No, I don't. Thank you for the article link. It was an interesting read. I ordered some Seachem Vitality that will be here tomorrow.

Thank you for the response. To answer your question, The tang still has a great appetite. It does occasionally pick algae from the rock and goes crazy during feeding time. Breathing seems pretty normal. I have seen the tang occasionally rub itself against rocks in the past. But it has been...

No. The only other fish in the tank are small community fish like chromis and clownfish. Zero aggression between any of them, everyone gets along.

Hi, I've had this yellow tang for seven months now in a 100 gallon tank. It has always done well, very active and readily takes food. A little over a month ago I saw some white scrapes on both sides of the fish near its tail. A little concerning, but I figured it just scraped itself against...

Hi, I appreciate the response. I decided to stop dosing Dino-X and I haven't dosed Vibrant in over a week. I've learned my lesson about "magic in a bottle" products. Ultimately it's my fault for not keeping track of nutrient levels while dosing, but I think these products did more harm than...

Hi, My Reefer 350 is approaching four months of age (3 months since livestock first added) I have a handful of soft corals, and a few fish. My tank was in its "ugly" phases but it was still exciting to me to see my corals growing and visibly spreading to nearby rock. My nitrates were pretty...

Beginner reefer with a newish tank here. (about three months old) Can I please get an ID on this algae? Not sure what else it could be besides green hair algae, but I'm not very familiar with algae types yet. This stuff is just completely taking over and showed up a week or so after my diatom...

Alright, thanks again. And thank you too PSU4ME. I am running a carbon reactor, so I will definitely turn that off when I treat the tank. I ended up euthanizing the chromis as humanely as possible. It was ignoring food, breathing heavy, and struggling to stay afloat. I suspect I'll have to do...

Okay, thank you for your help. I just ordered some metro and will start dosing as soon as possible. Do you think it would be worth purchasing a UV sterilizer too? I searched around and found mixed opinions on whether or not it helps with with uronema.

Just a xenia, green star polyp and a handful of crabs/snails. Seems like I have two choices. Start all over and just bleach everything or move forward and only house fish that typically aren't susceptible to it. I'm leaning towards just moving forward, honestly. I've already invested a lot of...

Well, good and bad news. Good news is that the chromis is still alive and acting normal. Bad news is that the afflicted area has slightly darkened and almost looks bruised. Which I guess would be expected of any form of tissue trauma? It's still not the bright red color I see in most of the...

Uronema or just a scrape? Fish was in quarantine for a couple weeks prior so I wouldn't think it would be uronema? But it still has me uneasy. I can say with certainty that this wasn't on the fish yesterday. There is also zero redness to it like I see in the pictures of uronema. It darts...

Hi, Beginner reefer here. Tank has been running for about 50 days now. I only have two clowns and a lavender mushroom coral in the tank. I wanted to start with a relatively cheap and hardy coral to see how it does before I even consider adding additional coral. A portion of the coral looks...

Hi, unfortunately you might be right about it not being fully cycled. I tested last night. While it's a low amount, there is ammonia present. The day prior to adding the clowns, nitrites and ammonia were reading zero and nitrates were around 2 ppm. I thought I was fully cycled after 34 days...

Hi, I'm a beginner hobbyist. My tank just finished its cycle about a week ago so I decided to add a couple of captive-bred ocellaris clowns from LiveAquaria. The clowns have been in my tank for three days now and just aren't eating. I've tried frozen brine shrimp, frozen mysis shrimp, New Life...
