Hi I used to keep oranda goldfish and now have the marines but I was told to fed the orandas peas. Then when I talked to an expert he said NO the skins of the peas were most definitely harmful to the fish. Maybe if you can skin them first but I would reconsider and I would never give them to...

Hi I have the same problem I have a newly cycled 135 and seem to be getting alot of brown algae I have to wipe it down daily and the water has a brown tinge to it. I have already put copper in my FO tank as I was told to do by the LFS so inverts are out what else can be done. I have 5 damsels...

Hi I cleaned it and all is very good. Its a tank type under the tank in the cabinet its quite large. I just removed all the media and lightly cleaned it (using the tank water in a bucket as someone told me to do) and then vacuumed all the debris out of the bottom and all is very well. Thanks...

THANKS FOR THE ADVISE ON THE TANGS COULD YOU RECOMMEND WHICH ARE THE HARDIEST AND MOST PEACEFUL. MY TANK IS A 135 FO WET/DRY FILTER. I AM EXCITED ABOUT GETTING A TANG OR TWO. I WAS HOPING FOR A SAILFIN AND A YELLOW IF I CAN. ANY ADVISE (EXCEPT FLUSHING) WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU IN...

A couple of the comments on wet/dry filters have said the wet/drys are trate farms and you need to clean your wet/dry filter. This tank was ciclids for 3 years before I decided to try the saltwater. I was told not to ever clean my wet/dry and I haven't as of yet. How do I go about cleaning...

I just read that we are able to make our own protein skimmers can you tell me where to get the info to make one? Also been reading your messages and you say to clean a wet dry filter so you don't have a trate farm. I am just cycling a 135 gal FO with a wet/dry but I just changed from ciclids...
