Does he have white stringy poop

I’d treat with hypo salinity not copper.

Everything needs to be treated in QT. Then the main tank must be kept fallow (fishless) for 72 days. This is to allow the ich to die off. Unless you have a tank over 100 gal and 6 feet long you have very inappropriate fish and way too many. Min of 125 gal for tangs except the bristletooth tangs.

I’ve always loved the potters angel. I have a flame so a potters is out.

That is a lot of fish for a 30 gallon. Dwarf angels need more space, 70 gal min. Unless you’ve added additional fish since the angel, it is probably a result of aggression. When fish don’t have enough space to claim as their territory they get stressed out and attack their tank mates. The...

We need more info. Tank size Water parameters Tank mates Age of tank Etc

I just paint mine black

I only used it a couple times years ago. It is a crappy test kit. I prefer the Salifert as far as colorimetric titration tests. I use the Hanna checker.

In general chromis are very aggressive even in a big tank. They tend to pick each other off until you only have one left. They are a kind of damsel, After all.

First off you should never cycle with fish. It is very cruel. The ammonia generated during the cycle burns their gills. Kind of like inhaling ammonia vapor into your lungs. I will hurt like hell, make it difficult to breath then It will kill you. I’d suggest you remove the fish and return...

They don’t affect the fish. im sorry I have no experience with that skimmer.

I agree, my first thought was he looks really thin. what size tank and what are her tank mates.

Gel super glue does work. Regular super glue not so much. The only aquarium safe underwater epoxies I’ve seen were in fish stores. The epoxies I’ve used have caused major issues with my skimmer overflowing for days. Personally I’d never use it again.

Here is the best one I could get. It isn’t easy to see it around my return drains. Sorry it is on its side I can’t seem to flip it. There is a layer of sediment on the

I have the same skimmer. Been using it at least 7 years. I don’t ever clean it other than the cup and have seen no issues with its function. I also use the reef octo waste collection container and it fills at a fairly consistent rate.

Don’t mess with your sand bed. It will cause all kinds of issues From the release of hydrogen sulfide gas to screwing up your bio filtration and messing with the tiny critters in the sand that keep the system healthy. the tank is it’s own eco system. Crap on the sand bed is normal, it is in...

Trigger of any sort is an absolute no way in a 40 gal. You need at least a 180. purple reef lobster may harm small fish. In a 40 all you can have are small fish. damsel will harass everything else to death. It is small but vicious. Not even a good idea in a large tank. Cortez rainbow...

You would think so but we still see people using fish. Generally on the advise of their local fish store.
