    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...

    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

    I just purchased my sohal tang last week. All of my water perimeters are good, the only one that is a little off is my nitrites at 10. (not too high) But my tang has been doing great and is eating mysis shrimp, veggie pellets, and seaweed. He swims around the tank like nothing is wrong with...

    Interesting way to introduce a new Tang.

    I was introducing a new sohal tang to my display tank. I have a pretty aggressive purple tang also in the dt. I introduced the sohal tang and about every 30 seconds he was getting hit from my purple tangs tail. I knew this was not good for my new fish. I called up my lfs and asked what they...

    I finally found a Schooling fish!

    I have been looking around for a LONG time for a 'small' sized schooling fish to put in my tank. I think I am getting pretty close. I went to my LFS last week and I found the perfect match. They are called Blue Lined Snappers. My LFS has three of them, so I might give them a try. They said...

    Sponges.

    Since sponges take in uneaten food and oxygen in the tank, could they potentially lower the nitrite an nitrate levels in aquariums? And if I have a fish that is considered "not reef safe" does that also mean it will not be safe with a sponge?

    Same Problem and nothing is going right!

    Hey guys, I have a 125 gallon with only fish. The tank has been set up for probably over a year and a half now. It has been going very smoothly. Recently though, about a month or so (maybe a little longer), I have been running a nitrite level at 0.25. My nitrates were at 30, but I was able...

    Marbled Catshark Acting up

    I have had my shark well over a year now and he is probably about 18 inches long. Not too long ago, maybe like last week, some times when he swims he kind of twitches and continues on swimming again. Sometimes it is rare for him to do it but I saw him doing it twice this morning and was...

    Carbon or Purigen

    I went to one of my LFS and I was talking to one of the guys about the difference between a carbon filter and purigen. I have been running a carbon filter but I never really knew when to change it out, it was always a guessing game for me. He said if I use purigen you just replace it when it...

    Tap water to RO water problem.

    I have been using a tap water for a year now and I have had no problems keeping my nitrates and nitrites down. I just switched over to RO water last week just so I can try to make my fishes a little happier. I just checked my water levels and I got a little spike in nitrites and nitrates...

    Problems with getting Sohal Tang to Eat.

    I will have had this fish for about 2 weeks on Thursday. He is about 4.5 inches long and looked healthy at the store. He was just getting acclimated in their tanks when I got him, so they did have a chance to feed him yet. Probably should of waited. But I added him in my tank and I have a...

    QT Ready or Not?

    I set up my first QT a little over a week ago. I thought it was about time because I have been in this hobby for several years now. Now I wanna start to use the QT tank before I add any new fish into the main aquarium. I cut out a piece of my filter pad and put it in my QT's filter. I also...

    Tang hasn't eaten yet!

    I got a Sohal Tang over a week ago. He is about 5 inches long. I added him into my tank and my [hr] trigger "attacked" for a couple of days. I thought it was normal until I saw the sohal tang's rear fin starting to get eaten up with bits on it missing. The trigger fish has been leaving...
