    So update, starfish and fish are all good. I'll grab some stability and do a 10% WC tomorrow. I can even possibly do another WC on Monday (or is that too soon?). After that I won't be home until the 29th. Thanks for the help!

    Thanks everyone, I decided to pass on them. They are cool to look at, but I don't want to deal with them dying. On another note, how does everyone feed their fish when they go on vacation? I'll try to get someone to come by, but not sure if that's going to be possible. I've been looking into...

    Hey everyone, hope you are all doing well. Got a quick question about green/blue chromis. My lfs told me they will just kill each other if I get them, but I've also seen them in so many tanks. If anyone has suggestions or experience please let me know :)

    Nope, no spots, belly from air or fluids. Looked perfect besides just gasping.. Tank still looks good ATM and everything else is still happy. I'll just assume it was a one off. Heading away again so hopefully no issues this time around..

    Back from my trip and everything looked great. Im not sure what changed over night though because my black clown was not doing good the next morning. It was just gasping for air at the bottom of the tank, slowly moving from hiding spot to hiding spot. I checked my levels, everything was...

    Hey, sorry for the lack of updates lots has been going on. Tank is looking great! Currently I have the two clowns, pajama Cardinal, conch, snails etc. At this point I'm just letting it do its thing, taking my time this time around and not rushing into it. Just testing every few days, changing...

    Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear this! :wah:, most people would say "it's just a fish", but I think everyone here understands how hard it is to lose a fish especially after 7 years. I ran into simulator issues about a month ago, the temperature probe I was using I trusted 100%. One day I felt the...

    Honestly sucks when this happens but part of the hobby I guess. At least you have two left and a file fish looks really cool!

    Fingers crossed,you see it again soon! Leaving the top off definitely happens from time to time, wish there was some kind of sensor that would trigger and send a phone alert. Keep us updated on the bluestar

    Levels seem to be where I want them, I guess I missed the spike again somehow. :dunno: I'm going to try and grab two clowns this week to get something going! I was going to start with a CUC, but they would just starve I think since there is nothing for them to eat. Very excited to get some...

    So the first time I went up my tank I definitely missed it. This time I tested daily and don't know how I could have missed it again. The water looks great though. I'll give it until boxing day and add a lil cuc or a clown. Can't wait to see some action in the tank again!
