Geez, I am really bummed to hear that...BTW, I didnt clarify, the LFS that told me 90G was fine, was not the same store that sold me that fish (I purposely asked a different store for the very reason you said, thinking I was Oh so smart.) Now I just feel dumb. How long would we be able to keep...

I was planning on putting the hippo into the 90 G, not keeping her in the 30G. I had done some research, and recommended size was 90G+, and the LFS confirmed this info...right now she is only 2", so I thought that she could stay very temporarily in my 30G. BTW, I used some API "Quick Start"...

I was recommended two different Microbe-Lift Products from my LFS - Artemiss, a bacterial disease remedy I used for one of my cichlids who had pop-eye, and also Herbtana, another remedy for parasites, that I used on my new Hippo Tang, who developed velvet either at the LFS (a different one)...

Thanks to all for their input. Hope I havent done any permanent damage; the water has been changed to RODI and will be using dechlorinator as well to be sure.

Hello, as you may recall, I purchased a saltwater setup from CL. I need to better understand how the filtration system works, and the quality of the system, and the bio-load the tank can handle with its current setup. This is a 90G tank with a 30 gallon sump. It has Berlin "25-250 Gallon...

My live rock was looking pretty awful after a toothbrush scrubbing and soaking, so I decided (after some reading) to use a 1/10 bleach solution, and start off from scratch. I soaked it for 12 hours in the solution, rinsed well in hot water, and am now soaking the clean rock in a pail of well...

Thank you, umpteen times!! ( I am a very complicated person, thus the complications I encounter, lol) Will follow instructions to the letter (and number)

Hello all, I just purchased a used SW tank which included lots of LR, most with red algae on them. Some have little red "mushrooms" on them, which look healthy and very pretty. I have a bunch of questions... 1) I have an extra tank I can use to cure the live rock in, and remove the problem...

Thanks to all! Amazingly, I guess, the tank comes with UV sterilizer, protein skimmer, Huge circulator pump, and some 300$ gizmo that provides motion inside the tank, from the outside, causing 0 heat (some kind of magnetic dojickey), in addition to the regular fare. Guy says he got "tired" of...

:bounce:I am picking up a tank complete with LR (no live sand), But...I am told that the tank was "let go" and the rock has a LOT of red algae on it. I was also told I *could* scrub the rock pieces, all 100# of it!, and *try* it to see if the algae does not grow back. I have another possible...

Hello all, so here is my question. I have a 30G tall tank stocked with one 2.5 inch coral beauty, live sand, and about 15 pounds of live rock. My nitrites and ammonia are 0 but my nitrates have been hovering around 10 ppm since Coral went in, four days ago. Do I do a water change to drop the...

Thanks for the warm welcome! Question: do i have room enough for my little diamond spotted goby as well, or do I need to make do with only one clown....:grumble: If no room at the inn, what type of sand-sifting person would you recommend - I have 4 small hermit crabs at present. Thanks for...
