Lots of algae comes from high nitrates and the algae brings the nitrates down. More water changes will probably help.

10% every Saturday. It depends on the bio load. Size, number and types of fish. Let Nitrate readings be your guide.

Coral Beauties are very hardy fish, especially for angels. I have one myself. I never use the drip method for hearty fish as I think it is too slow and too streesfull for the fish. The opaque bucket, shallow water, and too many big changes in lighting. I float the closed bag for about 20...

Ammonia levels always go low as nitrites rise. Nitrites follow ammonia going down. Partial water changes won't work by themselves as a 10 % change will only lower the levels by 10% and this method is a slow fix. If you are in a jam with levels, you might try a remover like Amquel+ or a...

many years ago I had a yellow tang in a 20 gal high aquarium for about 4 years. I gave him away and got out of the hobby for a long time. I currently have a hippo in a 29 and a naso in a 55. Thay are just as happy and healthy as can be. I do get kind of tired of hearing about the size issues on...

Mine is about 4" and in a 29, which is a little smallish. When I approach the tank, he swims figure 8's on the front glass. He loves pieces of frozen...

Naso Tang, almost a year. They say a tang needs 6 feet to swim. Mine has that, but has to turn twice, lol. I have a 55. My hippo is in a 29, but I'd never mention that here. Both are very happy and healthy.

Hi All, I have a Humu, Picasso Trigger about 3.5" living all by himself. He is kind of a messy eater and I also get a good bit of algae buildup, which he doesn't eat. I'm looking for ideas of any fish I could add to the tank that might help clean things up a bit in the bottom, and maybe eat a...
