I've got to move everything from my 3ft tank to my new 4ft. Im just wondering as to the best way. 1) Move the 3ft (As i want the 4ft in its place). Set up the 4ft tank and leave it to cycle as per a new tank. 2) Take everything out of the 3ft tank, put it in the 4ft and then top up the lack...

I bought a 2nd hand tank recently, and i've just a few questions about setting it up. (I've used the search button to the best of my ability prior to this post) 1. I've been given two types of substrate with the tank, fine sand and 1/4 inch pieces of coral, should the small stuff go on top? or...

i wanted more corallimorph's, so i cut one into two pieces. One piece died and the other half has attatched itself to a rock. Except before i cut the corallimorph it was probably 2inches diameter, and now, the piece that survived is maybe 1/4inch diameter. . . Im not sure what i did wrong. :?

Not long.. 5-6 days or so

Ok so ive got a Duncanopsamia and zooanthid for the tank. Both are only small. My problem is that they dont seem to be opening. At times they are partially open, but then 30min later they will be completly closed. Any ideas why? nitrate: 0 nitrite: 0 amonia: 0 ph: 8.1

knowse, normally i wouldnt mind. But this grey crap seems to grow over the live sections of the rock, and when i blow it off with the powerhead anything under it is now dead... :cry:

tried that dan. For about 3 days i went outside twice a day and sprayed it and scrubbed it . I just couldnt even get a quarter or that crap on there off. I've two more questions from this: 1) When curing, will i need a powerhead in the tub? or just an airstone? 2) I noticed before i took it...

Thanks len, where can i get this peroxide

Disclaimer: Spent the last 45min searching, so here i go I bought some live rock from the lfs shop a few weeks back and put it in my tank. When i put it in i noticed it didnt smell that good. (But being very new to this i thought nothing of it) Not long after the amonia levels shot up and...

Good suggestion. I thought they were mainly for reef tanks, but ill look intothem.

EDIT: So i checked the ammonia on sun morning, there was a little in the tank, but nothing major. But something must have died beause i checked in on sunday night and it was off the charts. I tried adding so some "prime" and checking for anything dead in the tank, but couldnt find much. So i...

tetra - thats why he's in there :wink: thanks guys, i'm steering away from the triggerfish as its around $200 aus. I was thinking of a sailfin tang? Though im worried he'll outgrow the tank. If not, those wrasses look great Or something like this: Though i think like the tang it'll...

Hey all, Long time viewer, first time poster :D I started a marine tank a few months back and have got a few critters in it, shown below. However, the tank lacks a bit of colour, i dont want to try my hand at corals yet (or my wallet) so im looking at getting some more fish, but im...
