Hi Everyone, its been awhile since I've been on the boards. I have recently added soft corals to my FOWLR set up, I have a few zoas and some button polyps all doing great. My mushrooms seem to be shrinking, they looked amazing for the first month they were in the tank. Here are my water params...

Help!! this is my 4th try at trying to raise clownfish larve, I've read numerous blogs and articles on what to do to raise them.. I catch the larvae with a glass bowl on hatch night and usually end up with 60+ larvae swimming in the larvae tank. i use water from the parent tank, the temp is...

I am planning on settiing up a 55 gallon tank within the next few weeks, are both pairs going to survive together...

it's been awhile since I've been on the forum. Just curious about this pump I have running my skimmer. I have an ASM G1 skimmer and a Sunday G500 pump running the skimmer. Thought it was my imagination, but everytime I would stick my fingers in the water I felt a shock. The skimmer pump is the...

Well, I finally got my 80 gallon tank. It's currently sitting on my counter and will soon be built into my wall. I'll post pictures soon. I have an Iwaki pump 510 GPH and got a quote from my LFS on a protein skimmer and sump-about $600.00 dollars for both-does that seem high?? I dont know the...

I bought a small boxfish about 3 weeks ago-he is the cutest fish with a personality-are these fish common and does anyone else own one??

Hi everyone, need a little advice. This is what happened-last week I changed out the CC in my 10 gallon DT tank and put in Aragonite sand-had a sand cloud for a few days, nitrates went up. but the fish are all fine. Yesterday my tank sprung a leak, luckily the leak was discovered before all of...

Just a quick question-this is the first time I've ever used sand in my tank. I set up a small tank yesterday with a very fine white sand I bought from a lfs. Filled the tank up with water, the sand cloud has gone away as of this morning, but I have small bubbles at the top of the water all...

I've read how to do this before on this forum, but I'm having a problem using the "quick" search link. Here's my question-I'm cycling a tank using some shrimp from my local grocery store-they are hanging in my tank inside of a mesh bag. It's been 24 hours, my ammonia is up-BUT my tanks stinks...

I have a lemonpeel angel fish-these are his symptoms: he has a cyst like growth on his mouth, its been there for almost 3 weeks, as of today there are red blood looking or raw spots around his mouth, it looks like these spots might be from rubbing his mouth on the rocks?? he eats fine and dosent...

I am ordering a tank off of a website and having it custom drilled.(It's acrylic). My question is I have an Ocean Clear canister filter and a water pump. Am I stuck with drilling the bottom of the tank? Or am I better off selling the filter and going with and overflow built in? I've always had...

Just out of curiosity-I've been surfing the web and came across acrylic aquariums that have a built in filtration unit on the back-no drilling ,no hang on the back filters. From what I've read the tank operates with a powerhead. Does anyone have an opinion on these types of tanks?? These...

is it ok to use the pvc cement on an intake and return tube in a Sw tank. It's a 10 gal FOWLR and I'm in the process of setting up a system to get more water flow. My power head is heating up my tank too much. I have a seperate small water pump that will be on the outside of the tank, with the...

I hope I'm posting this in the right section. I have a few questions on live rock. How do you "cure" it? can it be put into a tank right away and does it need special lighting or care??? I have a small FO tank right now and will eventually be setting up a larger tank. I have CC as a substrate...

This is my first post on this forum-this is my question, I've gotten a lot of mixed answers from my LFStores. I am going to return to the saltwater fish hobby after 8 years-I still have my Ocean Clear canister filter and Iwaki water pump, I used it on a 125 FO tank. I've been seeing a lot of...
