I also posted this in the new hobbyist forum Hello, I have a scooter blenny that is not eating. I have had him for a month and never ate a great deal but recently he's been hiding more and is getting thin. Water parameters are fine(ammonia 0, nitrate 10 and ph 8.2). Recently I added copper to a...

I have a72 gallon tank and I would like to keep a Tang. I was thinking of a yellow, a naso, a kole or a regal( 1 of these - not all four). Any thought on which will be the best? I already have a coral beauty, 2 firefish, a clown and a scooter blenny. Thanks, Jerome

I have some base rock in my aquarium. I have heard that adding some live rock would cause the base rock to become live. Is this true? Can I wait until my tank has fiinished cycling?

For you guys that are using a wet/dry, do you have the protien skimmer before or after the bio-media? I've heard its best to have it before, but this may not be an option for me right now. For you guys that have them before, the bio media, what wet/dry and skimmer are you using. Thanks for your...

I am in the process of cycling a 72 gallon reef-ready aquarium. My wet dry is an aqua clear model 75. From the looks of the website, the skimmer will sit in the sump after water has gone through the bio-balls. How much better is it to have the skimmer before the wet dry? What skimmers and wet...

I am in the process of cycling my 72 gallon bowfront (Fish only) and am beginning to think about the fish that I will acquire. I am thinking of the following: 2 clowns 1 yellow tang cleaner goby(for removing parasites dead skin etc) 1 flame angel and/or regal tang. Does this sound reasonable in...

I recently got my 72 gallon tank up and running with 9 damsels used to cycle. After the first few days my ammonia hit .5 according to the test kit. It has been at this level for about a week. Nitrates and Nitrites are both 0. Is this right or should ammonia have peaked by now? By the way, I am...

I have more questions concerning substrate. I currently have crushed coral in a 72 gallon bowfront. I am in the process of cycling and am considering changing to a DSB. Here are my questions: 1) What are the advantages of CC if any? Are there any cases where cc is better? 2) Does anyone out...

why is it not necessary to vacuum sand? what is the procedure for making the change after the tank is established?

I just had a 72 gallon bowfront tank set up about a week ago. My substrate is crushed coral. Today I read a few threads saying that LS/DSB is best. Can I change the subtrate at this point? I currently have damsels in order to cycle the tank. If not now, can I remove the cc and add LS later...

I am interested in setting up a tank and was wondering if the weight of the tank should be taken into consideration. I live in an apartment and was thinking of getting a 29 gallon tank. Also, is it a good idea to buy all-in-one tanks such as Eclipse or would I be better off buying each piece...
