I have a fish only tank. I had lots of purple coraline algae growing on some live rock and my dead coral. However, about two weeks ago all the coral started to bleach. A little green algae started to grow but that died as well. Anyway, the chem looks okay except maybe the nitrate level is a...

I saw a really cool jellyfish tank in the bahamas. how hard are they to keep? where do you buy them?

I started a water change this morning like I've done a hundred time before however 5 hours after filling my 30 gallon garbage can with water (tap--but that's what I always use) throwing in my salt and dropping in a powerhead everything is all white(milky). What's up? This has never happenned...

Just noticed that all my fish are rubbing now. They were NOT before I did my water change...and I was watching? What to do?

The sohal is about 7 inches long not counting his three inch streamers. I just did a 30 gallon water change. Plus, I added Kent Marine Nitrate sponge to my cannister filter. The sohal is rubbing a lot. Not sure what he has. All the diseases sound and look alike...and I've been reading a lot...

Looks like WE finally did it. The skimmer is producing bubbles. I really appreciate the help.

How, the base of the center tube is definetly too big to fit?

okay I found the platic square after much shaking but I can't figure out where it goes. I can't get the center cylinder completely out to be able to slide something in the bottom. thanks

I would love to hear more opinions about this skimmer. How do home built compare to a skimmer like the Euroreef or AquaC?

I've had the sohal for a year now. He seems pretty happy. However, he has grown a good two inches this past year. Will live rock help? If so, how do I add to an established tank?

is this safe for a fish only tank for removing nitrate? Any other recommendations? http://www.animalnetwork.com/fish2/aqfm ... photo2.asp

My berlin skimmer hasn't been working properly. I have a large sohal, medium, puffer, medium lion, copperband butterly, medium naso. The lion is new and I've been feeding shrimp, scallops, formula 1 and 2 and freeze dried jumbo shrimp. Before the lion I only fed formula 1 and 2 and occasioanl...

Yes, still a cyclone. I took it apart and shook it upside down but didn't hear a rattle this time. The plastic tube doesn't come all the way out...right? I could take most of it out but the top keeps me from removing completly. I need to get the manual b/c I'm still not grasping where the...

I have a 92 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump. I did a 30 gallon water change one week ago. I did a 10 gallon water change a couple of days ago. I use tap water for changes which I've been doing for over a year now with no problems.

Nitrate was off the scale 160 or something. The PH was 8.0. I added buffer tonight. What and where should I be looking on my Sohal?
