That's a great deal! Just be responsible about the Chichlids!

Hey everyone! I moved my frogspawn about 5 days ago, and didn't realized that Acropora and FS don't get along. Long story short, I found the frogspawn touching my acropora, and now the acropora's tissue is starting to recede. Is there anyting I can do to stop this? Dip? Thanks, timbo

I recently made a large batch of SW, 20 gallons, and took all of my rock out and put it into the tub. In the tub, you can rearrange and then rearrange your rock work again, without the threat of breaking your tank glass (i tend to drop the heavier rocks by accident). I tried my best to re-work...

Well, I think it's very important that we understand the process in which sponges grow. 1 day later, the sponge seems to be "re-growing" with no ill-effects. Now I don't understand why this happened to begin with, however I plan on keeping this page up to date with it's progress since there is...

I've had this beautiful pink sponge in my tank for about 6 months (when I found it)- Last night it changed drastically- Is this normal? I've never seen it change before... The sponge itself has semi-deflated, and grown these "spikes"- It's so pretty, I'm hoping that its not dying... anyone?

Sorry beth! I didn't see your response! It's a round patch- almost looks like something on her skin... it's not her color fading...maybe like a dried milk dot? I think that's the best way to describe it. maybe a blotch of powder? I'm trying my hardest to give you a description... maybe I'll try...

bump... any more feedback? .... Beuhler?

as a matter of fact, I have been noticing her "stretch" her gills and fins a lot... could that be an indication of something?

I too think it is some sort of irritation... She has had it before, and it disappeared on it's own after a few days... My concern is that the yellow tang died, and two months earlier, I had a blond naso tang (which looked in perfect condition) up and died for no reason exhibiting the same...

Hey everyone... I've had a blue hippo tang for almost 9 months now... My tank is just about a year old. 55 gal- I had a 1.5" yellow tang die recently in the tank (from the special on SWF.com), and I think it had a bacterial infection. My blue hippo tang has a white spot oh her that almost looks...

Thanks for your help with this Joe- your article was great... however, how am I to know if this was potentially the cause? I'm watching the behavior of my other fish to be indicative of problems... oddly enough, I had noticed all of the inhabitants hiding for the past coulple days- finally last...

Yes, I run carbon every two weeks...

is this of concern for the other members of the tank? Should I treat? I also have corals-

so my new acropora are at risk... hmmm. My acro's are "above wind" in the water column... is that ok?

Hey guys- I bought one of SWF's yellow tangs when they were on special... remember the 1" little tangs? well, I had him for about 4 months and noticed that he didn't grow much... He ate healthy, however never gained any weight- he always looked emaciated to me. well, long story short, last...
