    Dying snails and hermits

    Its about 6 months old now. Every time I get a reading of ammonia or nitrites I do a water change. Its a 29 gallon tank with about 40lbs of live rock (some in back chamber). I have a skimmer and some filter floss. When you mentioned magnets I realized I currently have 2 of those glass cleaning...

    Dying snails and hermits

    Right now I am using store bought ro/di. I just bought an ro/di unit but my apartment has lame faucets that don't have threading for an adapter so I'm trying to figure out another way to hook it up.

    Dying snails and hermits

    Hey everyone, I've been having some issues in my tank over the past few weeks. It started with hair algae slowly taking over my rocks. I think it was due to replacing the bulbs in my t5 setup. I did it slowly but I guess not slow enough! I've shortened my lighting schedule to 8 hours, 6...

    Coralline Algae

    Is there anything that contributes to the color of coralline in your tank? My old tank was all pink/purple but I'm noticing my new tank has a lot more green.

    Best Portable (ish) RO/DI

    Hello everyone, After lugging around store bought ro/di water every week for the last few years I think it is time to buy an ro/di unit. I don't know a lot about them and what to look for. I live in an apartment so I am wondering if there is anything that I can connect/disconnect on a regular...

    T5 fixture halfway fell into tank (while unplugged)!! Any tips to save it??

    In case anyone is wondering, it survived! I was impatient and couldn't wait any longer. I took it apart even more to clean it and noticed that nothing seemed to have gotten any water on it. Everything was pretty much bone dry and dusty. So I took a chance and turned it on and everything is...

    T5 fixture halfway fell into tank (while unplugged)!! Any tips to save it??

    I was changing a bulb while it was unplugged and the stupid leg thing wasn't pushed in all the way so half the fixture went into the tank. Nothing got fully submerged but it definitely went pretty far into the water. I took out all the bulbs and unscrewed the reflector and dried everything...

    29 Gallon Biocube

    Thanks! The skimmer seems to be working well, it definitely pulls out a lot of gross stuff. I don't see a major difference in the tank yet but its only been a few weeks. The frogspawn seems to be happy up higher- I moved it because it looked like it was over-inflating itself so I thought it...
