I've got a small piece of LR in my 45 gallon with Aptasia and Hair Algae. My Flame Angel won't touch the algae because of the Aptasia. I'm thinking about boiling the rock to get rid of the entire problem...It started out a minor nuisance, it's becoming an issue now! Since boiling kills...

We recently purchased a 110 gallon established tank (sight unseen) and had it moved to our house. It was so caked with algae, you could hardly see in it! We tested the paramaters, and the Nitrates were the only thing unacceptable, but they were off the charts! The substrate that came with it was...

We just invested in a 110 gallon established tank...I've had a 45 set up for almost two years...but I feel as though I'm entering new territory! It came with LR, LS, and a pair of Clowns, we just got it yesterday. The first issue I want to address is the sand. We had a professional move and set...

Strangest thing... I had a pair of False Percula Clowns for a little over a year, and sadly she died. Truthfully, everything in the tank but the male died due to a heater malfunctioning-but that is a story within itself! This surviving Clown is the reason I stayed in the hobby (I was...

You are not going to believe this... I own a hair salon in Lower Alabama, where I have a 45 gallon fish tank. Our State Board of Cosmetology has had some challenges over the last few years, therefore we have not been inspected in several years. Finally my salon was inspected last week, and this...

I have a pair of Percula Clownfish which I've had for about 13 months...I noticed the larger of the two (I assume to be female) is behaving sluggishly and her gills seem to be protruding from her sides. There are no visible parasites, and the other fish is normal. I tested everything in the...

I have a Yellow Tang in trouble...long story short....I did a routine partial water change recently and used tap water-okay bad idea. I treated it first, I thought it was safe. The next day I came to work and the water was cloudy. I ran some test starting with ammonia, it read 2! I did a large...

My Yellow Tang has developed interesting behaviour towards my Coral Banded Shrimp...he stays under a rock most of the time, he was a Christmas gift from a client. I noticed in the last couple of days my Tang is 'picking' on him! She hovers over him and I even saw her grab his leg once. Has...

I tried posting this last week, it got lost or something... My Purple Tang has developed a white speck on the outer edge of his gill, about the size of a grain of sand. Also, a very slight white place on the same side almost on his underbelly. His swimming and eating patterns are normal, the...

I noticed a tiny white spot on the side of my Tangs gill about the size of a grain of salt. There is also a barely visible trace of whitish on the same side almost on his belly, it may even be a scratch. He is swimming, breathing, eating normaly. I added a pair of Percula clowns five days ago...

I posted last week about my Yellow Tang not eating (thank you for the responses!), and I lost him this past weekend. It's so sad and a helpless feeling to witness such deteriation! It seems the bucket incident (my cleaning person used his bucket unbeknowst to me) just triggered a series of...

I have a Yellow Tang in a 45 gallon tank who was seemingly healthy until a bad accident occurred-the person who cleans my salon used my tank cleaning bucket to clean the flooor! When I realized that had happened I did a water change and he was fine, amazingly. I left for vacation the next day (a...
