    tank upgrade

    I would do that and keep a close eye on the water quality of the water that is taken out of your old tank. I would do this though since you are using water that you are taking out of your old tank I would put also 5 gallons of fresh salt water in with every 10 gallons of old salt water to help...

    Tank Size?

    yeah but I can not find what it is. I know that in my size tank that a dead snail or two will rise the ammonia. I will continue to do water changes at a regular bases so that it will hopefully bring down the ammonia. I am also thinking about changing my subtrate to live sand.

    Tank Size?

    I do not have a deep substrate in my aquarium. Do you think that might be the problem. Should I change over to live and dead sand and if so how deep should aim for?

    Tank Size?

    Hello everyone, I have a 30 gallon reef tank and I am have problems keeping the water quality the way it is to be. I do considerable water changes and still the ammonia will not go away.

    Do I REALLY need a skimmer??

    I have to side with Josh. You cannot over skim your tank. I have a skimmer that has a 200 gallon copacity. I love it when ever there is and increase in algae and i clean my tank in less than a couple of hours the cup is full of free floating algae. I have been adding nutrients and supplements...

    Damaged Leather

    Hey I did not know that. So you think that I could cut it and have frags to place in different places in my tank. That would be cool. Please tell me how to do that and what to use. Please suggest a way to attach the pieces to other pieces of my live rock. I will concentrate on my water...

    Damaged Leather

    My test the last time i did them was this: PH-8.2 Amm.-.25 Nitrite-0 Nitrate-10 Phos.-0 It is strange becaouse the little polyps never came out until the darn thing was rippid in half by my power head. The top looks healthy but that is all that is there. It does not have a stalk to it anymore.

    brain color

    You should check where you have the brain in the tank. You may need to put it highier in your tank so that it can get more light. Target feeding will help but be carefull not to over feed it. Also when i first bought my brain it closed an the color faded for a few days and then opened up to a...

    Bubble Tip

    It has been down for about 5 months. It looks healthy but just small. I cannot figure it out. Also it is on the dark side of my tank instead to the bright side. On the dark side there is more actinic blue than daylight. I did that to accomdant a wider range of coral such as mushrooms and bubble...
