I was given custody of a cichlid tank at work and it is now my job to keep them alive. Unfortunately nobody knows what kind of cichlids they are, just that they are very large and old (atleast 8 years old). There are 7 of them that live in a 75 gallon tank. Each fish is about 8-10 inches long. They ...

Can you suggest some hardy corals for beginners?

And maybe how flow, lighting, and suppliments factor in those decisions.

How does Kalkwasser Solution work, and when is it required?

thanks for the info! I have a mix of crushed coral and sand for my substrate. My nitrates are 0 Alkalinity ~300 (Im using a Jungle Quick Dip Test kit, so I don't know how accurate these numbers are) If I were to scrub and rinse the live rock using freshwater, do I risk killing off beneficial organis...

=( I know...

But I can't just "lose" the damsel and the sea star...

Hey All, I have a 75 gal. FWLR tank that is in some need of inspiration (well me not the tank...). It's been running for several years now and the tank and I have been through maaaaany adventures (ich, not enough algae, lots of algae, encrusting calcareous algae, all kinds of different inhabitants, ...

I was cleaning out my pond and preping it for fall when I discovered several dozen goldfish fry. They range in size from about a quarter of an inch to a half an inch. I decided to bring them inside for the winter.

What is the best way to care for them?

Well things have certainly taken a turn for the worst. I was away for three days on a business trip and I returned to a tank of horrors. The foxface and the yellow tang are completely covered in ich. I gave them a freshwater bath this morning and a 50% water change with a lower salinity (1.018). I t...

the main tank is a 75 gallon tank with live rock, hermits, emerald mithrax crabs, chocolate chip star, sally lightfoot crab, and several snails. the damsel and blenny were in a separate 20 gal L quarantine tank when the showed the symptoms again. the foxface and the tang are in another 20 gal L quar...

ok, a question... My humbug damsel has recently started scratching itself on the side of the tank, heater, plastic decor, and plants inside one of the quarantine tanks. The bicolor blenny has also exhibited similair behavior in the same tank. The foxface and the tang in the other quarantine tank don...

so this is what i decided to do... I gave all the fish a freshwater bath (same temp and pH) I then divided the fish between two 20 gal long quarantine tanks and have been treating them with RidIch+ by Kordon for three days. While in the quarantine tanks I have done a 50% water change everyday for ea...

i did a freshwater bath on the yellow tang and foxface. Both look better now. however, I havent been able to net the damsel, psuedochromis, or bicolor blenny with all the live rock for them to hide in. Ive done a 20% water change as well. Am I going to be in trouble with more outbreaks if I treat th...

I recently bought a foxface from your store and this morning I noticed several white spots on the fins and body (they look like small pieces of salt). I also noticed some spots on the pectoral fins of the yellow tang in the tank (also purchased within the last week). is this what i think it is? (ich...

do they make a mounting system for a AGA 48" PC strip?

thanks

hmmm.....

now are all stars problematic with corals?
How about some species of brittle stars?

Can anyone tell me what are some good corals or anemones for a beginner? I want to start a mini-reef type set up. right now I have a 55 gal with live rock, 3 damsels, a bicolor blenny, a coral banded shrimp, chocolate chip star, hermit crabs and snails. I have a AGA HO Compact at 110 watts putting m...
