A fellow member of my local salt club has a monster tank, an in wall 700ish gallon. He currently has a bunch of random fish, and a cat shark. He is considering putting in a blue spotted ray. Will these two live together okay? I can see a lot of fighting, considering theyre both bottom dwellers...

Okay here goes, sorry this is so long... I started a tank, because i wanted to keep my favorite fish, a dogface puffer. After doing lots of research, and asking a lot of people, I decided it should be okay to put one in my tank with my current livestock. Here is what my tank looked like...

So I have a question about powerheads. I have attached a quick drawing of how my tank is currently set up. Here are what the numbers represent: 1. Protein skimmer outlet(Octopus HOB 800S) 2. Protein skimmer intake 3. Canister filter outlet(Marineland C-360) 4. Heater(rated for 75 gallons...

So good news. My naso tang started eating finally. I got it some slow sink pellets and soaked them in kent garlic extreme. It started eating the pellets, then moved on to frozen brine and mysis(still fed pellets as well). This went on for about a week, looked very happy, moved a lot. This...

I have three things that hitchhiked on my LR, I have no idea what they are. Picture one looks kinda like pulsing xenia or however its spelled. Picture two looks like a mushroom polyp? And picture three is a small very vibrant lime green anemone with pink tips. They are moving all over the place...

So my firefish was my first fish in my tank(other than the damsel I cycled with, and later traded). The firefish(my little pony), would come out as soon as the lights turned on in the morning, and would stay out until the lights went off, sometimes a little later. Ever since I added the tang...

I have the octopus 800s HOB protein skimmer, works great. I took it off the other day to clean it up, remove the excess slime, ect. Now that its clean and put back together, it works better than before, BUT it slurps occasionally. Sounds just like a straw when the cup runs out of fluid. It...

Does it work? I pulled the fish from the display tank, did hyposalinity until they all showed no symptoms, and 2 weeks after that. I kept all of the fish out of the tank for 5 weeks. I put them in a few days ago, and my valetini already has white dots. I really don't want to put them back...

So I have an infestation of what I am hoping are copepods, or some sort of pods. About a month ago, i dropped in a bottle of tigger pods, in hope to create enough to start a colony. They dissappeared from my in tank refugium(cpr one with holes in the side), and I thought it was a failed...

So yesterday, my lion started acting strange. He was swimming offbalance, and rolling over. I checked all of my levels, everything is fine. I decided maybe i needed to clean the canister filter, did that. This morning he looks better(kinda). He isn't rolling over anymore, but he is completely...

I got everything all set up and flowing. My problem is that the air intake tube is not sucking air. Will it pick up later, or is something not right? This is the octopus HOB 800s

Okay so I have had my CBS before my lionfish. I recently purchased a skunk because the CBS won't clean my fish. So I have two questions. 1. The CBS saw the skunk and started slowly feeling it out and getting closer. I got the net between them and chased the CBS away. So my first question is...

So the stand for my aquarium is black, as well as the background, so I decided to get black "live sand" from the lfs. I purchased about 100lbs of this black live sand for $1.03/lb. Does this price sound right? And do you think its actually live sand? I havent noticed any little critters...

So my Volitan lionfish came down with quite a few spots on his fins, so i bought a quarantine tank, and some martel coppersafe. He has been in the QT now for about 3 days, i have done 50% water changes daily. He isn't eating, and i'm hoping that its just because he doesnt feel comfortable in a...

Okay, so i mentioned in another thread that I bought a seaclone 100 out of panic the other night. This thing hasnt made anything more than a fizz, and a couple brown streaks at the bottom of the collection cup. So i decided to remove it and return it. Now my question is... What protein...

The LFS that sold me the lion told me to feed it every other day. About 5-6 baby guppies per feeding session. I've followed this so far, but it always seems so hungry. It will followe me around the tank, and as soon as those feeders are dropped in, he goes ape%@##. Am i feeding him enough? Or...

I have had my lion in the tank for about 3 weeks. It is small, about 3-4 inches long. Well yesterday I purchased a flame angel who is about 3 inches. Everytime the flame comes out from behind the rocks the lion chases it back in as soon as it's seen. The lion completely ignores my yellow headed...

Hey everyone. I'm pretty new to the hobby. I was at Petco with the girlfriend getting her dog some food, when I stumbled upon the saltwater fish. I was immediately hooked, and within a week I had a tank. Its now been about two months. I'll start with tank specs. Its an acrylic 90gallon...
