to those of you that have given me tons of advice in the past .. it's really helped I had to move my tank home from the office on Saturday. The fish handled the trip relatively well and I only lost 9 gallons in transport... totally amazing. However, the tank was filthy upon refilling & stirred...

Unfortunately as I've said, I can't do copper or Hypo :( When I left this office this afternoon, they were eagerly eating their mysis and going about things as usual in the tank.. I did notice the clown doing "touch and go's" on the cc, but the tangs were not and happily searching for food...

Originally Posted by abeandlulu I was under the impression that garlic was for finnicky eaters. Vit. C helps keep them healthy. I put in my fish food all the time. JMO. I've always done Zoecon and then added fresh garlic when problems like this occur. I did QT multiple times with my...

should I let the tank stay a little on the warmer side? It's been hanging between 80 and 81. Should I let it warm up to 82? I think I read on another thread a post by Meowzer or Flower about keeping the tank a little warmer?

Originally Posted by abeandlulu Keep them well fed and add some Viatmin C to the food and get a cleaner shrimp and they should be fine. IMO a QT does more harm that good.. It puts more stress on the fish trying to catch them and then putting them into another tank. They eat 3x/day going to go...

My Koran angel is rather funny... When I put my algae sheet up in the clip, I cut the bottom into strips (since the fish usually end up tearing the whole sheet out of the clip at once). The Koran tears off the strip and eats it like a spaghetti noodle. This takes awhile though.. she swims...

This morning I noticed that my clown, tangs, and angel are covered in ich. They eat like pigs and are swimming normally. Thinking back to the weekend, they were breathing a little harder than normal on Sunday, but no signs of anything. I do not have a QT big enough for all 4 fish. Should I...

i find the best resources are websites like this one.. I am still a newbie at this whole aquarium thing, but I try to do what I can to remedy any situation I get into. You should call around to some of the LFS up there in the suburbs and see if anyone will take the fish. Don't expect money...

i'm slowly adding to my reef.. however like some of you, I'm skimmer-less. I need to add more live rock to my DT, but have been trying to do it slowly as I don't want to disrupt anything. Is there a good rule of thumb as to how much should be added at a time? Like CK, I also dose with Ca and...

My tangs got rid of hair algae and hydroids... I almost think they do to good of a job I keep them happy with plenty of algae sheets now that they "cleaned up"

I have some zoo's that look almost identical to the ones below your sixline wrasse's body. Can't remember the name though :(

I love Selcon. I have had great results with it. Runs about $15/each
