Thanks! her tank doesn't have a lot in it yet, she just started to add - very slowly. she will be taking from my tank quite a bit of live rock, an anemone, a clam, some small coral frags, longnose hawkfish, blue hippo tang, 2 firefish, and numerous snails/crabs. can she have 2 lawnmower...

anyone have any suggestions?

so after much thought and sadness I've decided to sell the contents of my saltwater tank.... I've just had it with all the problems... I just don't have the time/money to continue the way I'd like to. anyway, my question is that I have a friend that has recently gotten into the hobby and would...

ok - sorry about all the questions here... but I was reading some of the stickies that were recommended and correct me if I'm wrong - can I leave my tank be for 11+ months without adding anything new and be basically "ich-free"? I'm really concerned on how to properly quarantine all these fish...

ok, so obviously I'll need to return my very expensive bottle of kick-ich - now, do I need to treat all the fish in the tank - or just the 3 that I noticed the ich on? also, my jawfish - will it be okay without sand in the quarantine tank? and how do I go about feeding my mandarin without live...

has anyone heard of "kick ich"? got it from the lfs today - supposedly you can treat your entire tank - inverts and all - claims to be safe for them?! thanks!

ok, here's what I'm working with: 75 gal (pH 8.4, Alk 1.7, phosphate 0.2, nitrite 0, nitrate <5, ammonia 0.25, temp 84, salinity 1.023) 2 percula clowns, 1 mandarin goby, 1 yellow head sleeper goby, 1 lawnmower blenny, 1 blue hippo tang, 2 red firefish, 1 longnose hawkfish, multiple...

Thanks! you got it!!! now if it was only a good thing.... hopefully it doesn't survive and reproduce! would have added a picture but it was just a flesh colored blur!:whstlr:

I'll start out by apologizing for no picture, it was a fairly fast moving critter, and when I tried to get a picture it was just a fuzzy spot.... anyway it was small - about the size of half of a pencil eraser - was elongated - flesh colored and very much resembled a lettuce sea slug - only...

update: did appx 15 gal water change last night and this morning my pH is (drumroll please.... ) 8.2 !!!! woohoo!!! I was so relieved to see that. unfortunately my carpet anemone didn't make it - I really am surprised he lived as long as he did. shame on the lfs for not educating me that I...

last water change was about 1 week ago and it was appx 20 gallons. from what I read in the article the vinegar will lower the pH - it says to use 1ml/gallon which of course scared the pants off of me putting vinegar into the tank so I opted for only 10ml and will watch and wait. as for the...

ok, here's what I have: 75 gall aquarium (48x18x21) appx 3 yrs old Fluval 305 canister filter Biowheel filter (not sure of size...) 1 powerhead (again not sure of brand/size) Prizm Deluxe protein skimmer Orbit Compact Fluorescent Lights/ Lunar light (Sunpaq dual daylight...

how much bigger of a tank do I need? there's now only the pair of adult convicts and of course their fry. I did pull the divider out today and have been watching them, they are still fighting some - but mostly staying at opposite sides of the tank. I'm looking at getting a 55 gal for them, but I...

hello everyone! I have a 29 gal tank with convicts in it, there is: 1 large male, and 3 smaller fish (one female) I actually started with a pair - they had about a million babies - which I gave as many away as I could, they had more babies - ate them, had more babies - ate them, and then mom...

I am getting a few new corals today - mail order and was wondering if someone could give me some advice for where they should be placed in the tank, bottom, middle, on sand or dead coral? I am getting a derasa clam, brain coral and some colony polyps. thanks in advance! Michele:help:

Never thought of that! LOL! ...there's one in every crowd! :yup: :LOL: :laughroll

it is on the underside of a piece of live rock - I had re-arranged a few pieces tonight when I was looking for places to put some of the mushrooms I cut off tonight... otherwise I never would have even seen it. it's on a big round piece on the lower portion where it doesn't get much of the...
