I've been plagued with poor fish survival in my tank, over the past year and a half i have lost 6 clown fish, some within the first 3 days, the rest within two weeks, ive also lost two blue damsels, and apparently today while i was acclimating two clowns my bicolor dottyback decided he had enough...

Is this possible? It would seem all I would need is something biological to drop in the tank. Some people here have managed to turn me off of using damsels to cycle, and live rock for a 29 gallon tank would cost 150 dollars. Too damn much for a couple of small boulders. By the way, I found what...

I think... After feeding him thawed out frozen food (like we do every other day), he fell to the bottom of the tank an laid on his side. I lifted him with the net and he spit out a bunch of food and fell back to the bottom of the tank. I lifted him again and he started swimming normally. He...

I'm a newbie setting up a 55 gal fish only aquarium. I have been planning to do a freshwater setup, but realized lately that the most colorful and interesting fish IMO are sal****er. So, I've been looking at sal****er instead. Still fish only, and flake eating fish only if possible. Everything...

Hi all, My marine tank is finally stable. It's in really great shape. I guess it is time to throw it out of balance again...lol. I'm looking to add stock and would appreciate your thoughts on an end state vision. I think I want a mix of Fish, Inverts and Coral. (in that order, if compatibility...

I'm curious if anyone has this stand...and what they think about it? I think it looks great from the pictures...but I mean how is it really. They say it's all wood stand...and seems to be good quality, but who knows. http://www.elmersaquarium.com/h105sedona_stands.htm Any input would be great. ...

Hello Aquaria Marine Group, We recently released the first in a series of videos about various species of fish. We would appreciate your feedback. The videos are free through Google video and each will feature a different species. This link will take you to the...

Has anyone heard of a filter media product named 'Chemi-Pure'? It comes in a white plastic little jar, and it has a couple muslin bags of this granular substance which strongly resembles filter carbon , although the store manager says it is NOT carbon. Chemi-pure is manufactured by...

I recently bought a mural goby and I'm concerned because I don't see him eating. He did sift a lot of sand when I first got him but now (after about 4 weeks) he's not sifting much. Is it possible that he's eaten everything out of the sandbed? I have a 30-gallon tank. Also, he seems to get...

I picked up a tank previously used for sal****er. What i have noticed in the top 1" below the top frame, is that the glass is hazy. It's really smooth inside, so it doesn't appear to have hard water crusting. Does anyone know how to remove this?? I would like to get back into new shape. I'm...

I wish to ask, has anyone here had any experiences purchasing fish (particularly marine fishes)online and having them delivered through the postal service? If so, I (and others, I am sure) would greatly appreciate sharing in the information and experience you have gained. Thank you. Mike.D.

Hi, I'm in the process of downgrading to a fish only tank from a reef tank for various reasons. My questions: 1 - Can I keep a cleaner shrimp in a FO tank given that I won't be using RO water and my water quality may not be quite as high as it was in my reef tank? 2 - What are suitable...

I purchased a Foxface Rabbitfish a few months ago...He was very bright yellow and black. Now his color is very dull and he will even change to brown at times. I make sure that he has plenty of supplemental seaweed between feedings. Does anyone know what I can do to make him happy?

Beware, the fish-gestapo is very mean and "subfishes" will be killed by them.

Well, that's big an 25 meters high aquarium with a million liters water, 2500 tropical fishes. That's in a Berlin Hotel. http://berlin.equipier.com/2006/06/radisson-hotel-sas-berlin.php

I added a couple of clown fish to my 55 gal tank. The tank only had three damsels and a clean up crew. The damsels were so aggressive with my new clowns that I took them out and put them in the 10 gal quarantine tank. I figure that after some time the clowns will get territorial and fight...

Here's the scoop: My yellow tang is lingering with his nose toward the gravel all day. I have no idea why, but I would sure like to find out. My tang had ick a while back, it is gone now after some freshwater dips and the hyposalinity I began 2 weeks ago (SG 1.009). My aquarium is still cycling...

I have been looking for other people that have used marc weiss products on their reef tanks and would like to hear how they feel on the effects to their tanks. I personally like the spectra vital and black powder but do not feel the F.O.R.M. (funky old reef mud) performs like it says. any input...

Hi - my boyfriend has had sal****er aquarium for some years, but I am new to the hobby, and since he is a self-made man, and I like to READ and ask for Help, I would like to ask in here, where can I real all kinds of interesting things about the invertabraes (we are not english, so I don't know the...

What is that purple stuff on live rocks? TIA
