It is a dansel fish that I have had for 8 months. There are 2 others with him, and several hermit crabs. There has been no agressive behavior amongst them. Nothing new has been added for months. It is a 55 gallon tank. I will test the water and post the result shortly.

I have a fish that all of a sudden on one of its eyes there is a bubble. I don't know what it is, or if there is anything I can do for him. It was not there yesterday.

I am only moving a couple of miles away. I plan on moving the tank last so I can just set it up in it's new spot. I just cant find the 5 gallon buckets with the lids that I was planning on using. I search the site for tips on moving. Several people used large trash cans, I might consider this...

I am moving in about a week. I have a 55 gallon tank. I was hoping to drain the tank into a bunch of 5 gallon buckets for the move. However I can not find any anywhere. Any suggestions as to where I might be able to find them, or any other suggestion. I would really appreciate it. Thanks

The advice did help. Also I am one of the lucky few that has a great LFS between 5 and 10 minutes away from my home. They are closed from now til October because they are relocating to a privately owned building about a mile away. So I am saving as much $ and doing as much research as I can in...

I was also wondering, with all the weight of the rock do you have to do anything special to support the bottom of the tank?

If I can only add 5-10 lbs of rock at a time, how long should I wait in between additions. Also does it need special lighting?

My tank has been set up for about 5 months now. It is a 55 gallon tank with 4 fish in it. I want to add some live rock to it but don't know how to go about it. I have read that it will cause a mini cycle. Is this safe for the fish? I would appreciate any recomendations.

I got a breeder net and put him in there. He seems to be doing ok. He is eating and swimming to the best of his ability. Atleast they cant peck at him anymore. Will his tail get better or is he going to swim like this til he dies. He seems to be fine other than the swimming problem.

Acctually it is the clown and another damsel picking on a damsel. They are alll about the same size. I think I will try rearanging some of the decorations that I have in the tank. Thanks

I have 4 fish in my tank. They have been there since the beginning, 4 months. 3 are dansels and the other is a clown. They have all gotten along fine. All of a sudden 2 of the fish are picking on another one. They have eaten quite a bit of his tail fin. I don't understand why. He seems ok, but...

I am having a problem with condensation dripping down the back side of my tank. The water is escaping were the filter is attached. It is not leaking from the filter. It is definately just condensation escaping through the hole were the filter is. Any suggestions?

I just plan on having fish in the tank right now. Maybe later I will try the corrals and rock?

I have no corals. But by reading some of the posts my cleanup crew consists of 2 snails and 4 hermit crabs. I have a 55 gallong tank I don't think the crew is big enough. The algea is not hairy. I am going to try to get a bigger cleanup crew and keep the lights off for a longer period of time...

What is the right spectrim I have a 40 watt bulb in it. Is that to low?

I do use the Ro water. I have 3 dansels, 2 snails and 4 hermit crabs. I have been feeding a small pinch every day, but reading some of the posts I think I will cut back to every other day. The lights are on for 10 hours from 2pm til midnight. It is on a timer (I am home more at night so I enjoy...

Ok, my tank has been set up for about 4 months now. I had algea in the tank that was brown, I have done 3 water changes over the course of 4 months. Now all of a sudden the algea is green and thick. It is everywhere. I cant seem to get rid of it. I have tested the water everything is good. My...
