I, too, am curious to know if anyone has a link for checking out pictures of fish with different diseases. It would definitely help those of us who aren't exactly sure what it is we're seeing. Sorry about your fishes, Drew. :( :( :( Hopefully you'll find help here!

Right now I have two firefish (magnifica) which are doing wonderful! They are always together. They were purchased at the same time, from the same tank at the LFS. I also have a coral beauty in the tank with them. (38g tank). They all live in the same hole in the same rock! I used to have...

Well, I went to one LFS, but all they had were the kits we've given a thumbs down to. I'll have to try a different store tomorrow. I don't know that I've seen a Kordon kit, but then, maybe I just wasn't paying attention. :D I agree with you Sam. It was really hard to tell a difference in...

I appreciate your input, Captain Ed. I'll check out some of my LFS to see if I can find them. Hopefully I won't have to pay *choke* $60 or so, but if that is what it takes to get accurate readings, so be it! Thanks again..... ;)

GOOD LUCK, ERIC!! Where might you be moving to in NC?

Alright, I've gotten my hands on some baaaaad test kits recently. A bad Sera ph test kit caused me to lose some fish. Now I find that I've gotten my hands on not one, but TWO, bad ammonia test kits. One was a Sera, and the other an Aquarium Pharmaceuticals. (The Sera kits were 50%...

I'm not too far from you, Phucker. :p I live between Lexington and Winston-Salem. Come on people! There have to be more NC members! <img src="graemlins//silly.gif" border="0" alt="[silly]" />

Sorry to sound so dumb...but....how, exactly, do you know when your tank is cycled? When all parameters meet a certain criteria, etc? Someone told me that when I start to see nitrates (which I am, 5) that my tank has cycled. Can you guys kind've clarify this for me? Thanks. Shelley <img...

Thank you all for your suggestions. The bar goby has since passed... :( The two firefish are still doing great though. How is it that they are doing so well? I have done water change. Ammonia is still .25. Calcium 250. Other parameters are normal. (They are posted in earlier replies...

...and what's the deal with using a shrimp to help cycle the tank? How does that work, and how would I go about it? <img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" />

Terry, Alkalinity is approximately 3.2 meq/l. Calcium is approximately 250.

I will check my alkalinity and calcium levels this p.m. when I get home and let you know. Thanks to you guys for your help!

Okay. I hope I give all the info needed to help. If not, fuss at me, and I'll add more! :D 38 Gallon tank with 2 firefish and a bar goby. 30 pounds of live rock. 4 mushrooms. Prizm skimmer. Penguin 330 Bio-wheel. One maxi-jet powerhead. Ammonia is .25. All other parameters are normal. Tank...

The same thing just happened to me. I had a lemonpeel angel who was doing fine on Saturday. Sunday he just kind of hung out in one area of the tank for the most part. When he did swim, I thought he seemed sort of shaky or jerky. This morning he was found on the bottom of the tank...deceased...
