I was reading a post about bubble wands in tanks and most responses said "Don't" use them because of the increased evapouration ratesand salt building up on your lights. I was wondering, what do most people do with their powerheads? Do you suck air in them, and shoot out bubbles and water? Or...

Anyone ever heard of a Clown fish "taking-to" a Rock Anemone? I've got a cluster of Rock Anemones that are quite large and was wondering if a Clown would "take-to" them? Thanks, Mike :D

Big Dave, thanks for the input. But, what's this MarinOomed stuff? Why do you think I sould use it? What's in it? What's it supposed to kill? Thanks for the help, Mike

Fixit, thanks for the input. No, I don't have sand, I've got crushed coral because I have an UGF. I've found that that gives copepods a safe place to breed, and a result I've got tonnes of them. I have about 40-50 lbs of live rock as well. Fish-wise I've got a fairly active Flame Angel...

Thanks, for the input, I have about 40-50lbs of live rock. Also, there are 2 firefish, a six-line wrasse, and a Flame Angel in the tank, (plus some invert's) all are healthy. Although the Flame picks on the Firefish once and a while, I've never seen it pick on the Mandarin. Is the...

About 2 months ago I bough a Mandarin Goby. I was neverous for the first couple of days until he started eating, but since then and up to a couple of days ago he was doing awesome! Unfortunately over the last couple of days his colouration on his head is very patchy and faded, the rest of his...

I wouldn't be overly concerned about 1 white speck (if it's just ick). 2 months ago I bought a Flame Angel, and he was fine for the first couple of days. The third morning I woke up and it looked like someone had rolled him in salt (covered with ick). Instead of panicking I left him alone for...

I've noticed this as well with my firefish in the mornings (on occasion). I seems to correspond with water changes... At first I thought it was stress, but then I got thinking, when I change water I adjust the powerheads. When this happens the bubbles they produce often increase. Could it...

I've got 1 firefish 1 and half weeks ago and all it seems to do is hide all day long in the liverock. When I first got it, it was out and about, but after a couple of days it was hiding all the time. Is there anything I can do to encourage it to come out? Would it enjoy the company of another...

Thanks for the response Puferlover!! What about garlic in the food I've read that helps. How do you go about adding it to the food though? How much garlic per how much food? Thanks, Mike :D

Hi I have 35 gallon, with +30lbs of live rock, UGF, hang-on filter, and powerheads. I also have 1 6-line wrasse, 1 firefish and 2 fire shrimp. The water quality is o.k. (ph 8.5, ammonia 0, nitrates 0, and nitrate <5 ppm) Last night I adjusted the temperature from 82 to 80 and when I woke up in...

How much garlic should I be soaking the food in? I clove per 1/2 ounce? per ounce? Thanks, Mike :eek:

Yes, I'm pretty sure it was Ich, (white spots...looked like salt). It was probably caused when I dropped the temperature from 82 to 80. However, I say "WAS" as there is no evidence of the white spots when I came home from work. (about 8 hrs. later) I talked to the guy at the local fish store...

I have a 35 gallon tank with an UGF filter, Hang-on filter, and powerheads. I have +30lbs of live rock, 2 blood shrimp, 1 serpent star, hermits and snails. For fish I have a 6-line wrasse and a firefish. This morning the 6-line has 4-5 white spots (fine otherwise, eating, swimming...)...

I've got a 35 gallon tank with liverock, UGF filter and powerheads. I currently have 1 6-line wrasse, firefish and 1 blood shrimp. I'm hoping to have 1 more firefish, 1 more blood shrimp, a Royal Gramma, and a Flame Angel by the time everthing is "perfect". Are these guys safe together? Also...

Hi, I'm new to the hobby and have had a 33 gallon tank set up for about 2 months, 1 have 1 6-line wrasse, a serpent star, 10+ hermit crabs, and about 30+ lbs. of live rock. My water quality is fine, 8.4-8.6 pH, 0 NH3, 0 NO2, and <5 ppm NO3. I have a protein skimmer a UGF with 2 with 2...
