You are going to find that it should take you a few months to have five fish. You need to space out the amount of fish you grew originally. It is always a good idea to wait off ich but as someone said it is caused by stress and the idea of all your fish entering the tank at once probably caused...

I got two powerheads (125gph) for my 55 gallon aquarium (not yet set up) and I am hoping for it to become a reef aquarium... would that be enough? Also, has anyone ever heard of an anemone 'garden'? A section of your tank full of anenomes; for your clowns? IF so, do you have any suggestions for...

I am interested in starting a 55 gallon aquariums and I know that there are closeted anenome lovers hidden among us. I am interested in almost making a garded of small sized with mid size length tentacles so that they will almost sway together. (dreamy) But my biggest concern is that I would...

Go to your library and check on the magazine The Tropical Hobyist (December of 2002) issue... in there there is a thing on how to grow algae... i don't remember what the 'things' (such language) but there are ways to grow algae... sorry if that doesn't help much :(

I have two tanks, a 55 and a 20. Its the 20 that i am concerned about. It has a problem with algae and I do not like to use chemicals in my tank and all the nitrate, ammonia, etc. are all perfect. I usually put in turbo snails but my hermitt likes to eat them, he will tear open the bearier and...

In my personal experience, I would think it wise to take out 25 percent of the water once a month; which has worked fine. However for a reef, the chemisty portions MUST BE PERFECT or you may find your prized possesions destroyed. THus, I would recommend taking out a 5 to 10 percent water change...

Ighty, well i would recomend using one bag live sand and the rest dry; depending on your tank. For, soon the 'dead' sand may turn into live sand; thus meeting your ultimate goal... now if you use live rock than don't bother with live sand. The same thing will happen either way... if you have...

Alrighty, i have a 20 gallon marine and m interested in setting up a 55 gallon reef. I have two 125gph power heads, will that be enough? Also... what kind of lighting would I use... I am interested in having almost an anemone garden where i can attempt to breed clownfish (but i doubt my...

Alrighty, there are a few different groups of books; in my eyes. For starters, there are books on how to set up a marine/reef aquariums, some that are about the fish/invertebraes, some dedicated to maintaning these world creations, and then there are the mainstream all of the above books where...

I have a 20 gallon marine aquarium and so far its been succesful; except for the fact that the fish gang up on other fish... but this is not about that. Alrighty, I recently got a 55 gallon tank and am interested in making this aquarium into a reef marine aquarium. I have thoughts of fish from...
