welcome, we sounded just like you guys a year ago, Just a few thought and helpful suggestions that we found out the hard way. 1, live rock must be cured for at least a week before placing in a tank. We use a large bucket with a powerhead( it's used to move water). 2, I don't know what type of...

Just a sugestion, When adding any fish, leave the lights off when u add them and keep them off as long as possible. This will help with stress and the other fish atacking them.

For what it's worth. I have a 75gal tank and have been using a 150 seaclone with great luck. it's easy to us and clean. I think it's worth the money.

We've had our tank for 1 year now and look at us now!!!!! :cheer: We got a new camera and this was a greatway to play! The new Canon Rebel digital is awesome!!!!!

I pre-mix all of my foods together in a glass then target feed with a baster any coral that needs it. I find this helps the overall water quality and the fish love it!

My lighting is fine, I read the hyperlink that was attached, I did start target feeding with a baster. It seams to have helped slow down the death of the coral. I will continue to fed and see what happens. I also premix a solution of foods for everything else and that is working great.

I just started direct feeding and am hoping that helps. My water parameters are right on according to my LFS. The tank, overall, has a very high flow rate due to the amount of filtrations and powerheads. I did read that these coral will sometimes produce a jelly like substance to help trap...

:help: I bought this GREAT Gonipora about 2 weeks ago and put it my well establiched tank. All my fish, inverts, coral are very, very happy. My Gonipora is developing a grey slime towards the base and the coral appears to be dying off from the bottom up. I've tried moving it all over the tank...

I read that u have done several water changes. Heres something to check. many locations have city water or have mineral deposits from well water. We found that our tap water had a high ammonia and nitrite count wwhen tested. We were making numerous water changes and just putting bad water back...

Yeah...I was pretty horrified and have not put in any other fish since. It was something I never knew could happen and wouldn't have believed it unless I actually saw it with my own eyes.

Yellow Tangs are pretty terratorial. My offenders are a yellow tang, tomato clown and a dwarf angel. I"m not kidding: 20 minutes and there wasn't a bone or scale left in the tank. Like a school of pirahannas.

Yup. Mine did. certain types of anemones like to "travel" and if the let loose and try to move, the suction from the intake tubes sucks them in. Put a piece of sponge tube covering over the tube and that helps.

What other fish do you have in your tank? Have they been there for a while? I had the same issue and discovered that it wasn't the anemone but rather the established fish. My clown was gone by morning...not a scale or bone to be found. When I tried it again, I watched it carefully for a...

I've made several orders to SWF.com and have had wonderful luck. Fish are frequently larger than they specify. Only 1 DOA: haitaiin anemone and they reimbursed me.

Walking flypaper...I like it....that's pretty much what he does. He's a riot. I have him in a 75 gal with a fish/coral mix and he's incredibly happy.

My Heniochus is doing better. I took given advice and rearranged the tank, turned out the light but I put Heniochus in a floating basket for a day then released him. He seems to be ok and everyone is leaving him alone so far.....

I have a well established tank with a variety of fish who all seem to get along ok. Yesterday, I put in a Heniochus and he was instantly attacked by my Dwarf Angel! Then, my Yellow Tang went after him!!!!!! I have this poor new comer in an isolation tank now...what can I do about this? What...

I have a Purple Sea Urchin who is extremely happy and very active. He "gathers" as he goes along. He picks up shells, plants, crabs and a Pink Tip Anemone! The anemone loves to go for a ride and is quite happy on top of the urchin. Anybody have any experience with this behavior? :happy:
