By the way, it's hanging on the back, not in a sump. So I recently acquired a coralife super skimmer rated for 65g, and assembled it by following the directions. I don't see an error. It's been roughly a week, and it should have broken in by now, but it's still not skimming. It's just water, no...

Hey, my zoanthis have some white dots on them, and I think it's zoa pox. I read that an iodine dip can be an effective treatment. I have a bottle of kent marine iodine supplement. Could I get some instructions on how to use it to treat zoa pox? Information online doesn't seem very clear. I'm...

I bought a sponge filter for my quarantine tank, and I threw it into the 55g display tank to seed it. How do I know when the sponge filter has seeded enough?

I need a new impeller for my rio skimmer. I found a site that has them, but I have no idea which size impeller I'm supposed to choose. I tried researching, but I couldn't find an answer. Can somebody please help me figure out which one of these rio impellers works for a rio nano skimmer? Heres...

I recently lost a heniochus butterfly, due to my failure to quarantine the specimin. I think the heniochus has a certain elegant/fancy look to it, one that really makes an aquarium look like "oooh, saltwater." I'd like to achieve that again. However, I'm not entirely sure that I'd want another...

I’ve had a Lemonpeel angel in my 55g fowlr for quite a while now. I recently introduced a small Tomato Clown, but the Lemonpeel immediately started chasing it around the tank. To prevent further stress, I put in a divider. However, I do not like the look of the divider, so I’m wondering….if I...

For those of you who have experience with the Rio nano skimmer... There's this white stick that goes into the needle wheel impeller. I'm not sure what this is called, but it's visible in this diagram. Anyway, mine is broken, and for the skimmer to work, I need to replace it or find something...

The title pretty much says it all. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure he won't make it, but I was wondering if there is anything I can do for the frogfish. I've quarantined him and treated him with a little copper medication, but that's it. Is this usually pretty effective? Is there anything...

Hello, I was wanting to buy a sea urchin for my tank. My ph is 8.2, my SG is 1.030, my nirtites are 0, and my ammonia is 0, but my nitrates are 20. Do you think an urchin would do well in my tank? Thanks, Tigerbarb

Hello. When I tested my 55g for copper, and waited a good 30 minutes for the color of the test tube to develop, the water in the test tube stayed clear. I've tested the water twice. What do you think this means? Could it simply mean that there is no copper in my tank? Thanks, Tigerbarb

I was wondering, could a foxface go in a 55g tank? Thanks Tigerbarb

Lol, I have officially reached the 100 posts mark!

Hello. I've been looking everywhere on the net for a site that sells N-a-k-e-d clown fish, and still, no luck. Do any of you know of any sites that have them? Thanks, Tigerbarb

I was wondering, how fast would it take for a juvenile yellow tang to grow another inch? Or do you know? Thanks, Tigerbarb

Hello. I was wondering, what size tank would you reccommend for a yellow tang? I was sort of wanting a yellow tang for my 55g. I do know that a while back, it was considered acceptable to keep a yellow tang in a 50g aquarium, and yellow tangs would live a good long while in captivity. Now...

Have any of you here used Kent's regenerable toxic metal sponge? I'm using it to remove some of the copper sulfate from my tank. I followed the directions on the bottle, and I've had it in a polyester bag in my tank for about 24 hours, and the beads haven't changed color like they're supposed...

Does anyone here own a Scott's Fairy Wrasse? I was thinking about getting one, and I'd like to see some pictures of them in peoples' tanks. It'd also be great if you could give me some advice on keeping these fish. Thanks, Tigerbarb

Hello. I think there is a chance that I started a thread asking a similar question a while ago, but if so, it is nowhere to be found in the search results. I need to upgrade my tank, and I since the tank & equipment I will be using(powerhead, and two HOB filters) have been in with copper...

I had some live rock in a quarantine tank, and the fish I was quarantining caught velvet in the tank. What do I do to the live rock to make it safe to be in a tank again?
