I have a pajama cardinal that was gorgeous and one day it turned a darker coloring, and never turned back. At the time, I had a heater that shorted out and had to do several water changes. I just thought that is what happened, but now not sure. Would love to hear other reasons why

I have 2 clowns that I am moving from a 12 gallon eclipse to a 15 gallon long acrylic tank. This will give them more room. I may even go with the 20 gallon glass, but that is not as long. I also have a 12 gallon aquapod that now has just a watchman goby. Going to move the goby to a 24...

Just one more update. They seem to be getting along after an initial breakin period. The purple dottyback disappeared tonight. He is always out at night feeding time. Of course, I worried so I tore tank apart. Ugh. He was hiding in the sphinx all along, tucked up toward the top looking at...

I got a sphinx decoration that I put in this tank. I didn't realize it had several holes in it until I really looked at it and decided it was perfect. The dottyback immediately investigated and has been playing with it like a kid in an amusement park.

Unfortunately, the live rock we get here are all very large pieces. I was lucky to get the smaller ones and branch styles when I did. The tank is only a 24 gallon, and I cannot fit a lot of larger rock in there. The one large piece I do have has a few holes he can swim through, but the are...

I wanted to let you all know that I did move the purple dottyback to the other tank yesterday. I lost an older watchman goby in that tank and the pajama cardinal was the only one in there. I took everything out, scraped off all the algae that shouldn't be there, rearranged all the live rock...

Ok, I will try doing more frequent water changes. Food every other night (I hope they don't get too hungry). I will have someone take a hammer and chisel to the salt. I won't be able to do it myself, but I have someone who can. If I buy just plain water, I can get it for 35 cents a gallon...

I am not using a canister filter. I use the blue sponge that came with the tank.

I am probably overfeeding the fish. I do water changes, about 1/3 of the tank) every 3 or 4 weeks. I try to do more, but water is expensive. I was making my own, but my bucket of salt is rock hard because someone left it open. I pay $2.11 for a gallon of water with the tax. Should I be...

I have a 24 gallon aquapod, and I just noticed last night that it is infested with bristleworms. I have never seen them in there before, but there are a couple of big ones, so I know they have been going awhile. My watchman goby is pale and not feeling well, and I wonder if he was stung by...

I will definitely move him, I am just worried about the pajama cardinal. I only have another 12 gallon that has a 3stripe damsel in it, and I know the damsel would go to town on the dottyback.

In a saltwater tank, can the decorations I purchased for my freshwater tanks by used? I have several things that would make great caves for some of my fish. I just don't know if they can be used in a saltwater tank. I imagine that they would eventually get algae and stuff on them, but that...

I have a purple dottyback that I adore. He is currently residing with some clown fish in a 12 gallon tank. I know, overcrowded. I have a 24 gallon tank with a pajama cardinal in it. I have had him for about 4 years now. The 24 gallon tank is loaded with bristle worms. The dottyback I...

I have been looking for a new heater to order. I found one called CA titanium heater. I read the reviews on one site but they say this one is terrible. Anyone know of a titanium or a GOOD heater.

I just sent an email to Marineland and told them about the heaters. All together, I had 7. 3 are still in tank (taking those out) and 4 shorted out on me. I know I had more because at one time I had 18 fish tanks, but they are probably in the attic and I am not worried about those. I hope...

Sounds great. I don't mind spending a bit more for something that is better quality. I just have to do it slowly lol. Thanks!

Hello. I have had 4 of my stealth heaters short out in the past 4 or 5 months. Only one of them got the water high (to 100 degrees), so I have been so very lucky. They short out, and then I get an electrical smell in the tank. Fortunately, on 3 of them I was in the room and was able to take...

I have what came with the tanks. No additional powerheads at all. The pods have the nozzle that I point on the water level and one is turned down into the tanks. The eclipse has the filter that pours water into the tank. And, of course, the air stones. Should I be running some other kinds...

I will pick up more water tomorrow and see if I can't get some astreas and some turbos. Don't want to put them in until I clean some out and do a good water change

I have the normal filtration/water movement in each tank. I also add an air stone to each tank. I cut back on feeding in the aquapods and fish seem to do well. Has helped a lot with nitrates, but not the algae. I can cut back more on the eclipse. With 3 in there, I am afraid of starving...
