    lighting?

    I have been reading all about lighting and I know the best kind of lighting, but I cannot afford it. I currently have a 75g fish only tank with three 48 inch NO bulbs. 2 10k, 1 atintic. It is time for me to replace the bulbs. Would a pc 2 bulb system be better than what I have? I also found...

    Trigger???

    I have a medium huma trigger and a medium clown fish in my 75 gal. I haven't done much with the tank for the last year because I have been working on my reef tank. I pretty much clean and do my water changes. I decided to add another fish to the tank, but the trigger wont let me. He attacks...

    puffer eats zoas

    I had a lion in my reef tank for a while. He was on the smaller size. I have shrimp, snails, zoos, coral, etc. He didn't bother any of them. He didn't sting my larger fish. Thats not to say he wont. He did eat like crazy and grew fast. I was told he would eat anything that he could get in...

    75 gal aggressive tank

    I would add a dog face puffer to the list. I had one for about 5 years. He had a great personality and always swam around the tank. Be picky when you are looking. Many puffers at LPS are not all that heathy (at least in my area). Make sure they are some what active and not all curled up...

    White stringy algae?

    Thanks for this post. I posted pics a few months back wondering what these things were. I have never seen their body, just thier string arms. Are they harmful?

    Non attaching anemone

    Power compact lighting, the bigger tank has been up and running for about 4 years with fish only. The smaller tank is about a year old. I have other anemones in both tanks and they are doing great. It has a white foot and tan with pink tip tentacles. I do have a clown in each tank. I have...

    Non attaching anemone

    Someone gave me an anemone that they were tired of never attaching. They had it for about 4 months. He was going to throw it away and I couldn't let that happen. I put it in on my live rock and it fell off and laid on the bottom. I tried several times, then just left it on the bottom. It...

    Skimmer

    My prism always makes bubbles between 12-24 hours after it is started. You may need to turn it down (water flow). You dont want it to foam to fast. Just a little. Barley turn the adjuster. Between my brothers and I we have 5 of these (Got a deal). 3 are working great, two are not. They can...

    Slime on rock

    I now have this on my rock. I had a small rock slide and one of my anemones got smashed in between two rocks. He isnt doing great, but he is alive. I now have this on my rock. Is it from the anenome or is it some type of disease? I have attached two pictures. I known they are hard to see...

    Help, two fish dead in 24 hours!

    I agree with you about the LPS. I was also buying premixed salt water from them. After I did a water change last week I lost 3 fish within 24 hours. I went back to that fish store today and ran into two other people having similar problems. The only thing we had in common was that we all did...

    Theres a place on the other side of the Key Bridge called exotic aquatics. Their fish are sometimes a little exspensive, but they run 25% specials all the time. The also have some nice coral. The last time I was there they had a few frag tanks with 2 for and 3 for deals.

    have a 29g biocube and it's cloudy

    My brother has a 29g biocube. He had a similar problem due to the current from the filter. The aronate (however you spell it) was constantly being blow around. Once he added a good bit of live rock it stopped. I agree about adding more carbon as well.

    Help, two fish dead in 24 hours!

    Whats a troll? First of all my lps did sell me all the fish. They even sold me the tank, water, and everything else in it. The only fish that maybe should not be in there would be the Lion, but he was to small to go into my big tank yet. The mandrin was eating shrimp for more than a month...

    Help, two fish dead in 24 hours!

    The mand. didn't make it, but didnt have any spots on him. I was told to keep the salinity lower. Especially in a smaller tank. I was told this by both stores where I get my fish. The lion was so small and ate frozen food. He didnt make any mess at all. He was smaller than my chromis. I...

    Help, two fish dead in 24 hours!

    Water- Amon- 0 Nitrate- 10pp Ph 8.1 Salinity 1.020 Tested at least weekly, sometimes twice a week. I think the lack of copepods did the mandarin and blenny in. I saw them eat mysis shrimp, but I dont think it was enough. The Lion was very small. He was the smallest one I have every seen. I...

    The mandarin was eating shrimp. The levels have always been at zero, so how is it too many fish?
