the internet. I know that u don't add the water that they were in into ur tank, but won't they possible release this toxin as soon as they hit the water. I had a cowfish (long-horn)...

I can't seem to find that much info or anyone that sells them no the internet. Anyone have any info on them (how big they get is one i would like to know?), or where u can buy them it would be appreciated. If u can't post because of conflicting websites my email is snkbite@yahoo.com

I got a SFE a few days ago, and he wouldn't come out of his hole enough (he would come out most of the way, but never leave the whole completly). Today I had the idea of trying to handfeed him. I tried it, and it worked! I fed him about 4 peices of krill, and i only managed to get one bite...

Okay, finally i have my aggressive tank up and running. Livestock: Dwarf Zebra Lion 3-4 in V-Tail Grouper 4-5in Snowflake Eel 8-9in That is what i have so far and hope to get picks soon. It is funny, my v-tail will lean up against the lion, sometimes laying right on him, and luckily the lion...

My 90g agressive is now several months old, I have a strong pump going from the sup up, 810gph, and I have a 295 gph powerhead. I just have a dwarf lion in there, my water quality is good, but I'm having brown algae grow on the sand, how do I control or prevent this. I'm getting more agressive...

I got a dwarf Zebra Lion a week ago, and I know they are pretty lazy, but my guy hangs upside down all day, and I feed him live ghost shrimp (I know I have to break him of this, but he wasn't eating, and it is what they fed him at the store, and he ate them immediatly when I put them in). Other...

Check out the new agressive with my first fish (after 6-7 weeks of cycling). I still need some more rock formations to go in there, but I have one really nice cave. What do you think?

I can't remember right now, and I'm going to get my heater today, since it is a 90g, how many wats do I need?
