My tank has been up for about 5 months. I am getting discouraged because after looking at everyone's pics I realized my water isnt crystal clear like everyone else. I do my water changes regularly and my levels are all good but the tank looks like crap. Also, all of a sudden my yellow tang is...

Thanks guys. I will try raising the salinity. My tangs are pretty small (only about 1-1 1/2 inches) This 55 gal is temporary. We are in the market for something larger.

I have some decorative rocks and plants. My substrate is saltwater gravel. I have 3 percula clowns a regal tang a yellow tang 2 blue damsels and a cleaner shrimp until recently. I have a HOB filter and a protein skimmer and 2 powerheads.

I have a 55gal up and running for about 3 months. It has cycled and fish are doing well. However, I do not currently have live sand or live rock at this time. Do I need a cleanup crew? Can I even put them in since I do not have LS or LR? I bought a cleaner shrimp about 3 weeks ago. He...

Just wanted to know if this was normal. My regal tang has ich. I am aware that it is very common for them. I moved him to my QT to treat the ich. He is not a pretty blue in some places like his belly and around his mouth. He is white or almost transparent. Is this just from stress? He has...

Hi everyone! :needhelp: 2 days ago I bought 2 new clowns. I acclimated for several hours. My levels are great and temp is 82. They stay at the top of the tank practically with their fins out of the water. They swim as if they are fighting a huge current (which they are not). Is this...

Thanks Scubadoo, he is pretty small. I have an clip and some greens but don't know where the best place is to put it so they will feed. I put it on once and they ignored it. Any ideas?

That looks great. Are the live anemones and corals hard to care for?

We already know we want to get a bigger tank once we get the hang of all this. I just got a few inexpensive fish to keep from throwing my $$$ away. The tomato clown was given to me with the tank. He had lived for 2 months with no electricity and little food other than what was in the tank...

Digital cam out of commision. sorry..... Friend gave me the tank so I don't really know what kind of gravel it is. I will definately add the powerheads. I was afraid to get a cleanup crew at the start. I have a tomato clown, a yellow tang, and 2 blue damsels. Don't laugh.....I have some...

Hi everyone. I am new to saltwater and have a couple of basic questions if anyone has advice. I have a 55 gal tank up and running for about 6 weeks, protein skimmer, charcoal filter, etc. Is live sand a must? ( I have gravel at present time) Are air stones bad or ok? Do I need a powerhead...
