I have a 55 gallon FOWLR tank that we have had set up for a little more than a year. Its doing well. I recently purchased a 120 gallon tank. My question is this. Can I just move everything to the new tank and add water and be good, or do I have to set up the new tank from scratch, letting it...

did you ever find out the problem? My tang has the same thing...

Wow thanks guys I think I got it! I'm going to get one going soon...One last question how long will initial colonization take for the sponge before I can put it in the QT tank, for optimum results?

Can someone please give me some info on how to start a QT tank, do i use main tank water. Do I need a light, filter, do I do water changes? Any info would be helpful!

Okay I did find the cause of at least one of the fish disappearing. I have a power head that has an "open" inlet, I cleaned it out yesterday and found a body of what I think was a damsel.I added a long hose with holes in it to disperse the suction so that don't happen again. Also my son said he...

Wow I really had no idea. They were in the tank with fish at the fish store you think they might have mentioned it...

Really the anemone??? How could it eat several fish within days?? without me seeing any of it? I can see the anemone plain as day and all of its tentacles and its been high up on a rock since I got it. The Anemone???

Yes that's what I'm saying, I lost a fire goby, a clown and 2 damsels in a matter of 4 days no bodies!!! I know the banded shrimp died and I saw the carcass but the rest of them are just disappearing. What kind of Thing am I looking for and how big could it be?

OK what is ATO and TDS? I also checked the PH early this morning and it was the same as it was yesterday afternoon. 1 more damsel has disappeared overnight!

I can certainly try that but still wondering if the RO water Im using is ok...

Here are the water test results from today sl 1.026 PH 8.2 ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 5 API Saltwater master test kit

Yes I changed the carbon and added it back again 48 hours after the last fish died. I have been doing water changes every week about 5 gallons, and the tank has been fishless for about a month since the last ones died.

Ok Ill restest the water tonight but I can tell you the rest now. 55g tank with at least 60-70 lbs live rock. I have a refugium that has a charchol filter, protein skimmer a large area in the center with a sand bed red algae the microalgae for copepods, I turn the light on that at night. I also...

Ok Guys so you were so helpful to Tang can you help me with the same problem? Only real difference is I have been using RO water I get from the kiosk outside my local supermarket for water changes and mix my salt in there. But I cant keep a fish alive to save my life. Please help my husband is...
