    Nick's 75g Tank (My First one)

    I've got two more additions to the family. I bought a pair of tank raised percs. They are both juveniles still. I have been debating on what type of clowns to get and when I would add them to the tank. A store in the states which is actually closer to me then the closest Canadian store had a...

    I have been running my skimmer too wet and had a mishap yesterday.. it overflowed onto the floor.. now I am running it drier.. unfortunate trial and error.. will running it wet make it less efficient at pulling out *crap* in the water? I have purchased a digital Milwaukee PH meter, a HM TDS...

    I had my water tested by Lab Aquatics. Here are my results: http://www.labaquatics.com/water-tes...ts-LA1290.aspx definately an eye opener that I need to improve my water keeping abilities!

    There are always lot's of Pods on the glass in the morning.. I haven't been scraping the back glass so that the pods will have a place to pick at. The mandarin seems to have noticed as I always see him picking at the back glass. I have not set up a separate fuge for pods yet but I do have some...

    Nick's 75g Tank (My First one)

    I looked at my tank in the dark and was amazed to see all the bugs crawling everywhere when the flash light hit the rock. I have added my mandarin to the tank and he immediately started pigging out! The serpent star also has come home, along with the rest of my live rock. I have added my Berghia...

    Amphipods, copopods, isopods

    duhwun, read this article.. http://wetwebmedia.com/ca/volume_5/v...2/copepods.htm I have had a mandarin for 6 months now and I am preparing to move him from a 30g to a 90g. The key is to ensure there aren't too many other fish competing for pods.. If you take a flashlight to the tank at night...

    Berghia Nudibranch Question – 10/08/08 Hello, <Hi Nick.> I have been searching the web for days trying to determine whether or not Berghia nudibranch will be toxic to my tank if/ when they die off. I have some Aiptasia which came in on some live rock I recently purchased. I'd say there is less...

    Yellow Tang is very aggressive

    I wanted to get a Powder Brown Tang and a Yellow tang and I have a 90 gallon tank. If I introduce them at the same time would this be a problem? Would a Powder Brown and a Blue Hippo Tang be a better mix (both seem less aggressive) Thanks for the advice!

    My first fish !! (are sick)

    I hate to make dumb comments on public forums, but is it possible that the "spots" were small air bubbles attached to the fish from when you first put them into the tank? When I first put my maroon clown into his temporary holding tank he had small bubbles attached to him which appeared like...

Any input would be greatly appreciated.. I have a 90 gallon tank that I would like to eventually make a reef tank. The skimmer will...
