    I had a pregnant one before and we got to see her spawn (is that the right word?) Anyway, she almost jumped out of the tank a few times in the process but it was amazing to watch.

    Overflow To Loud..Suggestions???

    This is what we have and our overflow is almost silent...no gurgling at all. It is just an air tube inserted in the overflow tube to minimize noise. Sorry pic is sideways..

    If it's not ich...what could it be?

    So far nothing abnormal other than the rubbing. It's still lights off in the tank right now so she is sleeping. I feed every second day so I will check today if she eats.

    How much water do I need to save when I move my tank?

    Thanks for the reply... The new sand is clean and in the tank with 120 gal of new salt water. Won't there be some dieoff if most of the water is new?? Some of the rock will go straight into the tank and the rest will go into the sump with the water from the existing tank...just wasn't sure if...
