It's easy go get yourself a bunch of tupperware pieces from you cabinet or hell the biggest cups or whatever you can find that holds water thats not metal, even use metal but put plastic bags in them. Then put everything in its own container, scoop out say 10% of the water in each, replace it...

Ok heres what I'd do, do a 20 Gallon Change everyday until the water levels are good then maybe 20 every week for a month then, go back to what your normally happy doing. I do about 10% a week.

A power head is basically a tube with a pump in it. It has a intake port usually with some sort of cover to keep fish out, and a blower port usually with a fan shaped nozzel or directional nozzel so you can point it where you want. Thats about it. AND theres good ones ans crappy ones, I...

Goto Tap Plastics or other local plastic stores, they usually have tiny precut thin pieces of plastic for like 25 cents. Just get a few where your rock will rest. But the Eggcrate works, the only downside is sometimes the fish try to dig down there and it gets in their way, I always worried...

um they might fight, and that tanks pretty small so I'd go with one of those and just keep a variety of other fish with them, remember you can't over stock so think of it as not loosing one but gaining room for another species I personally like the Scotts, 6line can be aggressive.

Jdecter, I'm getting weary of editing out the link to the same store in most of your posts... If you cannot follow the rules of the forums please discontinue posting. Links to competitor sites are not allowed. Please respect the owners of Saltwaterfish and obey the rules.

First of all what kind of clowns we talking, clowns usually host on something, be it an anemone just perfect for them, or even a frogspawn or leather coral or whatever is closest to their natural home that their insticts bring them too host on. But there are lists easily found on what is best...

Truth be told toss the bio balls go down to your LFS or hell buy some from TFO they are having a blow out sale on rock, but anyways buy some live rock rubble. What I mean is not the giant pretty chunks but the small tiny ones or just break up big ones. Put it where the Bio Balls were and your...

Ya Damsels should not be in a none aggressive tank. They are cute and bullet proof (but not noob proof ) and they are super super aggressive. They are like little army ants very small but can kill giant things.

First of all in a 3 month tank you shouldn't add anything else, you shouldn't have much of anything but live rock and some cleaning crew, plus the fish you already have. Don't add anything. You shouldn't even have a Gorgonian until well over a year has passed. I'd take it back and get credit...

I have one in the rock, but he was a hitchhiker I believe the like sand beds but hell put it near the rock on sand and he will find his happy place!

Ro/DI units on ---- are under 100.00 and will be all you need to do to your tap water to make it perfect for reefing, well that and add salt but I digress.

I hate to say this but you might not want to give advice until you've been in the hobby a LOT longer. You should test Ammonia, Nitrates, Nitrite, Calcium (once you get some frags for sure), Phosphates, and PH. You should test all these regularly, at least before each water change and maybe...

no problem email at will, I love to reef and see other reefs so I help anyway I can to get people started right mostly because I bought thoeusands of dollars of crap before someone helped me. By the way u don't even need a tank for a refuge you can use a bucket if so you need too, but I use a...

I guess I missed the "not nice" part, looks very helpful from here I am hopeing all the advice gets this guy on the right path and prevents any rushing burn out like we see far to often.

agreed with the above but you can't just have that and a powerhead sorry unless its a nano that u plan to do water changes on all the time. U'll need a sump with a protien skimmer or something. If you want help shopping let me know I can walk you through options jdecter@hotmail.com

get a bucket, or whatever the critter in it, and spend a few hours replacing like 1/4 of the water every 15min with tank water, then 1/2 the water every 15min. Many even do it with a steady drip useing a little air tube u can buy a valve for it to make it drip slow enough or tie a loose knot in...

Ok heres the deal, ---- the canister get some money back from it. Buy a refuge sump tank, with a protien skimmer, heater, if it comes with bio balls throw them out, and buy enough live rock rubble to replace them. Buy about a pound of live rock per gallon for the tank itself and if your gonna...

Well I didn't want to go into all that, I have 20 year vets who spend wakeless nights trying tricks to keep reef tanks without water changes, but they are now as informed as even the most qualified marine biologists or chemists. Sure fish can handle above 20ppm but it depends on the fish, the...
