    RIP Fire Fish

    So both of my fire fish decided to jump to their deaths over this past week or it might have been a murder suicide (bad fish divorces can get brutal). I checked my levels and the only thing that is high is the nitrate which is at about 40ppm. It has been at this level for awhile and refuses to...

    Need Help ASAP

    Hey, So when I was looking at my tank today I saw all of these little white things crawling around on the tank glass, I have no idea what they are. They are very small maybe 1mm at most, kind of oval shaped. I need to know what they are and what needs to be done if anything.

    Free to Good Home

    Hey, So I currently have a dwarf lion fish in my 55gal tank but because I am moving soon and sadly will not have room for a tank of that size, so I would like to find it a new home. He is not aggressive at all towards other fish and leave the two peppermint shrimp that I have in there alone.

    Hey, So in the next week or two I should be getting my refugium but I have no idea how how to set it up. So my questions are what should my substrate be (mud or sand), what kind of plant/algae should I put in it and is there anything else that should go inside of it? Thanks

    Ammonia and Nitrates High

    Hey, So for some reason my levels have spiked big time, the ammonia is at .25ppm and the nitrates are at 80ppm. I have done two 15% water changes in the past two days and have tested the water before adding it. I feed twice a day but a good portion of the food does not get eaten, is this...

    Breeding Corals

    Hey, I keep seeing all of these great looking zoas with amazing coloration, my question is how do they do this? Can you cross breed them or do they just take a zoa that had a mutant color variant and let it grow then rinse and repeat?

    Bonded Pair of Clowns

    Hey, So I am breaking down my 26G bowfront tank but do not want to give my clowns to my LFS because they kill fish faster that that little kid from Finding Nemo. So I was wondering if anyone wanted to but them so they didn't have to die. I would only want like $15-$20 for the pair. They...

    Nano Skimmer

    Hey, I know with a small tank like mine (20G) that a skimmer is not required but I would like to have one. I do not have a sump so it would have to be a HoB unit. Does anyone know of a good one or have one that they have had good results with? I have a found a few with Google but want...

    Supplementing the Diet of a Lettuce Sea Slug

    Hey, If there is not enough algae in my tank would it be possible to supplement the diet with dried sea weed? I do not have one yet but was thinking of maybe getting one. I do not want to get one, run out of algae and have it starve to death.

    Hey, So my tank has been set up for a little over a month. It has 3 fish and a few inverts. All of my parameters are where they should be and stable at those levels. I do not have much algae growing yet, the rock still looks mostly barren. I am just wondering when is a good time period...
