the right eye of my spiney boxfish is looking milkey to solid white. He has not been around any sharp rock, and is the only fish in the tank. Anyone know what this could be caused by and how to treat it?

I painted the back of my tank with an acrylic paint, and then got my tank drilled for overflows. I want the overflows to match the back color, but do not know if the acrylic paint will be toxic to the fish once it dries. Anyone here done this before?

1 have a two-week-old 75 with 45 lbs of base rock and 7 hermits from another tank (three scarlets, four blue legs) anyway, I am using my pc's and I guess the hermits have introduced some coraline because i have tons tiny spots of the base rock covered with purple and bright green. My question...

Hey, which are better to have in a reef, blue leg or scarlet hermets and why? Thanks, Lancer

types of clowns can be kept togather in a 75? I don't have intentions of breeding them. I have heard certain clowns do not have a problem sharing a home with other clowns. I want a clown only tank if at all possiable, focusing mainly on not so common clowns. Thanks, Lancer

I am putting a refugium under my reef and was wondering what type of water pump or powerhead they use that is powerful enough to pump the water vertically about five meters but not flow more than four-hundred LPH. I have seen the Eheim Hobby Pump 1048 and was wondering if anyone had information...

Okay itis time to buy my lighting for my 46 bow. I have decided to go with VHO because of the fact that the tank has that center brace and two MH would be very hot. I have PC but in watts per gallon VHO is more space efficent. Would a three bulb (95w each) be plenty or should go with the four...

Does spray painting the outside of your aquarium effect your tank at all? I have heard not to use any cleaning products or air fresheners arond my aquariums. Is this true? I have spray painted most of my tanks and it is well worth the look (the 46 bow was a pain in the ass to do!) What...

Which type of water should I use if it is store bought? Spring, drinking or something else? Sorry if you saw this question before, I thought I had asked this last night, but I can't find it now! Thanks, Lancer :confused:

i know that feeding goldfish to lionfish is bad for their health because of their fat content, but i know that guppies can be converted to saltwater but does that change the health benefits?

Today at my lfs I saw a pair of almost chrome looking fish. They were not labeled and the only employee there had no clue what they were. These large (7") fish were almost disc shaped and had large foreheads. I think I have seen these at Shedd Aquarium, but can't remember a thing about them...

I have a 150 with a Tahitian moon sand bed that looks cool. I want to make this just a tang/angel tank ( not a reef ). Will the phosphate from the sand be a major concern if I am not placing corals in there? Also which order do I place in the fish tangs first? Will a wet/dry work fine or is...

Is a metal halide pendant any better than a strip. The look dosn't bother me and I am guessing that you don't have as much heat since the ballast is not anywhere the tank. Also, how high above the water do you place the lights, and should I leave the surface exposed or keep glass (or a sheet of...

I have an empty 150 which has the demensions 48L x 24W x 30H. My question is about lighting. I corrently have jbj w/220 total watts. I am wiling to spend the money on MH but do not know what wattage or type (10,000k or 20,000k). I do know that i would prefer using the pendant style. thanks, Lancer
