Hello, I live on the west coast right next to the beach. The ocean here is usually around 60 degrees or so and I was wondering would it be possible to use actual ocean water for a saltwater tank? And maybe even sand and rock from the ocean? I used to have a saltwater tank but I sold almost...

Okay, I recently got a blue spotted puffer. And for some reason after about a week of having him, he started biting one of my filters that hang on the back of my tank. It makes quite a loud sound. I was just curious as to why he would do this. Is he trying to file his teeth or something? Or is...

Okay I got to do this quick cause this stuff is coming quick. Someone told me to take fish that have ich and do a freshwater dip, in water that is the same temperature as my tank water. For I think 5 minutes they said. Will this work? I need help QUICK.

I know I spelled plenty wrong there I was curious in all honesty how to tell when these things are healthy. I usually run a FOWLR, but since the additions of my clownfish I thought what the heck. It was only 11 dollars. So I figured what would be better than to see condi's from the experts...

Hi, I just bought a pair of false perculas from my local live fish store. They have never been in the same tank until now. I was wondering... How long does it take for them to establish dominance over one another? One is larger than the other if that even matters. They are both juvenilles. One...

I recently tried adding clams from the grocery store to my tank as suggested by quite a few other members. I thought it was pretty strange that they could come alive like that. But anyways. My crabs, bi-color angel, and mostly my starfish have interest in them. I'm curious though. Can my red...

I was curious as to what I could get with my current stock list of fish for my 37 gallon. I currently right now have 1 - small scooter blenny 3 - coral cat fish 1 - bi-color angel fish 1 - red general star fish and soon to be 2 green chromis I want something interesting. Knowing my tanks...

I have a 37 gallon tank. And I was wondering if I could possibly get an eel with my current set up. I currently have 1 - scooter blenny 3 - coral cat fish 1 - bi-color angel fish 1 - red general star fish and several green chromis I have tons of live rock. With quite a few hiding places for the...

Okay, I decided to trade in my small black volitan lionfish because I have been told he will get much too big for my 37 gallon. My local fish store said they will take him and I will get $1 store credit . Even though he costs $25 lol. Or they said I can trade him in and get any fish equal to $25...

Okay so yesterday we had a family gathering or whatever. One of the people there was my cousin. Who used to be a huge fan of SW before he didn't have the money for it. So yesterday he decided to buy me a small volitan lionfish for my 37 gallon. I have to say he knows how to pick a healthy fish...

Okay I bought 2 firefish about a week ago. They were perfectly healthy and happy. They ate like pigs, and everything. 2 days ago one disappeared and one was kind of hanging around one of my large rocks. When I got reaaalllly close to the tank he darted into a hole that is barely bigger than him...

Okay, I'm reallllly new to corals. I've had a FOWLR setup for who knows how long. I want a coral badly. Currently I want something basically indestructible, or close to it . My current livestock includes 1.Red general starfish (he is reefsafe according to previous owner who had him for 8 years...

I went to the fish store today, and under the recommendation of the fish store owner, after telling him what I had in my fish tank, he told me to get a pixy hawkfish. I asked if it would be compatible with everything and he said yes. When I got home I looked them up online to see if they needed...

I wanted to upgrade my 37 gallon to hopefully a 125 gallon, if not at least a 75 or 90 gallon. I was wondering how much people have spent buying a new tank to upgrade to one of those I mentioned or close to it. My plan was to buy a used tank in fair condition and hopefully cheap. Then salvage...

I've been restocking my 37 gallon lately since my last inhabitants (blue devil damsel, and a mated pair of tomatos) made me too afraid too add anything with the hyper agressive female tomato. So I took them back to the LFS and got a few green chromis (was short on cash only thing i can really...

Okay yesterday I bought a red general starfish from the LFS. The guy told me it would be fine for my 37 gallon fish only tank. This thing has been in another guy's aquarium before for 8 years, and was only known to eat one type of coral (that wasn't his diet though). My problem is, how do I feed...

I went to my LFS today and picked up a scooter blenny, the guy told me it ate copepods, then I looked on this website and it said micro fauna, also my scooter blenny matches matches the website picture? Which is right?

I currently have 4 filters that hang on the side of my tank for my 37 gallon fish only tank. They all pump 150-200 gallons per hour. My question is 600-800 GPH too much for my tank? Or is it actually beneficial? It seemed like the more filters I added the more active my fish were.

Hi, I've had a pair or tomato clownfish for about, 2 1/2 years. They were actually one of the first fish put in my tank. I noticed the dominant female though, is a dark color, not black, but kind of redish black. I was always confused at this since when I saw fully grown clowns in fish stores...

I want to return the fish I currently have (they just are not right for the tank with the aggresion levels) and restock with more peaceful fish. Since it is a small tank I think it would be better that way. I currently have 2 tomato clowns, and 1 blue devil damsel. The 2 clowns become a mated...
