Wife and I are going on a weeks vacation in July. We have 2 tanks. A 75 and 90. Both are FOWLR. We don't have anyone lined up to feed our fish, so we have been looking at some feeders that use freeze dried food...etc. We're wondering if anyone has any experience with these and can make any...

I Need some expert TANK advice pretty quick... I'll try to summarize. I bought this complete 90 reef ready tank from a friend. While transporting it home, I must have cracked the bottom plastic frame. (wife noticed it and didn't tell me... ) A few weeks later I discover the frame has shattered...

OK, I just moved my tank upstairs out of the "day light" living room into my almost pitch black Den. 100% water change (100% RODI). Brand New light (110watt T5's). Completely cleaned all the hardware. ...and after 10 days, tank looks like this. I had the most awful green hair/slime algea...

The power went out last night around 11pm (10 hours ago). When I left for work I saw them replacing a power pole that went down in the storm…. Looks like they have 5 or 6 hours to go. Question is, how long will fishies be okay in tank? Tanks #1) 75 gallon – 2 chomis, 2 clowns, 1 yellow tank...

About a month ago... I was having MASSIVE algea problems... Diatoms and Green hair. Since then, I added a Protien skimmer and I run a bag of Phosguard in my Fluval. My tank is sparkly clean now. BUT... one thing I did do was give my Cleanup crew a HUGE boost. It wqas recommended by one web...

:help: I have 2 tanks (75 and 56) both having a SeaClone 100 hang on skimmer. I've had them for about 3 to 4 weeks and can't seem to get them adjusted where they don't create so much air in the output. The main thing to adjust is to get the bubbles to bring the gook up into the cup, which I...

OK, here is the deal. About a month ago we added a coral beauty dwarf angel to our tank. Tank is 75G. Fish list besides CB is 2 perc's, 3 blue/green chromis, and 1 yellow tang. And 75lbs LR. Well, the yellow tang has terrorised the poor angel fish ever since we have had her. She hasn't been...

OK, I am desperate now. I have been fighting this stuff for about 2 months. WHAT IS THIS STUFF??? A fellow aquariest at work said I had Cynobacteria (spelling?). He said it was red slime algea (he didn't see my tank, I just told him what it looked like). He recommended I get this stuff...

I don't know, but I didn't find any of them "Entertaining" at all.... well, maybe the ones for the head hunter company. There was ONE bud light commercial that was "OK" <driving down the road with girlfriend, you see a guy with a pack of Bud Light... and an Axe>"Cool, he's got Bud Light!" <girl...

I can get a nice 4x54w T5 I'd like to put on my 75G. Is this about the same light output as the 4x65 PC setup? I want to put a BTA in my tank for my clowns. No, I'm not considering any other lighting setup. My budget is between 200-300. I've searched a lot, but did not find any comparisons on...

I swear... I was feeding my fish just the other day some mixture of frozen stuff when I watched a small piece floating to the bottom. When it landed, it jumped to it's feet! It was a tiny little shrimp looking thing. Probably krill. I could see it's parts moving as it sat there curled up... and...

I have a 75 gal tank that's about 4 months running. I have a homemade hood on it with 4- 6500k 25 watt compact flourescents (The screw in spiral kind). My tank is FOWLR and it lights it up nicely we think. However, I have a very bad algae problem that I can't seem to tackle. I don't think it's...

I have a yellow tang I've had about 3 weeks now. The first week I had him, he was totally chilled out. The last couple of weeks he's been acting really funny. At first I didn't know what it was, but then I figured out it was his own reflection in the glass he was freaking out over. Not sure...

I just got my other test kits in... (Alk, Calc, Phos) Calc tested 340 Phos tested .1 But Alk tested 11. Says it should be between 4-6 Another test kit test for cabonate hardness (same thing I think) and it was 180. Said it should be between 105-125. When I added my live rock to the tank last...

Tank has been up for about 3 months. 75 gal 3" live sand 75lbs live rock I just added the bulk of the LR Saturday, have been curing it in garage for a few weeks. Have 2 clowns that have been doing GREAT for about 5 weeks. Had 2 blue damsels I got rid of Saturday Added Lawn mower blenny Saturday...

OK, most all know I'm new to this, and I just set my tank up. Been about 2 months. Up until now, it's only been some fake coral and LS and a few fish. We just put a piece of LR in a couple of weeks ago and need to know what some of the stuff on it is. 1) There's some kind of anemone looking...

Well... OK. It's dead Coral. But I wanted to show it. It's something I got while Diving about 20 years ago. Yes, it was 95% dead when I found it. It was in a sand bed in about 40 feet of water on Okinawa. I saw it and was like "WOW!" I stuck my hands in the sand and lifted it.. and it...

We got a couple baby clown fish 5 days ago. They don't seem to sleep like fish normally do. They just swim along the top of the tank all night long. Is this normal for clowns? During the day they are very active and eat well. I thought most all fishes found them a little hiding spot and slept...
