I wanted to get some soft corals eventually. I will go with the 48" then. Thank you for your help!

I just setup a 55 gallon and I'm not sure the right size lightening to get. I plan on getting a coralife lunar light, but is it better to get the full length tank size of 48" or two separate 24" lights? There is also a plastic strip in the center of the tank, will this cause any issues with...

I only have fish and some inverts, no corals yet.

Hello, I have a 40 gal tank and currently I only have a Hydor Koralia 2 which is 600 GPH I think? So how much more would I need for my tank? Thanks!

I put the heater to be at 82 but my thermometer on the tank says the temp is about 88-90 but then the heater is still on :confused:

Not too much change in the salinity, it stays around the 1.025 area. I do use an auto fish feeder, and I have set the light timer to come on later in the day when the hottest part of the day is already over. So it comes on at 5:00 at night and goes off at 2 am. This has helped with some of...

I am going to be gone for about 3 weeks and I was worried about the water evaporation and what to do so maybe the water won't evaporate so fast? I was gone for a week before and the water went down more than I expected. Although I did keep the lid open then because it was so hot and I was...

I keep some little bits of live rock in my HOB filter for extra bio filtration and as a place for coepods because I heard its good for keeping nitrates down, but then someone said that it will only help if there is light on the rocks otherwise they will become dead rocks and make more nitrates...

I thought it was odd that i was getting shocked by it too, or that it was even possible to get shocked by a filter. When I stick my hand in the tank there is nothing, no shocks at all. But I took off the filter and looked at the motor to see if there was maybe some salt creep that had gotten...

I wasn't wearing anything on my feet and the heater is submersible and I have a rio and koralia powerhead and yes they are plugged into a powerstrip. But if it was one of those then wouldn't I only get shocked in the water or would it trasfer somehow to the filter?

This time from my aquaclear filter, but I was just trying to adjust the lid on it and I touched the top of the plastic part that pulls up water and I got a large shock from it. My hands were not wet and neither was the filter at all. It seems to be working fine, but I unplugged it and I'm...

I wanted to get a picture but he didn't host it long enough for me to get my camera. I'll try to get a picture next time he does it =) Actually now I noticed my six line wrasse doing something weird today too. He was searching all around the bottom of the sand going really fast. I thought he...

My maroon clownfish is starting to host some green hair algae that has grown on the back of the tank. Is this normal? lol

Currently playing Call of Duty 5 online on the Xbox 360, and Halo 3. RPGs are good too like Fable 2 and of course the Final Fantasy games.

I kept a black and an orange together in a 25 gal and they did fine. I think maybe if they are bought at the same time it should be ok, but I would only get one of each imo.

My other one I had for almost a year until he jumped out one day :/ So I guess I got lucky with the last one. I will try to return this one back to the LFS.

I've had a cleaner wrasse before who had no problem eating anything I put in the tank, but the one I have now will hardly eat anything. I've tried garlic soaked flakes, mysis shrimp and brine shrimp and he will go after it and try to eat some but then ends up spitting the food back up or won't...

Yes, some fish stores will have copper or something like that in their tanks to keep the fish looking healthy and alive until they are bought, but then when you transport the fish and release it into your tank then the stress from the move can make the fish get sick since the immunity is lower...

I did change the rocks around a little and he found another cave instead lol. But he's better today, not chasing anyone else. I dunno, maybe yesterday was a bad day for him.

I have a yellow fin fairy wrasse who up until a few days ago was a very shy fish who didn't bother anyone and now he is becoming the opposite. He is fine with my maroon clown but whenever another fish like my cleaner wrasse goes into "his corner" he chases them away. Is this normal behavior or...
