Along with the DT I was given a QT that was treated with copper and other chemicals. I have since taken down the QT and want to use some of the LR from it for my DT. What do I need to do to make them safe for the DT?

I bought 4 cleaner shrimps awhile back. After a few days 3 went missing. Never found any traces of them. The sole survivor lived for about 2 months but it too went missing this weekend. I searched and searched and finally found a piece of its shell underneath some rocks in the back corner. I...

I believe the tank is 21" high. I have mostly softies and a few SPS but will be adding more. I currently have a 4x54w fixture and growth just doesn't seem to be what I'm expecting. Would the 8x80w be overkill? If so, would a 4 or 6 bulb be better suited.

When I started the tank I bought some really fine live sand. They were like sugar size grain. After about 4 months now I see a bunch of small shells and little clumps of sand everywhere. Where did they all come from and how do I get rid of them? I want my sand back to how it use to be.

I have a red sea wave maker coming in today along with a 750g/hr hydor powerhread. I already have 2 1600g/hr and a small 100g/hr powerheads. I probably won't continue using one of the 1600 because it's making too much noise. Any suggestions for setting up a 1600, the 750 and 100 to get a good...

So far all the fishes I've added look healthy and are eating. Should any of them get sick, how would I get them out of the tank with all the rock in the way? It will probably stop eating too so baiting those fish traps won't work. Do you guys just suck it up and remove enough rocks to get to...

Is there any concern with putting a high wattage heater in the sump? Would the heater heat up the much smaller amount of water too quickly that it will be too hot or would the high return rate of the water make this a non-issue? I have 2 heaters, a 300w and a 400w but will only be using one or...

Looking to buy a variety of corals for my reef tank. It's a 100g moderately lighted with 216w of T5. Prefer San Gabriel or Inland Empire area for pick up.

The tank is 60" and the lights are only 48". Tank is not setup yet so I don't know how well the whole tank is lighted. Maybe later on I'll go with a 6 bulb 60" setup but for right now would this do? It's a 4 lamp T5 with 54w each.

Many freshwater fish seem to do better in small groups of 3-5. Is this true of saltwater fishes as well? I'm starting my first saltwater tank and pretty new to the whole hobby.

I will be looking at a complete setup from a seller today. It's a 100gal and they're including a 37 quarantine tank as well. The tank is currently taken down with the live rocks and sand in buckets. 2 fishes are relocated to quarantine tank until purchase. If they provide me with little to none...
