My lfs told me that my tank was done cycling. It had 4 yellow tailed damsels in it for about 7 weeks. At 7 weeks I had 0 ammonia, 0 nitites, and 0 nitrates. I am still getting diatoms though, but they said that could be caused by phosphates or the light bulb (if I have a bad one)... What do...

Hi, I have a 65 gallon FO tank that finished cycling around 2 weeks ago. Sat., 6 days ago, I put in a chalk bass and a coral beauty. I tried feeding 1/2 cube of frozen formula 2 for 3 days, but coral beauty didn't eat and chalk bass started eating on 3rd night. I then bought live brine...

I have a cycling question. I have a 65 gallon tank with no live rock. I have 4 yellow tailed damsels. I went through my ammonia spike and had Nitrites and Nitrates. In the 6th week of my tank's cycle a did a water change since my levels of Nitrites and Nitrates were low. The next day I had...

I was thinking of getting a cowfish instead of the fiji puffer. (The cowfish that only grows to about 5-6") If I do that when do I get him first or after the Cardinals??? Thanks!

I used 4 yellow tail damsels to cycle the tank, but when I buy my first fish I am giving the LFS the damsels back. (Actually I only have 2 right now, 2 were killed by the remaining 2)

Actually my tank is 65 gallons not 55. I have an internal filtration system so the tank is 65 in front and with all the filters and behind the divider it is about 85 gallons. Fish area is 65. What order should I put the fish in the tank. Which one first??

ok, then how about a dwarf angel (coral beauty), tang (powder blue), and butterfly (long nose), and maybe 1 other smaller fish like gramma or dottyback?

I am currently cycling my 65 Gallon Tank with Yellow Tailed Damsels. I have a protein skimmer, wet/dry, canister, and uv sterilizer. When finished I want to build the following fish community (obviously introduce the fish over time). I have been told that I should not put these fish in the...

thanks, any more input? I will add all the media tonight. The filter did come with a carbon pad, should I use it from the beginning? (I am going to fill the tank tonight)

Just got one of these and it came with free media. I am assembling it and filling my brand new 65 gallon tank tomorrow. My tank has a built in trickle filter and protein skimmer. I also got an 18w uv sterilizer. My question: the canister came with EMFIMECH and EHFISUBSTRAT, about equal...
