    Bad News. Need Advise

    I have had my 125 gallon aquarium for just over 2 years now, and everything has been going great. The take has 120 lbs of live sand, and has some live coral. I just got the news though, that I am going to have to move, and I will not be able to take the aquarium with me. I was wondering if...

    Larger Fish

    You said that you have tank covered with a net, and you have a problem with fish jumping out? Why don't you just buy a cover?

    Agressive Yellow Tang

    Print out a picture of a tang, and tape it against the tank. That should work for a little bit. But that many tangs in one tank, is pretty difficult to do anyway.

    Agressive Yellow Tang

    Im sorry, I guess I am a little confused. Are you just adding the yellow tang in your tank and he is already aggressive? Or is he being aggressive to new members of your tank?

    questions with feeding

    I have heard that you aren't suppose to leave any food in your tank for longer than a couple of hours. I put about a quarter of a piece in my tank and it is probably gone within a minute or less. A hungry fish is a happy fish.

    Your tanks look amazing. What size tank is the other one?

    Thinking about starting a 30 gallon Reef.

    I have had my 125 gallon tank for almost a year and a half now. It only has fish in the tank with pieces of fake coral. I think it is time for me to step it up and start a small reef tank. I know little to nothing about coral, I just know stuff about a fish only tank. What other parameters...

    Brackish water to Salt Water.

    I have a friend who has a 10 gallon Brackish water tank with a spotted green puffer. He told me that he wanted to make it a salt water tank. He wanted to put a small goby in it. I really didn't know how much to change the salinity in his tank. How slow should he add more salt? How much salt...

    Sohal Tang Troubles

    The spot has gotten a little bigger on him. Nothing has changed on his eating habits, water parameters, and swimming habits. Is this still what you think it is?
