So I have had a mated pair of clowns (Mocha, they were a cross breed from UMAINE) anywho, they were about 3" big and i have had them for almost 3 years. They have been no problem what so ever. So I came home today to acclimate a new fish and as it was dripping I looked down on the floor by the...

So I have had my tank for 2.5 years now. Since I am busy working full time and going back to school full time, my tank has taken a back seat. I finally found a great LFS that I love and i have been building my tank back up. As I was looking at other peoples pictures, I realized that I am lacking...

So I live right next to the ocean, and I notice at low tide there are thousands of snails. I was wondering if I could take some and put them in my tank. Would they survive......but here's the catch....I live in Maine, so the water is cooler up here, but late summer it gets very warm, and the...

So I just ordered my first T5 lighting!!! What would be good corals to start with? I want soft corals. I have a 55g and all my fish are reef safe :)

SO I just lost my second orange spotted sandsifter in two weeks! I had my first one for about 5 days and it jumped out in the middle of the night. Then I just got another yesterday and i found it on the floor this morning! My tank param's are in check - I test myself and my LFS tests. All my...

So I have had my tank running for a year and a half. I have had my battle with ich and other things. I got to thinking.....how is it that fish keepers hvave such trouble with things such as ich, when in the wild there is no copper, hypo, QT tank an such to take care of these fish yet they still...

okay so I have a 55g and had it for a few years - but now my mother saw at the LFS that I go to a little 1g - yes one gallon - tank with a few coral frags, small shrimp, emerald crab, and small (one inch) goby, so she had to have it. SO on that note, I have been helping her take care of it-...

So i was looking at this forum and I had no idea it existed! My 55g has been up and running for 1.5 years now and I have had my share of ups and downs, but that all behind me now, I was wondering that types of corals I can have without special lighting? I plan on upgrading my 55g to a 125 (maybe...

I got a Picasso Trigger on Sunday and he has already eatten my cleaner shrimp on monday and today he ate my Pink spotted watchman goby! He eats like a pig, so I feed him twice a day, and he still ate my fish! My LFS said (because it was hers for 4 years) that her daughter fed it 3 times a day...

So I asked a few days ago what type of lighting I should get to support corals in my 55g - and I was told by many to get the T5 Nova Extreme (48") however looking for that online turns out to be a little more difficult then I thought. I'm not sure what the wattage should be. I have seen them...

I have had my tank running for a over a year now. When i first started I stupidly suctioned out a lot of sand (I was used to cleaning a fresh water tank where you suction the rocks and such) and it has been a while now since i have done that, i have learned!, and I was wondering how I can go...

I have a 55g tank that has been running for a year now. I've got LR/LS and fish. However i want to have corals now. I want to start slow, but I'm confused on exactly what kind of lighting i should have. I have heard of MH and T5 - which one would be best? but will not wipe out the bank. Heat is...

Is this normal: I've had my Bi-Color Angel for about 3 weeks now and she loves to swim between and behind the rocks so she comes out fairly regularly. I checked yesterday (i have a 55g tank - so not that big) and i couldn't find her. I cant find her behind the rocks, however i haven't moved any...

hi! So i have had my saltwater tank up for almost a year now- eveything's going great! Well I am going to St. Thomas in 19 days and I am doing a lot of snorkeling, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a good book I could bring to identify the fish that I see!

How many fish of different species can I add at one time? Is two or 3 different fish at once too much?

I have recently gotten a blue hippo tang. My LFS kept calling it a her. How do I know if its a male or female?

What is a good amount of time for acclimating a Tiny Blue Hippo? It says 3+ hours on this site, but i'm not sure, is that too long, or long enough?

So im in the midst of setting up my QT, and here's my question: is it possible to use about 6g of my water from my DT when i do a water change and use 4g of new water, and have it not have to cycle? It's a 10g tank. I want to get some fish next weekend, and i had heard that i could use already...

it has been really hot lately, so I've left the lids open to cool it down. Well my cat LOVES water and i went into my room and saw her on the tank (don't know how she jumped up there) drinking out of the tank!! (and to be honest i was surprised that she was only drinking...she loves to swim...i...
