    Yellow Tang with Black Ich

    So, I know that my tang has black ich but I am having a hard time catching him. I have been trying for two days to get him out of my DT. I am also scared that I am stressing him out to much by trying to take him out of the DT. He is still acting normal and eating like a pig. Please help!

    Yellow Tang with Black Ich

    So, I am pretty sure that my yellow tang has black ich. I have read all the forms about black ich but I do have a few questions. First, I do have a QT tank and I am planning on putting him in there until it is gone but my QT tank is not large enough for all my fish and it does not appear that...

    Hamilton lighting question

    I was interested in purchasing Hamilton BELIZE SUN 72 inch - 3 x 250w 10K HQI + 2 x 80w T-5 + LED Lights (HQI Electronic Ballast). I have/had a 48" Aqua medic combo but my husband broke the clips that hold in the light bulbs trying to replace the lights. I also have a larger tank than when I...

    Mega-Powerful Nitrate and Phosphate Remover Replaces Skimmer, Refugium, Everything

    It took me over 3 hours to read this thread, with skipping some long ones of course! Lots of good info, look forward to designing mine. One question though: If I keep the light confined to the sheet do I have to worry much about algae "downstream" from my scrubber? I plan to have it mounted...

    LR question

    It is just so weird because the other LR is doing just fine, it is just the one large piece that is covered in slime. I guess I should have known better since I went to a new lfs, instead of our local one who never lies to make a sale. Thanks

    LR question

    I have 125g and I have had the tank up and running for about 7 months. Yesterday, my husband decided to purchase more LR because our local LFS is closing and does not have any more LR so we drove 2 hrs to pick up supplies and of course his LR. The lfs there told us that is was cured LR and 3 out...

    Tang swimming strange

    Since yesterday I have noticed that my yellow tang is swimming weird. He appears to do it after I feed him and the other fish. He will shutter and then swim away really fast. Then he will turn the top half of his body and kinda swim like that and he also has strange bursts of energy. He also...

    Help!! All of my fish are dying

    The 2 clowns have been in the tank for about 9 months, the mandarin we had for 8 months, and the 2 damsels we have had since we started the tank so for over a year. The 2 clowns and the damsels loved to eat, they never missed a meal and that is how I noticed that something was wrong. The...

    Help!! All of my fish are dying

    I have had my tank set up for a little over a year. I have a 60g with 100lbs of lr and 50lbs of ls. I had two mated clowns, two damsels, and a mandarin dragonet. The dragonet was the first to die but then about 2 weeks later I noticed that my clown was acting strange. So, I called the lfs and...

    Help!

    I had the same thing happen to me. It started last week, one of my clowns started breathing heavy, and then two days later I watched it die. Then my other clown did the same thing the next day. The only thing left in my tank are my two damsels which I am certain can live through anything. I took...
