On my 29 gallon I have a HOB skimmer, HOB filter running purigen (not sure if it does much really) and do weekly water changes of 5 gallons.

Thanks for your help. My mom euthanized him tonight. He has been sick for the last 3 weeks or so and none of the two treatments for varying illnesses made a difference :( He was my first fish too.

Updated picture. No slime was just the glass. Mouth is open a lot apparently.

Thanks for the response. I am not sure if that is a film on him or just dirty glass. I will get my mom to take another picture tonight.

Nope nothing has changed for a couple of months at least.

Not sure how to edit my post...but I messed up the pictures. This should be the last picture

Hello, A clown fish in my moms 65 gallon aquarium hasn't been eating well for over a week. He used to be the pig of the tank and then stopped eating and starting staying in a corner. My mom contacted our LFS and they said maybe fin rot (I looked at the picture and cant see any signs of fin...

Thanks again. Got all my baffles in and going to plumb the return tonight hopefully. Also found an JBJ ATO for $50 which I am picking up tonight also.

Thanks, after doing some more reading I think I am just going to stick with the skimmer and fuge and scrub the scrubber idea. For now anyways. While I got you here what is the best way to connect my return pump (with a 3/4'' barb) to my pvp return pipe? I asked an employee at a hardware store...

Alright thanks you two! The sand bed is going byebye. Does any one have experience with algae scrubbers? I saw one design used by someone on this site that was similar to mine but they said if they were to do it again they would put the ball valve below the t for the algae scrubber to direct...

Thanks for the reply, the middle section is going to be a fuge that the the algae scrubber just empties into also, it will still have a deep sand bed and such. I guess I will look into an ATO the system has been running w/o the sump for almost a year and I haven't had too much trouble with salinity.

Hello, I have started to plan a 10 gallon sump for my 29g aquarium. I will be using a Nano Eshopps Overflow and a Aquatic life 115 protein skimmer with a return pump of roughly 300 GPH. In my design I also included a algae scrubber since it seems to be easy to incorporate in my design and can...

I just bought a used stand online. When I bought it I didn't realize that the frame was made out of metal. I plan on putting my 30g tank on the top while my 20g sump on the bottom shelf. Just wanted some peoples opinions on whether or not they think it will work. The bottom of the legs don't...

cool thanks everyone.

Hello, This past weekend a got a feather star as a gift. I took it back the next day :( but picked up these two little guys. The first one is a ricordea coral i believe? The second one I am having more troubles identifying . Can anyone help me out? Any tips on what they like in terms of...

My girlfriend bought me a feather star this weekend. I took it back to the store the next day because I knew i couldn't look after it properly :(

You may also want to go at off peak hours to maximize your chance of getting some decent 1 on 1 time. Also what subject is the paper for and what grade are you in? This info may help people know how specific the question should be and such.

Hello, In roughly a month I will be moving but will only be staying in the new house for about 4 months until i move once again whereby I should be staying in that house for 2 years or so. I have a 65 gallon tank that has been set up for just over 3 months. I do not want to move a 65 gallon...

Thanks you 2! I moved her to quarantine on Saturday and have been treating with maracyn ever since. She is now eating and the fungus seems to be receding. Glad I asked here first...went to my lfs and they said to add some natural remedy to my DT to fix the problem. From what ive learned here...

Hello, Yesterday I noticed a slightly red / deep orange patch on the "chin" of my clownfish. I fed my fish and they ate normally no problems. Today I saw what appear to be white growths on the chin of the same clownfish and also she is swimming around normally but with her mouth stuck open. It...
