I am thinking of upgrading my lights on my 75 gallon FO. I was wondering the advantages of a smartlite from costomsealife over an ordinary double strip with one actinic blue and one daylite bulb. Thanks

It also looks like there are two small darker spots on the tail now.

I ordered a semilarvatus butterfly and a juv emperor angel from this site. The emperor looks great, but when I recieved the butterfly on thurs. it had a white cotton patch on its fin and tail. The tail also was slightly eroded. I think its a fungal inf. Both fish are currently in a 35 gallon...

I was just at the Baltimore aquarium and was very impressed with their lookdown fish. Can anyone give me more info on them.

I'm still having the problem with the white film on my volitan lion. It has spread and caused the death of my regal tang, and copperband butterfly. The film is still not that bad on the lion, but I would still like to get rid of it. My other fish are in a Qt and have no symptoms. When is it...

Over the course of a week I lowered the salinity to 1.009. The only fish affected now is a Volitan lion. He still eats from my hand and has not decreased in activity(from his usual low level. The film is opaque white and is on the tail fins.

I lowered the salinity in my 75 gallon tank 2 weeks ago to fight Ich. It went through a period where all the fish got a white film that cleared up in about a week. Now the film is coming back. Is this second attack due to eggs that were in the tank and hatched? Should I be concerned that this...

Hi- I have a bit of an ick problem right now on my regal tang and copperband B/F. I am interested in trying to lower the salinity but need to know how low to take it, over what period of time and for how long. I also have a ocellaris clown, a lemonpeel angel,a cleaner shrimp, and 10 snails...
