Are there fish that will consume these as well as other forms of food? My tank is only a 38g, so I doubt seriously I could get a mandarin goby... :( What other choices are out there? My tank is FULL of them. At least I'm 99% sure that's what they are! I don't mind them, but if they are...

I have some unidentified fishy organisms! In the past few days I have noticed these tiny little creatures on my substrate and around my live rock. They go nuts when I feed my fish, scampering around scavenging for falling food. Quick little boogers. Hard to get a good look at them. They are...

How often do your peppermint shrimp molt? I've had mine 3 weeks and it has molted at least twice that I have noticed. Is this normal or is a stress thing or something?

My Calcium is at about 240 right now. I need some help on raising it. I have Kent Liquid Calcium and some C-Balance on hand. I've been adding this stuff, but no rise in levels. What do you guys use to raise your calcium levels?

I've got one piece of live rock in particular (although all are affected) that looks like someone has dumped a full vacuum cleaner bag of dust on top of it. I mean, if this was an end table, it would be like not dusting for a couple of months. What is it exactly? Can I clean it off or should...

Has anyone here injected aiptasia <img src="graemlins//yell.gif" border="0" alt="[yell]" /> with vinegar? If so, how did it turn out?

My naso tang went kaput in a 24 hour period. I noticed white specks on his fins and "brow line" on Wednesday night. Thursday he was hanging out at top of tank but still seemed okay other than specks. Thursday afternoon he was covered with a lot more specks and started breathing heavier/more...

Does anybody use this stuff? The LFS recommended it to me to raise my calcium levels. I was going to get the Kent brand of Liquid calcium, but got the C-Balance instead. What do you guys use as calcium supplement?

Is ich the only thing that looks like salt on fish? Could it possibly be undissolved salt or dust from substrate or something? Does Ich start on fins first? My parameters are all normal. Fish are eating great. 2 of them haves specks on them. No scratching. No cloudy eyes. No letargy. No...

YOU'RE NOT KIDDING! WOW! CAN I ASK WHAT LFS'S YOU GO TO? AS YOU WELL KNOW, LEXINGTON IS DEFINITELY NOT THE MOST HAPPENING PLACE, BUT IT'S HOME! EVER HEARD OF REEDY CREEK/ARCADIA...THAT'S WHERE I LIVE....BLINK, AND YOU'LL MISS IT! WHERE EXACTLY DID YOU GROW UP/LIVE?

I know next to nothing about this, so I need a little help. Our tank is pretty much a FOWLR right now except for 4 mushrooms and a green star polyp. A friend said that with the lights we have right now only the soft corals should be kept. We are getting new lights/canopy Saturday. I don't...

In general, do Naso Tangs get along well with Dwarf Angels? Specifically, a Coral Beauty? What about with firefish? I am curious as I plan to buy a much larger tank in the near future and would like to have a Naso to go with my Coral Beauty and 2 Firefish.

Hey guys... Just wondered if anybody had any pictures or links to pictures of fish with the various diseases. It sure would help those of us who haven't actually seen these signs/symptoms know how to diagnose. There is a post under the disease/treatment board, but noone is responding thus far...

Alright, I've gotten my hands on some baaaaad test kits recently. A bad Sera ph test kit caused me to lose some fish. Now I find that I've gotten my hands on not one, but TWO, bad ammonia test kits. One was a Sera, and the other an Aquarium Pharmaceuticals. (The Sera kits were 50%...

Sorry to sound so dumb...but....how, exactly, do you know when your tank is cycled? When all parameters meet a certain criteria, etc? Someone told me that when I start to see nitrates (which I am, 5) that my tank has cycled. Can you guys kind've clarify this for me? Thanks. Shelley <img...

Okay. I hope I give all the info needed to help. If not, fuss at me, and I'll add more! :D 38 Gallon tank with 2 firefish and a bar goby. 30 pounds of live rock. 4 mushrooms. Prizm skimmer. Penguin 330 Bio-wheel. One maxi-jet powerhead. Ammonia is .25. All other parameters are normal. Tank...
