Bailey, Sorry about your loss. Brooklynella is nasty. Check out the Disease thread for more info. I could not find anything myself but try doing a search. If you have any other fish, watch them. E

Bailey, You really should try to post symptoms so folks like Beth can assist you. It is possible that your clowns have Brooklynella. It is a very fast disease and can kill your fish overnight. Symptoms include whitish peeling skin, long stringy whitish feces and a possible tendency to float...

bluegirl, A 9 gallon also seems a little small for four fish. Could have contributed. How long has the tank been up? E

J, HTH=Hope that helps HTH LOL E

Hey all, I am working on a Pan world pump for my closed loop but the rubber threading don't seem to be matching up with my threaded PVC very well. I can't screw them in for more than a quarter of an inch. This is causing the pump to suck air when I turn it on. Should I just silcone the...

scott9311, Those are some great looking rocks!! E

re_vogel, Depends on the kind of dirt. If it is old salt build up, you can use vinegar and water to remove most of it. E

Djevack, I agree with mitzel. Now would be a really good time to get the initial stages going. Also sit down with a pen and a piece of paper and identify every problem you can think of that may occur with this system, then prioritize the problems. Catastrophic, Terrible, Bad, I Can Live With...

Overflow, I actually use the XM 20K's mogul with dual PFO ballast. I believe we spoke about this before. My ballast is on the other side of the wall and while it does get warm, after 8 hours I can still touch it without it being too hot. My XMs are about 5 inches from the water and My heater...

chasmunch, Does you husband age and heat the water to the correct temperture before adding to the tank? E

reefdweler, Cool!!! You are really chugging along. One note, don't add anymore shrimp. Ammonia that is too high can kill a whole bunch of life on your rock. You may want to do a water change if the ammonia doesn't lower to beneath 1 soon. E

djevack, I think he might have an idea of how he was coming across now and everyone, willing to help, has a new viewpoint. Might be worth it. Later, E

triggerluv, Well, that was graceful and sensible. Its not always easy to take criticism and I, for one, appreciate the effort. Maybe, if you get the chance you could share some advice with djevack about larger tanks. Later E

Triggerluv, I definitely don't mean to make you feel persecuted but I am still curious about some things. if i am i will most certaintly come back and give him some very good information So does that mean you are going to help him with the set up after he has set it up. Seems a little...

AF330i, Are the dots swimming? Maybe they are pods. Is your substrate really fine? E
