. Can anyone explain this?

Thanks for the info, altho not needed now. The fish arrived dead as a door nail, froze apparently. But I put that 55 gal HOB on the 10 gal tank and a few bio balls in it. maybe thatll work. Thanks man for the help and info tho. This site is awesome for quick information about saltwater fish...

its a 30 gal trickle filter. the other 3 fish are doing great. so what about nitrifying bacteria in the new filter tho? it doesnt have time to build

I have 3 fish in the DT now along with live rock and sand. the HOB is only rated at 10 to 20 gal but I do have a 55 just not up and running. No Inverts Makes sense tho.. so what do I do?

I have a 75 gal fowler and a 10 gal quarantine. 2 months ago i lost my butterflies to a infection of some sort, white patches. I researched what it was but have forgotten. anyway I have 4 fish arriving today and I need to know whether to quarantine or not. I did however quarantine the...

yes i thought he might he be doing that also. because he grazes alot. and during feedings he is picking at the rocks while the other fish are like lions eating everything

I introduced a small raccoon butterfly, a small flame angel, and a medium sized henochious butterfly on Thursday of last week. It has been 4-5 days and my raccoon has only nipped at the froze food one time. The others are doin great. He doesnt really act like he feels bad but just not eating my...

I'm wondering about having this in my fowler tank. Probably help with nitrates and amonia, but what about planting it in the sand? how deep should the sand be and what about lighting? If what I have will work I want some

Thank you much. I had wondered about that being a potential problem. I do have the HOB that is on my 40gal now, it prob will work but this is a good alternative to having to use that

Got ya. All of that makes sense. Thank you Mr. Limpid for your info. I do have a 10 gal tank setup for QT, not sure that is big enough but has been cycled.

I'm sorry I think I confused you. I do understand the importance of a QT especially if I have a display tank with other healthy fish. my 75 gal has no fish in it and is going to be my DT. The 40 that is right beside it has the two healthy fish in it now, but since they are a little more...

well here is my thing with the QT, I have the 40 gal with 2 fish and live rock. the 75 is right beside it with live rock. my thoughts are get the new fish put in say the butterfly and anthias in the 75 while the flame and chromis go into the 40. so that the more timid fish get established first...

thanks for the infor guys. I didnt drill because the glass shop was going to charge more than i wanted to spend and to much of a risk. Its up and running, looking good

well i guess this tank is considered new, it was tore down and moved for a few days had no water in it but was a lfs display tank. so the bio balls are/were covered in good bio. It has cycled in about 2 weeks. so do I still need to wait on the butterflys?

Amonia and nitrites are at 0ppm. I now have to switch my live rock from my 40 and get more fish. Is 10 fish added at the same time to much for a 75 gal? here is the list, Longfin butterfly Raccoon butterfly 3 Lyretail anthias Flame angel blue reef chromis I already have a small foxface and a...

ok changed my mind on stocking my tank. What does everyone think about this? Longfin butterfly Raccoon butterfly Flame angel Blue reef chromis 3 lyretail anthias along with my foxface and blue spot puffer

after my tank cycles, since i have the puffer and foxface in my 40 gal, would it be best to add other fish to the 75 first or go ahead with those two then add new fish? since the puffer is more aggressive. Also either a bursa or picasso trigger Carberryi Anthia coral hogfish flame angel yellow...

Look i read other threads and I just want an answer to my specific question. My first tank i had for 3 years always has had problems with nitrates so, since I have set up my new 75 gal I: added a raw shrimp Sunday August 28 and since then Amonia has spiked and leveled off, took the shrimp out...

I've posted a few times about this tank. Its a used 75 gal oceanic tank i bought used from a LFS in baton rouge that was downsizing. running through the first cycle now, of course all the filter is used also and has mass amounts of biological filtration built up on the bio balls. The filter was...

and what about a cover for the drain tube? over flow box? its an eye sore as it stands in the corner
