    YW Goby swimming to top of tank

    I've noticed an unusual behavior in my YWG the past two nights. He has started swimming to the top of the tank, and occasionally perches himself up high on the rocks, and even on the back of the powerhead! (see pic). He seems to act normal during the day, but in the evening (lights are still...

    Yellow Watchman Goby color change

    Protein Skimmer Ratings

    I asked this question in the middle of a different thread, but I'm still not clear on the answer. What is the appropriate size skimmer for a 90 gallon tank? I was told to look for one that is rated for twice the volume of the tank, but skimmers usually have two numbers in the specs: -What...

    Filtration

    Hello, I'm new to saltwater but I have kept a freshwater aquarium for a number of years. I am looking to set up a 90 gallon fish only/live rock tank. My question is, what would be appropriate filtration for this setup? I was thinking about turning my old 40gal tank into a sump and using a...
