Here's a pic of my hippo tang. I took a week-long vacation and got back yesterday, and was shocked with how much my tang grew!!! Holy crap I'm going to need to get that 95 tank started much sooner than later. Anyway just wanted to send this pic to show how healthy he looks... I did flash him...

Hello all, I just wanted give an update and let everyone know that it's been almost two weeks and I have not had an outbreak of ich yet. The hippo tang seems very happy. There's not one white spot on him and he has beautiful coloring, swimming around actively. We have had no deaths. I have a...

Thanks, Tizzo. So, ladies and gentlemen, this is my last post for this thread, and I'm going to take some time away from swf... if I come back, I'll make a new username and hopefully learn some manners in the process. Please forgive me if I've offended you. Thanks for your advice and for the...

RobDog: That's a great idea... is there a way I can delete this thread? I'd much prefer for it to have never existed. It went feet-up the second I typed the title. Also, is there a way I can delete my username? I'm sincerely ready to give up on all this... I'm sorry for getting defensive and...

I think RobDog and Sepulatian are the same person. They have similar grammatical tendencies, and to this point, RobDog has been the only one to really defend Sep so valliantly... they joined at basically the same time, and yet RobDog is very reclusive... I've only been here a few months and...

Okay, I took some pictures of my tanks to give you a physical frame of reference for the size of tank to size/amount of fish ratio.... some of you have been throwin' me under the bus about over crowding so I wanted you to see it. My 34g has about 25 lb's of rock in it, and a lot of corals who...

They develop a white filmy substance on their bodies and refuse to eat... the go into something of a trance, too, and seem to focus in one direction, swimming with the current, breathing faster and faster until eventually they die. The formalin baths have been excellent and really prolonged...

I'm saying this in the hopes that you're eyes will be opened to the kind of person you're being on here. C'mon, wake up!

Sepulatian: this is not a place to vent your frustrations onto other people. You probably feel good after postings like that. It's kind of disappointing that you're so angry at others simply because they don't share your opinions. Ever since the beginning, you've been nothing but pushy...

Sorry, I meant to say a non-QT alternative... lol sorry

Hey Beth, Is there a non-formalin alternative? All of my other fish are doing good. Do you think it would make a difference if I let time pass? If it's a fish disease, would the others carry it even though it's not affecting them?

KellenR - Where have you been my whole life??? I wish I had heard your opinion before I went and blew money in a futile effort to solve something that could have easily been a success in plenty of other ways. I am having success with my tank so far. No overcrowding (currently 3 fish -...

Also, I have a green-bubble-tip anemone in excellent health (Gorgeous colors, full tentacles) and none of the clowns have hosted them. All of the clowns I've owned have been ocellaris or percula.

Hello, I've had a total of 7 clowns now, all of whom died of brooklynella. I've tried the formalin baths. I've tried the quarantine (but blame myself because i didn't do it right)... but it seems as though I have a brooklynella epidemic on my hands. I'm posting this because I want to know the...
