Thank you for info. Will keep lights off for a few days, maybe just leave on the led lights that are blue. Will not feed for a few days also. Then put the lights on for only a few hours a day. I also think the lights where bleaching out the lion fish, his strips became very pale and he always...

will try to get photos, thks. Getting worse since I put new lights on top of the tank.

Hi All, I got a new light system It is a coralife, with actinic, regular lighting (daylight) and the blue LEDs which mimic nighttime. Since I have this light on the tank, I have more brownish looking stuff in the tank. Looks neat on the rocks, but why do I have that, It is even on the...

Hi saxman, I found so many live phytoplankton, Didn't find phyto 2, where did you purchase your phyto 2. Also read about DT is that better, they say it smells badly. So help please, where do I find either one of these. I went online to the online stores, and found so many products, non saying...

lol hope the lion fish, doesn't spit at me that would be something.So I was right 3 x a week. cool, I love the lion fish.

I will try and find live phytoplankton. Thought maybe the clove polyp needs food or something. Still not opening. Been a week. Can it take more than a week to open. Thks for the help

Good that was what I was doing, then read that some folks feeding their fish, like yellow tang and clown, along with angels, at least once a week. Some are feeding their fish several times a day. I thought that was too much, so I am doing something right lol. Thks

yep he eats fresh shrimp I break off small pcs to give him. Thanks for all the help

Been awhile since I posted about my Lion fish. He is a pig, always begging for food. I know he is begging, he stares at me. If I ignore he he will actually yawn at me. My desk is by the tank, he is staring at me now and all the time. He does bully some fish in the tank, but generally leave him...

What is ideal temp to help this clove polyp to grow?? my anemone is growing nicely. Is this polyp in shock, maybe

Ok realized it was spelled polyp, right after I posted it. Well guess might take more days for it to open. As long as it is not passing into polyp heaven, or death. I do not feed my tank, I was told to put in fuel liquid food, whatever that is. So what can I safely feed my tank with???

Not sure if right place for my question. I purchased a nice sized clove polop (or is it polup). Anyway it was open nicely in shop. Still waiting for it to open up in my tank. I heard could take weeks for them to open. Told it likes lots of light, so at top of tank, in the water flow. It was in...

Well it never shows itself. It is usually under the sand. Do they swim. Not sure but other day it got caught up in the power heads moving water. He was swimming then. Thought he was eaten by the niger trigger, but it is still around. Gotten bigger since I put it in the tank. Well been days since...

Well if it comes out I might trade him to the store. He eats all my crabs I put in, didn't eat my horseshoe. He is a beautiful fish. Can't keep corals or anemone with him around. He has been gone for days. So I wonder about him. What you said is true, it would of swam away if I was about to put...

So maybe I didn't crush it or put rocks where it couldn't come out. He was bad always ate any cleaner shrimp or crabs, Didn't even stop to thank you for dinner. It was beautiful though. OK thanks for advice. No more moving rocks around until I am doing a water change. I will have to find that 2...

Hi, I have done so me changes to my tank. I did move some rocks. Didn't realize that toxins get trapped under rocks and you can release them. I had to rearrange them, because they did topple over and crushed my Blue Hippo Tang, it was sad. So I did stabalize the rocks better, which I will come...
