    yeah, Im ready

    Well, I report almost 3 months ago that I had ich and I took the advice to remove the fish left and let the tank sit. Well I hope I'm ready to try a fish again. I'm very reluctant. My 2 fish are in the qt and have been treated and are doing well and staring at the bigger tank wondering when...

    is there a picture of the parasite that causes ich?

    I posted a couple of weeks ago about having to start my 90 gal over again because of the presence of ich. All my recently purchased fish have died and am left with most of the originals that went through the cycling. I'm setting up other smaller tanks so I can dismantle and start over. My...

    Fallow period

    I'm getting ready to remove my fish and quarantine them for ich and letting my dt sit for the recommended time frame. I have been reading the articles on the process but wasn't exactly sure what to do with the LR, corals, and inverts. If I understand correctly its the fish that are the host...

    Just saw the really nice picture of the cleaner wrasse. I have had two at different times and can't keep them alive. They do really well for a couple of weeks and then die. Whats up? My water params are fine and everyone else is good. Any thoughts?

    clown and anemones

    Are there particular clowns that will host particular nems? I had a tomato clown and he/she really took to the nem that I had. It became to aggressive with my other fish and I had to remove it. I got a little percula that is small and cute but has shown no interest at all for the nem that I have.

    qt tank

    I had set up a qt tank in the last couple of weeks to try and avoid premature deaths of new fish, but now that seems to be doing its own cycling. The last 3 fish I had in there I had to take out after only 2 days because my amnonia and nitrates were increasing. Is there an easier way to...

    frequency of water changes

    I have a 90 gallon reef about 3 1/2 months old now. Not having too many problems but want to make sure I'm getting as much information as I can to keep it that way. Every store I go to has a different opinion about things so I get a little nervous. My question. Is there a usual practice...
