So.... i'm in bed, falling asleep... i figured, i better shut off my skimmer (i always do before i go to sleep)... i go to my tank, flip the switch, and return to bed... about 5 minutes later i hear this...."noise" (you know, the sound of water dripping hastily on a carpet)... i knew immediately...

So i went out of town for 2 days, i come home to see my light timer is broken (and i checked it, and tested that it was working minutes before leaving), and the lights had STAYED ON for 2 days straight. to make things worse, my AC had been turned off (by my wife ;p thanks) and my house was...

So long story short... i bought a RG online, and it ended up DOA. I bought a different fish that also wound up DOA, and later on, ended up being sent a replacement RG that, again was DOA. talk about bad luck... anyways, i go to the local fish store, and pick up an RG (reluctantly, because...

So.... i made a thread about my water being filled with particles...and today i looked on the glass (didn't notice before) but the particles...are moving... they're like... a thousand. a thousand little white bugs. let me get a picture ok done. so how many of these copepods are too many...

So all my params are good, life in the tank is happy as well... not sure what it is, but there are lots of particles in the water. the water is still very clear, not cloudy... these are thicker particles. kind of like sand.... i took some pictures and you can't notice it.. maybe i'm just being...

My firefish, follows my 2 false clowns around. it's so funny, because he copies what they do... be it hovering above the sand on the bottom, of swimming circles around the tank... i'm glad, and think i'm pretty lucky to have a fish as beautiful as this dartfish (being known for shyness) run...

Hi! I started my cycle around 15 days, ago... i spiked my ammonia up to 4ppm, and after around 2 or 3 days, i had nitrites show up... they have been sitting up to (but never over) 2ppm. so they never really spiked. they just went up to 2, and stopped. anyways, they stayed at 2 or so for the...

So i', a whole whopping 4 or 5 days into the cycle process....and i'm already showing nitrates...and i'm confused because i am showing all 3 parameters current reading is... ammonia 4ppm nitrites 2ppm nitrates 10 (it actually might be 20, as the color was orangish, but it definitely wasn't...

So 3-6 weeks from now, i'll be able to stock my tank, so thinking ahead, i sort of comprised a list of fish that i love, and would like to have. i was wondering if this list looks all compatible together. also if anyone has experience with some of these, and can tell me any reasons to avoid...

Hi! Flower has been helping me with some good advice on setting up my small (55gal) reef tank...i just got all the live rock i want (i think) in it, about 60lbs total (30base, 30 lbs live) and anyways, i was wondering if i could get more advice from everyone on aquascaping? i tried to make as...

Hi all! I had a pretty successful tank several years ago, which eventually crashed...anyways, i took it all apart and put the stuff in a tote (including about 60lbs of live rock, which is now 100% dried out...and dusty) anyways. i cleaned all the mechanical parts with fresh water (coralife...
