Thank You, I have turned off the lights and floated ice packs, my powerheads are at the top of water line and heater is unplugged. Is it ok to leave my lights off for a week or so until the temp is in check?

I have had my tank since Thanksgiving so this is my first summer with it, I live in Idaho and since its winter 9 months out of the year I have no AC in my apartment well it has been really hot and the temperature in my tank has risen to 92 degrees, we normally keep it at 80, are my fish going to...

My carpet recently died on me, his tentacles were not very sticky to the touch over the last week of this life, and his mouth in the middle was always open, he only looked healthy for an hour or two a day, also it almost seemed like my tomato could sense that he was dying because he did not...

I have a tomato clown that does this all the time, he is constantly picking up singular pieces of the substrate and moving them to the other side, I find it hilarious. We have a long tentacle anenome that he loves, it seems like he is making a better home for the anenome.

I have a tomato (TC) which was the first occupant of my tank, recently we got him a long tentacle and he loves it. The funny thing is how adamantly he protects it against us, he never bothers the other fish but if we stick our hands in the tank to clean he instantly attacks us, it is so funny...

I had 2 mushrooms which have split into 5 now, they just keep multiplying.

I think that my open brain is slowly dying before me, everyday a little more of his skeleton is exposed. The thing that puzzles me is how healthy the living part looks, very vibrant color and has that snotty look to it. Is there anything I can do to reverse this process, water quality is good...

We have had this carpet anemone for a couple weeks and lately, the last two days, it looks really bad. It looks like a wilting flower compared to how it look liked last week. The hole in the center is completely open, about quarter sized, not tight like it was. The good thing is that it...

Well I added about 30lbs of live rock. I am about 90% sure thats what did it. I am going to take another reading right now. I will reply again.

Thanks for everyones help. But, unfortunately the Flamehawk is DEAD. WHA WHA WHA WHA!!!!

Which fish did you have first the bleeny or the flamehawk. We are thinking about taking the blenny out and giving him to our friend for a couple of weeks and then moving him back. The only problem is catching the damn thing, we really do not want to move all of the live rocks, anyone got any...

Thats what I figured. I am going to put the flamehawk in my friends tank until he gets better and until I can get rid of my blenny. Thanks

My nitrates were always around 20-30 ppm, but lately it has risen to almost 50 ppm. Anyone have suggestions on how to lower nitrate, and if 50 ppm is ok?

Got a flamehawk fish yesterday and my sailfin blenny will not leave him alone. The flamehawk is not looking good, his once bright red color is turning white. Has anyone else had this problem with their blenny? Will he stop after awhile? Is my flamehawk dying because he is turning white...

None of the fish pick on each other and they are all small right now so the tank really doesnt appear crowded, but we are thinking that we should probably get rid of the lion, the trigger and puffer are our favorite.

I would definately get a dwarf for your tank. I have a Volitan lion fish with many other fish. I found that as long as the other fish are big enough then you won't have a problem. Funny though, I HAD some damsels.

I haven't added chemicals to the tank yet. But, believe me I will go to the store today and start adding. As for lighting I have 60W full actinic and 60W full spectrum. I will add more light in the future.

I have had this open brain for about 3 weeks. For the first 2 weeks the brain looked great, really large. But for the last week its been looking a little wierd, not as big. I know that none of the fish bother it and it gets medium light and current. Not sure about feeding it and about using...

The puffer is 3-4" and about the size of a baseball when puffed up, the other fish in the tank are a volitan lion, picasso trigger, 2 cleaner wrasse, foxface, tomato, yellow tang, sailfin blenny and a blue devil. The first time I saw him puffed up it looked like the wrasse were bothering him, no...

I just got a sailfin blenny and in only a couple of days he has completely cleaned off a rather large rock. Much more interesting to watch than a turbo snail, a must for any tank.
