Our boy passed away today, came home from my night shift to find him unceremoniously stuck to the power head . At least the ground isn't frozen yet so I buried him in the back yard. Thanks to everyone who replied.

Hey, Thanks for your replies, He's getting worse but still fighting... I expect he'll pass this weekend didn't eat again today that makes it day number 4... hard to watch but I don't know what else to do...

Hey Folks, Just wanted to ask for some thoughts. My Maroon Clown appears to be dying. I don't think it is sick, I think it is just nearing the end of his days. I have had him for 10 years and he was full grown when I purchased him. He sits all day up at the top left corner of the tank, some...

My bullseye eats every other invert I have tried to keep. He's eaten about 10 cleaner shrimp before I finally figured out what the culprit was. Crabs gone, Snails gone. The only thing he hasn't affected the population of is turbo snails (probably too big) and my cucumber and Urchin. He's going...

Hello everyone, My Maroon clownfish has been lying still all day long, moving very little. He/she did eat today at feeding time but then promptly went back to his/her area and laid at the bottom again moving very little even in full light. I've had the fish for almost 7 years now and i'm...

I'm pretty sure it's not a mantis shrimp, I got it from my supplier and he's always been very reliable. Plus i've not lost any fish which i think i might with the goby dwelling in the same caves and the six line sleeping down below as well. I do add a cap full (8 oz bottle of kent marine iodine)...

Hey sorry for the delay on the response, night shifts... I've lost both blood red cleaners and skunk cleaners, I never find a body, there just gone. temp is 76-78 degrees salinity is 1.026 Ca 400mg/l PH 8.3 No2 0.1mg/l No3 5mg/l my theory is they go down below the rocks to molt and either my...

Anyone else seem to have problems keeping cleaner shrimp? The longest i've kept any over the last 2 years is maybe a month max. I decided to buy a few more recently and the last one disapeared the other night. Now before the water levels people hop all over this I have been able to keep a...

Thanks folks, I think i'm going to leave it uncovered for a bit, see how that works and if I run into problems I'll try some of the suggestions you've added. Thanks again ps, I do have the lights raised up off the tank, and I have ordered the adjustable legs as well.

Hello guys and gals, Just purchased my new coralife 260w lights and can't wait to install them. My question is with these lights being so narrow, what should I do with the uncovered area's at the top of the tank? I previously had a custom made canopy with fluorescent lights. Does anyone use...

Just wanted to get some feedback as to peoples experiences and choices of filters. I am looking at getting a new filter (was running a fluval 304 on a 77g but realize I need a bigger/better filter) Here are the two i'm wondering about Fluval 404 Or filstar XP3 what r your thoughts? Thanks!!

ok, so i just got home from a 12 hour shift that turned into a 14 hour shift... only to find that I have a lawn mower blennie MIA, my flame angel is bottoms up... I have a blood red shrimp sitting in the corner behind some rock with no legs... still alive but in rough shape... my skunk cleaner...

Well, My tough little blue damsel finally kicked the bucket... he cycled the tank survived many of the newbie mishaps (overfeeding amonia spikes etc....) So, now I have an opening in my tank... Here's where I need some opinions... I currently have a 77g tank w/ 1 gold stripe maroon clown 1...

This is my Airedale, Capone, when he was a pup.
