I recently added a Chocolate Mimic Tang to my tank. He's never been stressed by the other fish, swims around the tank normally, eats whatever I put in the tank, and grazes. His stomach isn't pinched, but his body is slowly getting emaciated. I can't figure out why. Could there not be enough...

You can't "Like" your own quote. Aside from that anybody who's that desperate to win this contest deserves the free filter socks or whatever the prize is.

Now to upload this profile pic to match.com, sit back, and watch the chicks come to ME!

The long haired guy in the Bulk Reef Supply videos suggested it. Keep in mind when you place them back in the sump you'll have micro bubbles for a few hours until they get thoroughly soaked again (my spin cycle dries them dry as a bone), but they stay unclogged a bit longer. Run a rinse cycle...

Hey, thanks for replying. Actually this has been a blessing in disguise. I find it a lot easier now physically to get down into the guts of the system. It's almost like physical therapy. I wash the socks in my washing machine and they come out almost brand new and stay unclogged a lot longer...

My protein skimmer (Eshopps PSK-200) came with no instructions other than assembly, and there's NOTHING on the internet about it. Ridiculous. Anyway, it was operating fine until I did a(n unnecessary) water change. I shut off all filtration, then when I was done, flipped the power switch to turn...

Just as a follow up I found an article on tangs which mentions HLLE and includes a picture of what it looks like and what I saw on my Powder Blue this morning was nothing like that, so it's not HLLE and right now he looks fine.

It was actually all over the blue portion of his body but it has since gone away as I fed seaweed and spinach to the tank. It was literally just after the lights came on this morning that he was exhibiting those bumps. He's fine now but if they show up again tomorrow I will do as you suggested...

My Powder Blue tang is swimming nicely, picking at live rock, eating voraciously, but this morning I noticed that his normally silky smooth body (the blue part) is all bumpy. Not distinct nodules or anything, sort of like a wrinkled shirt. He's still eating and swimming normally, doesn't look...

I was just thinking today how my LFS doesn't carry nudibranchs! Those things are amazing. Think I'd better read up on care and feeding in case you do make them a featured product.

This deserves some responses! Excellent tank, bro. Exactly what I would do if I did a reef tank, but I love my Angels too much.

Don't forget to watch in HD! For you Moorish Idol fans, I added two yesterday.

It's a good thing you're 15 because you act and spell like one. Go play with your XBox.

Riiiiight, ok. What do you do with your dead fish? I eat mine.

Some of you are kind of thick. I've been doing saltwater tanks for 40 years. I know what I'm doing. The point of my original post is, seeing as how I've never had things run this smoothly before, and I've never had stuff like protein skimmers, UV sterilizers, phosban reactors, etc., should I...

Excellent. How long has the tank been up now? And how long before we get blasted for our animal husbandry skills? :D

I gotta say, I'm shocked. I thought for sure I'd be berated for not adhering to a "proper maintenance schedule". I'm pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the support.

So you do nothing? No water changes? I had success with that before, the reason this tank crapped out 7 years ago was the heater exploded and shorted out and electrocuted everything, otherwise it was doing fine. OK, thanks for your input. Much appreciated. Anyone else?

Thanks. Wonder why I didn't get an email notification for your latest response. Anyway, as suspected my water test today showed that nitrates went back down, so I bought a gorgeous Flame Angel and a Cleaner Wrasse. That's definitely it for the next 2-3 weeks. Back to my original point, let me...

That's odd. No problem here and my brother doesn't have a problem on his phone either. Are you talking the actual image or the storyline? Because there isn't a storyline, it's just short clips shot while my Naso was in camera range.
