I always heard copodes were a good sign in a tank.....

I am looking for flat worm eating fish. I want to avoide the 6 or 4 line wrasse as I have a firefish, clown and yellow watchman in the tank and worry about them being harassed since its a 30 gallon tank. Any suggestions for warsse or other fish that are more friendly in nature that will not...

I have 45 lbs in my BioCube 29.

I have a BC29 with stock lighting. Upgraded the pump to a RIO6hf. I have some polyps and zoanthids successfully surviving and growing in my tank. I want to add some new types of corals. I was looking for suggestions on some corals that will work with the stock lighting. Specifically I wanted...

I added two new fish. I noticed it after that... and I wonder if I was over feeding. One fish was not eating, so I was feeding more than normal. So I have cut back on it, so lets hope its dying. I will pull it off during my water change tomorrow and hope for the best then.

I have this algae that has recently showed up. Can anyone identify it and let me know possible ways to remove or deal with it. Thanks!

So I have read alot about torch corals and how they can be aggressive. That you should leave space between it and other corals. I have two questions based on that. 1. Will a torch coral be aggressive to zoanthids? 2. How do you determine the safe distance? If mine is about 1 inch in size how...

I have heard the same about a sand sifting fish, that my tank is too small. So I was staying away from that as an option for now, but figured i may try it if nothing else worked. I think the tank is still "new" but it seems like others report things as being good well before the age of my tank...

I got a BioCube 29 for christmas and my tank has been up since Jan 1. Every time I check my levels they are all perfect (ammonia 0, nitrites 0, nitrates 0, ph 8.2, etc). I have stock lighting running. I also upgraded the pump to a Rio6HF and added a Hydor Koralia for more flow. I am running...

Thanks. It helps to get an idea. I will have to find a 90 degree elbow that fits and then zip tie as you say. I already had that when i reached my hand in with the default pump, knocked it and got a face full of water.

So I bought a Rio6HF based on recommendations from this forum and others by people with a BioCube29. However, when I opened it up I quickly realized the plumbing in the tank does not allow me to use it out of the box. So my question is whats the best way to setup the new pump. Should I 1. Buy...

I have 3 nass, 5 ceriths, 5 trochus, and 2 turbos. 1 blue leg, 1 zebra, and 2 red reef crabs. As far as stocking too quick, I did not stock the fish or shrimp untill 3 weeks after the cycle completed (due to high nitrates). I did a water changes, and once the nitrates were low enough then i...

Ammonia: 0 Nitrites: 0 Nitrates: 5 Phosphates: 0 Salinity: 1.025 I run stock lighting from 10am to 8 pm. I create my own RO/DI water. I test it with a TDS meter and it reads zero. There is some ambient outside light, but nothing direct. I do water changes weekly of about 5 gallons. Live stock...

I have a 29 gallon. Right now I am running a cuc of 3 crabs and about 12 snails. I plan on getting another 3 or so this weekend. So maybe a bigger cuc is the issue. I also wondered about a blenny or some sand sifting fish.

I have a new tank (2 months now) and my glass and sand look bad about every three days or so. I clean my glass with a mag float. But how do you keep your sand looking clean? I have a diatom like and green algae growth that gets bad during the day, reduces at night, and over the week gets...

I am doing a 5 gallon change as well every week. I mix my own RO/DI water and salt in a 5 gallon bucket with a powerhead. My tank is new (only 1 fish and a cuc) but I amfinding it keeps everything at appropriate levels.

What type of cuc would you recommend? Just crabs eat algae or should I get some more snaiils....

I'm new to the hobby... and I read about coraline algae and how its good. I think I have some of that, and some bad algae. I included three pictures to show what I have growing in my tank. I think most of the green on the white areas is color coming back to coraline algae. Its very smooth...

So I am buying my first fish after work today... so so so excited. I have been researching its diet and this is what I have found. Feeds on zooplankton, provide a varied diet that includes frozen preparations for carnivores Along with algae and zooplankton growing in the tank, the diet of the...

Mine is twenty12 because a lot of places do not accept 2012. Its the year. I used to digg the study of Eschatology (end times). Well long story short is that the end of the world is 12/21/2012 according to a lot of sources. It started as a joke, but friends would send me anything with that...
