Finally bought myself a big tank. Was going to get a 220, but never would have made it up the stairs. Can't wait for it to cycle, triggers and puffer will love it in there.

I just set up a nano reef, 12 gallons, and I was wondering what others use as far as wattage. They make a retrofit for my eclipse tank, but it's 32 watts. Is that enough?

I see a lot of people like their Prizm skimmers. I have a question for you. Will mine ever quit pouring bubbles into my tank? It skims great, but the bubbles drive me nuts. I've been told it can take a long time to break in, but it's been 14 days.

Ok, this may be obvious to those more experienced, but I never thought of this until now. If you see 0ammo, 0nitrites, and some nitrates, it does not mean your tank is cycled. The question is how high did the ammonia level get. If the ammonia level was low, then even though it looks cycled, when...

I put a puffer in about two weeks after my trigger. Thursday, my ammonia level went up to 1.0ppm. I got water ready and did a change friday. After the water change, ammonia dropped to... 1.0ppm. Took a sample to the LFS, reading is good. Nothing dead, even lifted up the rocks to make sure...

I had an idea.I want to get a big tank, but I have some medical problems that make dumping the 5gal buckets really hard. I can hardly do my 40. So, I was thinking of getting a 55gal container on wheels and using a pump to fill the tank. Would this harm the fish?

Ok, I learned from my first overstocking mistake. Now, I have a Trigger and a Dogface puffer. After adding the puffer, they got ich. The puffer is brown all day, but comes out and returns to normal color at night. I started my uv 48 hours b4 adding first fish, and ran it until I noticed ich...

What can I use as a clean up crew, as my trigger is eatingthe hermit crabs? Will he go after brittle starfish? Or do I need to vacuum a lot.

When I turn the flow just slightly on, it skims water, and I get tons of bubbles in the tank. I checked the website, and it has no info on this skimmer. If anyone out there could help me, I would be grateful.

Well, I didn't want a trigger at first. I wanted a couple of tangs, a flame angel, some others. But when I went to my LFS, he had a huma with suck great colors, I had to buy it. He took back my cleaner shrimp, and gave me full credit toward a dogface puffer. He said these two will get along...

I am having a problem with a 40 gallon tank I set up for salt water. It just won't cycle. The LFS gave me some bad advice, some crap about the Amqiul I used locking up the ammonia and it wasn't really there, and sold me some fish. You all know what happened. This tank has been up and running...
