Wife has to work today, but we are going to the Memphis Redbird game tonight with about 30 others. Hope everyone has a GREAT MEMORIAL DAY!!

My ammonia has been at 0 to 50, but my nitrites have never been above 0.

I have a Tetratec Pf150 bio filter. My tank is 4 months old. It has twin filters and I changed 1 about 2 weeks ago. Could it be that I changed it too early and removed the good bacteria?

Is there a chemical or additive to lower nitrates without a water change? All of my levels are OK except my nitrates, which are too high.

Yeah I guess I could take it back to ***** but I hate to give them the satisfaction as they were the ones who put the sales pitch on me when I bought it. Also, the last time I went a couple of weeks ago to see if they had some algae eaters or snails their fish tanks looked as if no one had done...

You are very right about the tang, but I have no where to go with him because I bought him at ***** and they will not swap and there are no other saltwater stores around.

My aquarium is approximately 3 months old and I was wandering about adding an algae eater. I have a tang, damsel, and a clown fish. Is is too early to add or should Iwait. Also when I do add what kind of algae eater would you recommend that is compatible with these. Thanks. Mike

I have considered some lr. How much would be enough for a tank of my size? And what kind of a powerhead do I need. I know nothing of powerheads. Thanks. Mike

My filter is a Tetratec PF150 Bio-filter. I usually have to add about 1 gallon of water every other week. Mike

:confused: My tank is now over 7 weeks old and has had the same readings for about 3 weeks. Do you think think that it has cycled or do some just take a long time. I have no live rock. I have a yellow tank (4 weeks old) (please no comment on the tang, I made a mistake and can't take it back)...

I have 2 medium and 1 large artificial rock and some artificial plants and 1 artificial coral tree for decor. I have a tetratec 150 power filter. I feed twice a day. I just did not want to add the shrimp if my tank was going to cycle eventually anyway. I have learned that I will not add any...

You are right I did move too fast. I had already added the fish before I found this web site and had my back against the wall. Since then I have just put everything on hold until my water cycles. I check the water my self every other day. I watch the fish very closely for stress but have not...

As :( I am stuck with the fish as my local fish store is ***** and it is 45 miles away and they made it clear that they were mine when I walked out the door. I have learned a lot since then. I was too anxious and short on patience.

I am on my 6th week with 3 fish in my sw. I have a yellow tang, yellow tailed damsel, and a percula clown. My water has never cycled. My ammonia is .50, no2 is 0, and no3 is 2.5. My ph is 8.2 and alk is normal. Nothing has changed in 3 weeks. I bought some raw tiger shrimp but have not...

Searcy is about 120 miles and Little Rock is 188 miles. I actually have a sister and brother-in-law that own the National Park Aquarium in Hot Springs but they are 245 miles away. So I would imagine that after my tank cycles my best shot at buying fish will be on this website. I will come...

How fast do yellow tangs grow or reach their max. size? Since I can't take him back or no one I know close by has a sw tank, I want to give him all the care I can.

I guess the three fish I have left are going to have to be my trial and error as bad as i hate it. ***** made it very clear that the guarantee on the fish is gone when you walk out the door. The closest sw store is 40 miles from here including the *****. When we went looking for an aquarium...

Thanks for the help. I wished I had found this site before I bought. My PH is 8.2,ALK normal,NH3 is .50,NO2 is .0, NO3 is .25. I have a FO tank. I have Marine pebble size substrate. My tank is actually a 26gal bowfront,w/Tetratec Pf150 bio filter, Tetratec 100w heater, a 24"flor.19w light...

I have a new 29 sw tank. Never had sw before.Have been reading sw for dummies. Tank is only about 3 to 4 weeks. I have had 2 yellow tailed damsels, 2 domino damsels, 1 striped damsel, 1 yellow tang and 1 perc clown. 1 striped damsel got sick and died. The yellow tailed damsel has caused us...
