Months?!? Wow... Only reason I'm even slightly concerned is every fish I've gotten from this LFS ate the very first time I fed the tank. I'll update this thread as the situation changes.

Yes, no, no, not since it started acting weird, and constantly until I realized the fluctuation in water level in the skimmer affected the sump level. Mind you my routine hasn't changed in all the time the tank has been up. The only thing was that crap Red Reef Rally but even then it didn't...

Thanks for the reply! In the last hour he's gotten a lot more comfortable in the tank, swimming all over and not hiding at all. Looking good. Thanks again!

I have a bit of hair algae on my outflow tubes, and the tangs don't touch it unless I pull it off manually and let it float in the tank, just so ya know. Two Yellow Tangs and a Hippo Tang (big).

I just picked up two huge, absolutely beautiful adult Angels. One is a Blue Face, the other a Majestic. Both are getting along swimmingly (pun intended). The Blue Face adjusted almost immediately. He swims around, is calm, picks at the live rock and sponges, and eats everything I put in the...

AH! The perfect person to ask! My Protein Skimmer (Eshoppes PSK-200) had broken in, and was doing great. When removing the collection cup the foam would always be right at the top, just short of spilling over. But for the last week and a half, the water level has been going crazy (I'll include...

Thanks, but, again, I'm not going anywhere!:eek: I was just curious about the possible benefits of not feeding the fish a day here or there, like a fast.

Then I must be Superman because, just out of pure ANGER, I opened it finally. My LFS lent me this rusty old plumbers wrench but when wrapped around the lid the two handles were too far apart to grab with one hand. When they installed the reactor they glued everything so it's basically...

I hope this is the right forum, I don't see any specifically for equipment. I have a Two Little Fishies Phosban Reactor 550 on my tank. The bio-pellets are worn down and it's time to add some more, but I can NOT open the damn thing!! It's hard enough getting into the position I have to in order...

ok, thanks for the info. It's been more than a day, though. Further inspection tells me it might be a non-lethal fungus that I can treat in tank. Cheers.

I have a juvenile blue face angel (with adult coloration. Looks really cool). The Queen Angel gave him hell at first, but he's a trooper and kept on eating and swimming, mostly among the rock to avoid detection. Once in a while he would come out and the Queen would go after him and he'd dart...

I've found that the more they anticipate a meal the less naturally they behave. I like when they weave in and out of the rock work. I hate it when they see me and all gather at the top of the tank waiting for their handout. This morning for example, rather than feeding them when the lights came...

This reminds me of a question I've thought about. Say, for example, your tank does get infected with Ich, and all your fish die except a group of chromis and some black and white damsels, who show no signs of infection and continue on in normal fashion. As long as they're in the tank...

Sometimes? I'm running a regular asylum over here!!! :confused:

No, they leave him alone. Nobody bothers him, not even my PITA Queen Angel. Some good news. Not that the two should be related but I bought two sponges today, along with coral food, and calcium and alkalinity booster since I now have a pretty impressive collection of mushrooms, button polyps...

When I google that all I get are articles on going on vacation and how fish CAN survive a few days without food. What I want to know is, is it beneficial to go a day without feeding your fish once in a while, or even regularly, like once a week?

I've tried the clip route. The nori flapping in the current just scares them. Ridiculous, I know, but for some reason I have a tank full of cowards. So I have to tear off a piece and let it drop down and they'll usually attack it before it hits the bottom. I've found if I thoroughly soak it in...

If you mean 24 hour access to the Nori sheets, no. None of the fish will eat it clipped to the tank, they all seem afraid of it. I usually fill a small cup with tank water and soak a sheet, then tear off pieces (otherwise it's the floatiest food on the market and always floats towards my...

When my tank was able to handle a load of 3 new large fish I added a Queen, an Emperor and a Majestic Angel. They all got along fine. Then I had a tank disaster (the covers that came with my tank package sealed tight and kept oxygen out and carbon dioxide in, wiping out most of the tank). The...
