I have a maroon clown for about 5 months, he survived my tank crashing 2 months ago. He seems to get these white bumps on him, I thought at one time it was a piece of dead coral on him. It sticks out on his body. I thought he poked himself. It just came back about a week ago. This time he had...

Well , adding the blonde naso was my fault I did not tell them I had the blue tang. The lipstick tangs fins are all chewed up. I just looked in on them and he is swimming and eating. Will his fins heal on their own or should I treat it? I can not put him in the QT tank because thats where the...

I had ick about a month ago and took all the fish out and put them in a hospital tank. My 85 gallon lf only was left empty during that time and some sort of brown stuff formed on the sand. when I tried to suck it up during a water change it looked like i got it all, but when it settled down it...

Jimi, I did a 20% water change yesterday my ammonia was high, I checked it again this morning and it is still high looks like 1.0. what else can be going on? Gen

Jimi I only have it into the little cup. That is the way the lfs set it up. Will it slow down at all? It is not as green as the first day. also the foam has slowed down so I turned the screw a 1/4 turn to produce more. My horseshoe crab just died and my ammonia when up so I had to do a 20%...
