Thanks for the advice, as i said - any gratefully received! What else do i need for a QT?

No we didn't. Our LFS is pretty good and they keep their fish for a good few weeks before they are put up for sale and he was healthy when we got him. We called them today and said it sounds ike stress so i'm trying to do anything to chill him out and encourage him to eat. Were pretty new to the...

It's 350L so ~95 gallons

Hi Guys, Need some help pretty please. Had a young naso tang for about 4 weeks now. He is less than 4" long. He aclimatised really well to the tank, was picking off the live rock and eating well. A couple of weeks ago we noticed he had all but stopped eating and has gotten very skinny. We have...

Oh and some live brineshrimp every week or so, just to mix it up. His housemates are 1x puffer, 1x yellow tang. 2xdamsels, 1xunidentified (!!! but very very docile and solitary, definately no stessing coming from him!) 1xlobster who lives in a whole, 1xhermit crab. None of the others seem sick

We feed a range of frozen food, such as brine shrimp and spirulla, brine shrimp and garlic, artemia, "nanocuisine"(???) and green seaweed. PH 8.3, ammonia and nitrite virtually zero, and nitrate ~20ppm

Oh, and we noticed him getting darker in colour last night nad he's very dark today apparently

My bf just phoned and apparently our Naso Tang is being a bit wierd at home! We got him about a month ago and right away he started eating fine and seemed to settle in really well. But after a couple of weeks he seemed to stop feeding and got really skinny. He also seemed a bit disorientated...

Thanks very much, that is really helpful I will probably take some fishies back to our store this weekend when we pick up water as when we bought the tank it already had 10 inhabitants. I think it had been going a while - more than a year and everything got very stirred up during the move so i...

ok, so my nitrate problem isn't fixed. Here's the details: I have a 350L (~93 gallons). We have a fluval 305 running on it which is well established, and also a fluval 405 which has been going for a week and a bit. We also have a V2 800 skimmer and a pump to circulate the water on top...

Update!! :) the new skimmer appears to be helping alot and with another water change nitrate have come down to about 20ppm (the tests are a bit ambiguous!!) but mush improved :) :) Fishes look happy anyway! :)

Really? All i've read so far is how dangerous they are for the fish (but im only a beginner so advice is very welcome!!!) Like i said they seem pretty happy at the moment, i just dont want them to get sick over time :( (or be unhappy fishes!) I might try cutting back on the feeding and another...

We do have a pump as well that circulates the water at the top of the tank, 2 fluval filters, a 305 and a 405 and the skimmer but that's all. We have live sand as substrate. Inside the fluval we have the sponges, carbon and the biological media....i may have to get back to you, my other half put...

Well we are still getting used to the tests but it is so vibrantly pink i would say it is nearing 110 which is awful! :( After we did the water change it was virtually zero (very very pale pink tinge to the test) but it has shot back up again. the fish dont seem destressed at the moment but i am...

Nope not really, (i dont think!) there is never any left at all, they always eat everything thats put in. We feed frozen food and occaisionally brine shimp but feed max 3 frozen blocks a day, one in the mornng, one about 4 o'clock and one in the evening. I wasnt sure if maybe, because we havent...

We have one clown, 2 yellow tail damsels, 5 blue green chromis, one yellow tang and one dart fish (we think, he's a bit of a mystery)

Hi, I hope someone can help me and my poor fishes!!!! My partner and I recently aquired a fully set up 350L tank complete with fluval 305, ~ 30 kilos live rock, live sand and 10 fish. The chap we bought it off of didnt sell it with a skimmer, so that is basically the set up we bought. Since...

Oo er, thanks for the tip - it only came with one so i'd better look into that sharpish!!!

Thanks mrdc!!!!!!! you are an absolute star!!!!!

Thanks very very much for that!! That is exactly the sort of thing i needed to know, thanks for the detail - that answers the questions that have been spinning around in my head!!! I'm so excited about getting a tank - my partner and i have been thinking about it for a while so i want to make...
