Hello, like many unfortunate people I lost everything in my tank during Sandy. I am looking into buying a generator for my house (for emergencies). I don't anticipate another Sandy but power out for few days in the freezer weather is very realistic. When I am checking for wattage, I am clueless...

Problem is that when I get to it, it's already chewed up by Crabs. It seems like it IS an aggressive fish in my tank. I should get something like little huma huma trigger and see how Tang can kick its .ss btw i am kidding

Hi, I do have all test kits on the planet! All water parameters are good I observed the tang - 1st day there were turf wars. 2nd day they were like schooling fish - the fins even didn't go up

How long has it been running? - over a year What equipment are you running? - Fluval 305 Which test were performed, and what were the test results? ("good" or "fine" isn't what we're looking for) - nitrate, nitrite all at 0, ammonia spiked a bit but because of dead fish, ph is 8, salinity is...

Hi, I have a 54 gallon corner tank. Current stock is: Yellow tang (2 in) O Clown Walmart puffer (yellow with black dots) Blue cleaner wrasse Red eye cardinal Sand sifting starfish, crabs, snails. All my fish is small and pretty happy. Yet, I can not introduce any new fish - it drops dead 4-5...

Hi, all - I am having an issue with what I should do. My 54 gallon corner fish only tank currently has Yellow Tang Clown Blue Stripe Cleaner Wrasse Red Eye Cardinal Yellow Goby Yellow/Black Dot Puffy (from wal-mart) Bunch of crabs/snails All fish are about an inch except Yellow Tang who's about...

Thank you guys. Found whatever was left. Watching all others and they seem fine. Not sure why he died......

Sooo weird. Going to move my rocks out and look through sand I guess? Right?

Nope, it is completely sealed on top. I have the Fluval but first thing I did is check the filter and powerheads in case it got stuck

Hi, I was finally done with adding all my fish in my tank when my Hippo Tang just disappeared after 5 days. I can not even find a carcass. In the past if the fish or a snail died, I saw my little crabs working at it for a day. But this is a fairly decent size fish to completely vanish. Not only...

how big is your tank for 5 fish? btw, how many more can i add to my 5 into 54

ONE CUBE!? Wow! I always gave them half - I feel horrible now. Btw, when thawing the iced food I was given advice long time ago to take water from the tank into a cup and throw the cube in there for it to melt..... Also, you can only have 1 angel fish in the tank of this size, right? Need to...

Well, my 5 fishes lived very happy for a while in a 35 gallox hex. I think 54 gal corner can handle a few more :-) NEED HELP on feeding - I can only understand in respect to cubes that are sold in the store. How much of the shrimp (let's say) should I feed my 5 fish - 1/2 cube, 1/4? I am always...

oh wow! thank you Gemmy i had no idea - i like this fish it's my family's demand - i must have pretty colorful fish

Thank you Flower When you QT u basically keep them in a separate aquarium w/ filter, powerhead, light, right? Also, if I'm buying a yellow tang - maybe 4 in, how big should be my QT tank?

I do want honest answer. Read your answer to me about QT again - that's why I asked, that's all Too many emotions = waste of time.

I have no idea if you are mocking me or what, but no, I meant QT in regards to adding new fish. I never had such a big tank (yes it is big for me now), so didn't really worry about adding a fish into a smaller tank. I did what Spanko advised and my new tank is all set up with everyone happy.

Yep, I read this all the time except I have no idea (YET) what that means - the QT process itself. I have to investigate how where how long, etc

I just read the whole thread again - I did exactly as advised by Spanko and all. But you guys never said anything about moving fish - one at a time or all. I assumed I do the same as I would on a new tank - one at a time? I moved my Nemo there last night so will see what happens - also got my...

Absolutely! It usually spike within few days, right?
