I would say you would want to ditch the crushed coral and go with a deep sand bed. It happen to me when I tried to go with a 30 gallon that is was much harder to keep running compared to my 75 gallon. I used to have crushed coral but could not keep my nitrates down. I also used a tap water...

Some one has to know something about puffers.

I just saw a program on Discovery that talked about puffers that have a toxin in thier skin and spikes. Is this not in the puffers that are commonly found for sale. If they do have the toxins how do they inject it. If it is in thier spikes could they inject it by just touching them and them...

The hair algae that I was talking about was from the tank cycling and the critters and starting to take care of it all except the small amount that is starting to form on top of the polyps. It is in direct current from my power head and is under both of the power compacts due to them...

I have had these about three weeks and they do not seem to be opening up like they used to. I have them in a 75 gallon tank with 192 watt power compacts. They are in the center of the tank in the sand bed. It looks like the ones on the sides and the ones that are shaded look and open up the...

I have a 75 gallon tank with about 75lbs. of live rock. I have a bycolor blenny, a Flame angel, a small mimic tang, and a maroon clown. I am wanting to add another fish to my tank. I want it to have some benifits to the tank and look and act interesting. I am wanting to start keeping soft...
