    Shrimp Dilemma

    I have a 30G setup with a cleaning crew, which also included a coral banded shrimp. After having the tank established for over 8 months I noticed that my shrimp has an appetite for my blue hermit crabs.

    Protein Skimmer vs filters.

    I have a typhoon hang on skimmer on my 30 gal. tank. The skimmer works great, but the only problem is that some bubbles gets blown out into the tank. Im not sure if this is a good thing. All I know is that it does not make my tank as clear as it should. Ive tried just about everything to prevent...

    Skimmer Question

    I've been cycling my tank for about 3 weeks. When I finally setup my lighting, I notice that my skimmer is releasing fine bubbles through the discharge tube. I have a typhoon hang on skimmer. Is it normal for it to do that? Would it bother the fishes later on?

    Need good lighting

    I have a 30g tank 36" long with a wooden canapy. I was thinking about getting one of those retrofit kits that would fit within the canapy. I would like to use the sun bulb and the moon light bulb (day and night bulbs). Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I have a 30g tank with all my parameters at normal levels. I put a zebra damsel and a blue damsel over the weekend. They seem to be doing great for the weekend.

    Getting started

    Should I get the RO ASAP before I can start curing any LR? I figured I can hold off on it until I get any fishes.
