Nice read. I do wonder if there more to be consider in their data that they might be over looking but still a good read. Also could then using a skimmer be hurting our corals? Fish pee is vital to reef health

This thread is for all the past POTM winners

Told my wife she needs to get me this. Everytime I leave the house the girls ask if I'm going to the fish store.

Guys, I picked up two fish, 1 purple firefish and 1 dotty back (I think) for my girls' 10g fish only tank. Both fish have been in the tank for about 3 days. Day one both fish hide under the rocks. By day two the dotty back was out and about. Also by day two I noticed both fish eating. I...

Guys Back during our last meeting @trio91 , @MaxDamage984 , and I got talking. I was telling them that I was thinking of putting a small refug in my overflow after I extend the drain pipe up. They suggested maybe trying mangroves. Has anyone used mangroves? If so thoughts? Should I...

So I have a tomato clown in my tank. I picked him up for my bubble tip nem. The second I put the tomato in he went right into my nem. My BT nem is on the top of my scape. 2 months ago I added another nem. I added a rainbow nem and he made a home at the bottom of my scape. Now today I...

So guys I am wondering what everyone's "dream" fish is. It might be a fish you have or it might be one you want or it might be one you would love to get but know you can't. Mine would be a Manta Ray

How often do you guys clean your tank's glass? What do you use to clean it? My I have to do the mag-float like every other day or the glass gets pretty dirty.

How often, if at all, do you guys clean your skimmer's pump? Yesterday I was feeding my fish so I put my system into feed mode (which turns off the skimmer as well as other equipment). I always randomly check sump to make sure all is going well. I noticed my skimmer's cup was full of clean...

Guys I am working on getting my girl's 10g tank ready. Today I ran test on the water and discovered my pH was around 7.6 (the ammonia and nitrites are high so I have time). I do not have sand in the tank to help buffer the pH. Also with it being summer my AC is running (my family and I...
