I'm taking two classes this term that deal with aquatic sciences. In one, we do bi-weekly species profiles on an aquacultured species. I just had a very similar assignment profiling an invasive aquatic species in the other class. Well, I could slightly modify this and turn it in for the other...

Well, my return pump seems to be leaking voltage into my tank. It is a rio 1700. I had a couple questions: 1. How much will this affect my fish/inverts (i dont do corals)? 2. Will a grounding probe help the problem? 3. Can I fix the pump? I was thinking maybe siliconing around the power chord...

How gay is this commercial, seriously? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWS0GVOQPs0 I don't know if this is a new commercial, but I just saw it for the first time. Is this really what people are concerned about these days? I hate political correctness.

So, I've always been under the impression that you could not have 3 clownfish in a tank because two would pair up and pick on the third one. However, I was recently told that you could do this with occellaris or percula clowns. I still don't see it working, but what do you guys think?

Well, I'm not a new hobbyist, but i figured this would be a good spot for this discussion. I have seen many people on this site talking about aging saltwater at least 24-48 hours. I would like to know why. I know that caustic agents are released and reactions occur when the salt is mixed. But...

Well, I finally got my pair of gols striped maroons that I've always wanted. They are in my 29 for now while I set up their 40 gallon breeder. I want to do a BTA for them to host in the 40. It is 16 inches deep and the anemone will sit high on live rock. I want to do T5 lighting. How many...

Okay, I'll try to give as much info as I can. I noticed this morning that my fuzzy dwarf lion and freckled hawk are breathing very fast. The lion is laying on the bottom of the tank and did not eat. I've had them both for about four months or longer. The tank is a 29 with these two fish, a...

I recently attempted to pair two maroon clowns. I bought a large one (~3") and a small one (~1") and added them to the tank at the same time. The large one harassed the small one for the first few days (which, from what I've read, is to be expected). She really didn't attack him that...

I recently set up a fish only tank that has live rock in it. I do not intend to keep any corals/inverts, however, I would like to get the coralline algae to grow on my live rock. What is the minimum lighting that I need to achieve this? My tank is a 29 gal. Also, what levels do I need my...

I am starting a fish only tank (all aggressive) and I am wondering what salt is best. When I had my tank before, I always used Oceanic because it was cheap and mixed well. However, I've been told that it is poor quality and has few trace elements. Thanks for any help.

This is probably a long shot, but I am interested in buying a blackfoot lionfish. I will buy from anywhere and pay the shipping. I also would be interested in a descent sized radiata or other lionfish if close to the Dallas area.
