Thanks for the advise. This past weekend I'd done a 20% WC and always age my water (RO/DI) with salt a minimum of 48 hrs. He does have a small abrasion (from a couple weeks ago). I'm not sure how it happened. So I started with garlic in the brine and the big water change this past weekend...

Thanks for responding. I've been reading a little more about this problem in "The Conscienious Marine Aquarist", by Fenner. He mentions a disease called "head and lateral erosion" and it's common amoung Angels and Tangs. I may need to try and give the flame vitamin C & D. Have you ever had...

I posted a thread a few days back obout my flame angel with white and puffy lips. The fish was eating/swimming normally, so the one response I got was to "keep an eye on him". Well, now the end of the gills are turning white and there appears to be a white line that extends from the gills...

Last night I noticed my Flame Angel had white lips that were also swollen. I did a water chenge in the morning and the Flame seemed fine. I had just placed a Bulb Tipped anemome (for my maroon clown) in the tank about an hour before I noticed the lips on the Falme. Could the Flame been stung...

I asked my LFS the best place to put it in the bak-pak that I have and they had me put it in the protien skimmer. The bak-pak does't really have a "normal" place to put anything like a sponge. I have taken the sponge out with hopes of lowering the phosphates with water changes and better water.

Thanks for you suggestions. My LFS come up with the same reading I did. Shouldn't using distilled water cut down on the phosphate within the tank?

I used a sponge, off hand, don't remember the brand.

Here's my problem...I have alot of algae (brownish green) growth on the sides of my tank. The past couple weeks, I've been doing water changes (5%) using distilled water (I just purchased an ro/di unit) to try and cut the algae growth. I had a high phosphate (.1 ppm), that's why I went with...

I started my 38 gallon tank 3 1/2 weeks ago, since then I've found out that my phosphates are at .1 ppm and I want to reduce that by filtering my water throuhg an RO system. I do small water changes (2-3 gals.) weekly, so I don't need a big gpd RO system, but I want a good one. Which...
