Ok... I have had this tank up and running for about 5 years. Through those five years I have gone through two Ick catastrophe's which killed all my fish but one, my percula. As I was cleaning my tank today I figured why not give it another shot. It's kinda silly to have all the water for one...

A good jewlery with let you look at the diamond through there little magnifying glass. Believe me you can see inperfections and also a good color through that. Cut is also improtant, the more cuts the more sparkle. To me size does not matter, if it a good quality diamond it makes up for the...

Wiped off, that salt has gathered dust and all sorts off stuff that floats through the air( not saying your house is dirty). I just take a scott towel and wipe it off.

Some people maybe think I'm strange but I've found luck with a tupperware bowl. I used to do this when I had Piranha to transfer them to a bigger tank, when there near the water surface and scoop em right up. usually them swin right in.

I have a Ehiem canister filter and dont have a complaint about it. I think it works great. But I stop using carbon in it because it does turn into a nitrate factory. I also have a Whisper filter hanging from the tank to use carbon or phosphate remover whatever I would need. I makes it easier to...

I have a black plastic background. I think it looks great, really make the fish and rock stand out

I have seen a product in the store called salt creep. I am wondering if any one has ever used it. I really dont like the idea of using chemicals near the water but I do have a huge problem with salt build up on the top of the tank. Any thoughts?

I have a question on the compatability of clowns. Are there certain species that should not be kept together? I have a percula in my tank now and would like to get a few more of maybe a different kind, but would also like to avoid any conflicts. Thanx :confused:

I have a friend who has one of these. I have occasionally seen them at my lfs. My friend has had his for about a year, they basically follow the same characteristics as a percula clown, omly there black and white. Same size, striping, etc. I think they look awesome.

I have a FasTest kit I bought from the lfs. I think I paid around $45. Tests Nitrates, Nitites, Ammonia, Ph, and one more I cant think of. Had no problems with it so far, results seem accurate.

I was on a simple mission today for some snails, and hermit crabs, so I thought. I went to the ***** on 95th st, they only have 4 or 6 salt tanks left (only have fish now). I went to the new pet store on 95th and roberts rd, their idea of snails are not even the size of a dime. I ended up at...

He will eat in front of me. Anything the puff wont eat the clown will usually get. I tried chopping krill and feeding it to him, he will lunge at it but still cant open his mouth wide enough. When this finally straightens its self out, what do you recommend to feed him? Thank you again for all...

Other than not eating, he's fine. Swims like a little speedboat. No spots, or cloudy eyes. I sit in front of the tank and he goes through his noraml routine. I run my finger across the glass, he chases it. Stumped :confused:

Still no go. Keeping the faith :)

My puffer has only had ich once, about 4 months ago. There is only one other fish in the tank, no live rock, basically nothing but two fish. They both, for the most part act normal, except for the lack of food for the puffer. The water quality is fine. Still will not eat, I put the syringe in...

Sorry it took me so long. I went to Osco last week and bought a small syringe. Tried feeding him, he's more interested in starting at it. So far no luck. I will keep you posted, Thank you

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!!!! I will check back with you and let you know the progress :D

Sorry, asleep at the wheel. I have had him for about six months, he's apprx. 5 inches long.

I feed hm whole frozen Krill which I have had to break up to get him to try to grab it. I have tried frozen beefheart, and frozen formula two which I chop up in small pieces. He is interested in food, he cant open his mouth wide enough to get it in. :rolleyes:

I have a porcupine puffer that has not eaten in 2 days. He seems to have restricted movement with his jaw. I feed him Krill, beefheart, and formula two. What's the deal? :confused:
