I have a 150 that has a slow leak around the bottom seal. You can see/feel a bit of water around the rim. This has been there for awhile, at first I thought it was drip from cleaning but I have noticed it when I havent been doing anything in the tank so I know there must be a leak somewhere. My...

This tank has actually been set up for about four months. There is planty of live rock and the system is very healthy. I accumulated quite a bit of algae over the time which I've only had my starter fish in there , thus, adding the tang and foxface first to help out in that department. Thanks...

My 150 used to be home to a group of triggers which I found to be so messy and time consuming in terms of keeping up with the cleanup. When I moved the tank, I gave away my undulated, my bursa, niger and all else and decided to begin over with a deep sand bed and go with peaceful community fish...

I've had a lion for probably about a year now, he is very large and I had purchased him as an adult. He has always been an aggressive feeder on silversides,frozen krill and frozen shrimp. About a month or so ago, he flat out quit eating. I mean,not even interested. In fact, he swims around...

I was thinking about getting a bamboo shark for my 150 gal, hoping to upgrade to a 220 gal maybe next year if all goes well. Do these types of sharks have any special requirements such as uv sterilizers or anything I should know about? I have read they are sensitive to high levels of nitrates...

i am planning to add a volitan to my tank very soon. i was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is anything special i should know about them as far as water temperatures ,nitrate sensitivity, etc. my tank is occupied by triggers and eels and tends to be a little high in the nitrate area...

I have a 150 gal with a snowflake, black edged moray, picasso, bursa, and an undulated. The undulated has been in there for about a year now and he is starting to show signs of aggression . I am going to move him into his own tank but I would like to add a fish to replace him and was thinking...

I have a 150 gal which is home to 3 triggers : picasso, bursa, and a young undulated (he will someday get his own place). The tank is also home to a pair of eels who pretty much keep to themselves. The one eel is a black edged moray whom I am told might get pretty large and aggressive, but I...

Is it true that popeye is caused by air bubbles in water? I read that here and was curious because my power head creates quite a stir of bubbles and this is a concern.

I know my nitrates are high, not sure on the phosphates. I have a decent amount of live rock in there. Should I do yet another water change?

filter has been changed a few days ago. lots of carnivores----3 triggers, 2 eels 1 wrasse in a 150 gal.

My tank has a green tint to it. I have some pretty high nitrate readings but salinity is good. I have had a water change and have just installed a new power head to get some better circulation. Any clues as to what this is from?

I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you there about the "like color" thing. I have actually had a huma huma and a bursa together for a very long time and they seem to pal around more than anything. My advice if you do decide to add another trigger and you don't want the old one to get him...

Is it okay to hook my power head up to a small air pump to get a strong blast of air flow in my tank? It seems to blow with alot more force that way I was just wondering if this is alright.I am not really very experienced and don't know much about power heads. I bought an AquaClear and there...

I think alot of us get real excited at the thought of keeping a shark and think "oh, I'll start him out in a 240 and upgrade in a few years when he gets bigger" but then you think about it and realize that when he gets that big, how in the heck can you move this thing without investing an...

yeah,and my nitrates were off the charts! It is also getting alot of bright spring sunshine.I did another water change of about 30% today and it looks alot better right now but I bet that wont last long.

This might ease your mind: I had a 150 gallon tall type tank on the second floor of our old apartment that was, beleive it or not, carried down a flight of 18 steps by 2 men (I hired movers because we were too afraid to chance it ourselves!)I know the tank weighed a couple hundred pounds and...

My 150 gal tank has burst into a cloudy,algae sort of state recently. I have done 2 water changes of maybe 10% each and it comes right back. I have been careful not to overfeed. My tank gets alot of natural sunlight exposure from the nearby room. I had a similar situation last fall and it...
