    Happy Birthday SaltyQueen!

    Thanks all, sorry I haven't really been around much- I wish I was able to more. I had a lot of trouble with my tank, most everything in my tank has died, and I still don't know why. I moved to Green Bay 3 weeks ago, and rather than move the few things that were left, a friend took them for his...

    Something growing

    sounds like some sort of anemone- do you have a picture? If you're not sure what it is, if you have a sump, put it in there, that way it won't harm any of your other cirtters.

    EMERGENCY- Tank Crashing Fast!!!

    The blenny is still in QT, still has the white splotches. I've been continuing to soak the food in garlic, but things seem to be staying pretty much the same for now. My inverts and corals seem fine- I've been keeping an eye on everything very closely, and I haven't noticed anything abnormal...

    EMERGENCY- Tank Crashing Fast!!!

    My last clown died this evening. I wasn't able to get a pic, but I'm pretty sure it was dropsy. I don't think it was bacterial, though, because I had treated him twice with tetracycline (2 courses of 5 days each). I really think my tank got infested somehow with something viral. So now I'm...

    EMERGENCY- Tank Crashing Fast!!!

    Forgot to add- in better news, I graduated this past weekend!!! So as soon as I take the state exam, I'll officially be a Nurse Practicioner! Yeah! (if only I could figure out how to nurse my fish back to health...)

    EMERGENCY- Tank Crashing Fast!!!

    More problems... The remaining 2 fish in my tank seemed fine- the cloudy spot had cleared from the clown's eye, but a few days ago, I noticed that the clown is getting swollen in his belly area, and the blenny has some whitish splotched on his body- they almost look like the beginning of sores...

    EMERGENCY- Tank Crashing Fast!!!

    OK, I have finished 3 days of treatment with tetracycline in the QT tank, and the clown's eyes have pretty much cleared up, and the midas blenny seems fine. I didn't QT the shrimp because I wasn't sure how the antibiotic would affect them, but all corals and the 2 shrimp seem ok right now. I...

    EMERGENCY- Tank Crashing Fast!!!

    Thanks everyone- I think I am going to try treating with tetracycline (broad-spectrum antibiotic, since I don't really know what disease my critters are dying of). I'll let you all know how it turns out.

    EMERGENCY- Tank Crashing Fast!!!

    think i should just use one of the broad-spectrum antibiotics they have in the fish stores on the clown in QT? (I've never had to use fish medicine before, so I'm not sure).

    EMERGENCY- Tank Crashing Fast!!!

    Hello, all- haven't been around here much because I'm finishing up my master's program at school, but I'm having a major emergency this weekend... 29 gallon reef tank, up & running for a year now, with 2 ocellaris clowns, 2 skunk cleaner shrimp, royal gramma, midas blenny, and a few assorted...

    Anyone keep a leopard grouper

    Like the others said, even though the grouper is smaller than the wrasses now, he will eventually grow larger, and they very well may become food, along with damsels & anything else in the tank. If you plan on keeping the grouper, you should limit the fish you get to ones that will grow a...

    Good Morning RS!

    Morning all! A little rainy here, but gradually getting warmer as the days go by- it's been in the 40's lately. Still very busy with school- only 40 days until graduation! :) Tank related, I lost my midas blenny a couple days ago- found him laying dead on some rocks near the back of the...

    BTA Deflates

    i would think as long as they're eating & not staying permanently deflated that they should be able to hold out for at least a week- let us know if the new lighting helps at all.
