I have some salt water in the sump I built and but couldn’t get to work right. It’s been under my tank for 5 weeks slowly evaporating. Is that water okay or do I need to get it out and start over? The problem is I have to tip the sump on its side to get it in and out of the stand.

So I bought 5 Green Chromis for my first fish. 4 of them would hang out but pick at the 5th. I haven't seen him for over a day and decided to look for him while doing a water change. I found most of him under one rock, his head a few inches away his insides about a foot away. The other four...

I think my tank is getting close to being ready. So what do I put in first. Do I need a CUC right away or can I go with fish? Also can I use a power head to move the H2O around or do I need another koralia 2. Kind of a stupid one but will fish get sucked into power heads?

Base Rock- Some of my base rock was live rock a long while ago. Do i need to clean every bit of the old critters off of it? Would they help with cycling? Or do i need to keep scrubbing. Hard water stains- Will they hurt anything? My 55gal used to be a fresh H20 tank and has stains around the...

I am going to start cycling my tank next week and want to use fish to do it. I know that’s not the preferred way but it may be a while before I can afford to put any good fishies in the tank so If it takes a while that would be ok. I get the feeling that using damsels isn't the best idea...
