We have a 240ltr marine tank with liverock, 2 clown fish, 2 banggai, 2 shrimp and a couple of turbo snails. Has any one got suggestions of what else we could add? We like tangs, but i’m not sure if there are any which would be ok for a 240ltr tank. Suggestions are appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks for your reply. I got home tonight and the clown hasn’t made it. I looked up some pictures of fish louse and i think that was what it was. Is that a bit quick for the fish to die? And is there a risk to the other clown fish thats in there? If so, is there anything i can do to avoid...

Hello, We have a marine tank, 240Lts, with 2 turbo snails, 2 shrimp, 2 ocellaris clown and live rock (and lots of tiny creatures which came nestled into the rock). This morning there was a small insect on side of one of clowns, about 5mm (will take a photo this evening if it helps). The clown...

Foolishly, I had got rid of the “stuff” that came with the kit (Its a 4 month old kit I use for the freshwater tank), its just the bottles which have details on how many drops to put in etc which don’t specify if I can use it for marine... I think I’ll get a marine kit, just to be on the safe...

A week ago we got set up with sand and salt water, yesterday we bought the live rock (£160 on “just rock” made some entertaining conversation :D ) Its surprising just how long you can spend just watching the things on the rock! A few snails from yesterday have moved from their rock home to...

Looks like she was just being a bit greedy.. after a few days of reduced food, shes back to normal size! :)

That’s really helpful, thank you The tank is ready with the sand in place, we have a huge bucket of marine salt ready for the water, and I’m in the process of ordering a RO converter for home (The shop sells RO water, but the number of trips required for the initial fill makes it a bit...

Thanks for the advice! I’ll leave it as is but keep an eye on the levels to make sure they aren’t fluctuating. I tested the tap water which was also high so I think the culprit is there rather than something in the tank. Thanks again.

Hello, You’ll have to forgive my very basic questions, but i want to get this right! We already have a tropical tank and now we want to set up a marine one as well. We have got a 240Ltr tank, which has come with an external fluval 306 filter, heater and lighting (2 x 40W)l. After reading some...

Hello, I wonder if anyone could please give me a bit of advice.... We have a 240Ltr tank with 3 x guppies, 1 x platy, 2 x balloon mollies (plus a few fry) and 2 x 3 spot Gourami. The water stats have always been pretty constant, but after todays water change (20%), i’m getting a PH reading of...

I’ve had this Platy for two months now, she “seems” to be getting bigger, does anyone think that she’s pregnant or is she just eating too much? There are no males in the tank.. Thanks Two photos.. unfortunately the close up is a little out of focus.

Unfortunately he hasnt made it. The rest of the fish are still happily swimming around, so it may have been old age rather than infection. Forgive me as i'm relatively new to this, but what do you mean by "yellow foods", we've been feeding flakes to the fish so far and crushed flakes to the...

Thank you for your help. We bought him 3 months ago, so I’m not sure on his age. The other two bought at the same time seem to be fine. To avoid disease spreading to the other fish, would you advise any meds now or just to keep an eye out for other symptoms before adding anything. I don’t...

Here's a picture of him...

I wonder if anyone can help.... We have 3 black mollies, 3 balloon mollies, 3 guppies and 1 Platie. One of the black mollies for the past week is looking thinner, weak and is swimming with his body and tail slightly drooped. He is spending more time in the bottom of the tank (not on the...
