This is an update now that I am three weeks into this situation. More small white dots have cropped up on the other side of the fish exactly on the pore line. Meanwhile the original spots have receded, and are leaving behind faded areas. Now I'm thinking this is HLLE. I am now on a cycle of...

Sorry, I was tired when I posted, so I edited the data. Here's the full dataset: 109,518 hit by gunfire 30896 dead 12791 by murder 16883 by suicide 360 by police action 642 by accident (154 children) It doesn't report how many of those hit by gunfire or killed by accident were "self-defense"...

My experience with ich is that the salt-like spots are small and not well raised above the skin. These really look like whiteheads - a well defined round white pimple, not really cottony at all. Also, my experience with ich is that the salt-like markings appear fairly uniformly distributed on...

This is a relatively new addition, a Barbonius anthias, and he is showing raised pimples over his eye, and a smaller one further back on the lateral line. He is eating well, and is active. Tank parameters: 40 gallon breeder with 20 gal sump, live rock Assorted corals, inverts and 1 orchid...

Place heavy angle iron strips across 2 beams, and put the tank on the irons. This distributes the weight over two beams, making it less likely that your tank will wind up in the basement.

Many of us use base rock, the equivalent of your "dead" rock. Base rock is used as filler, but you will need some truly live rock to bring desirable hitch hikers into your tank and to seed it with desirable bacteria. You will have to be patient if you use base rock to give the rock time to...

3241523 I. The sides of the tank are not parallel in your pictures because the camera lens was not parallel to the front of the tank. Frame the tank with the center of the tank in the center of the image, and be sure that the back of the camera is parallel to the tank front and the corners...

I have had the 75 gpd model for at least 3 years, and it is fine - good water, easy to maintain.

Could be. He hosts in another frogspawn, but didn't for the week in transition from home to the office, and for the first few days after we set up the tank. He has been flashing through the frogspawn, so maybe he is getting stung in the hosting process. Thanks for the good idea!

This clown has been in the tank for about 2 years. We just moved the tank to my office, and he has developed these dark markings on his body. He is eating well, and is active. He is the only vertebrate in the tank, and has been for several months. Any ideas?

I had freshwater tanks for much of my life. In the mid 70's I was just finishing my Ph.D., and had some time on my hands when a lfs opened down the street from my apartment. I started working there part time while I wrote my dissertation. The owners wanted to establish a marine section, but...

Like any tool, the cell phone is only what its owner makes of it. I have a "no live cell phones" policy in my classes. If a cell phone rings, the student is banished from class for the day. If a cell phone rings o ra student uses one during an examination the exam paper is immediately...

I once had a large volitans try to eat my spiny boxfish, and the thing inflated in the lionfish's mouth. They were stuck together, and I had to remove the fish from the tank and pry the puffer out using a clam knife. The lion lived another 3 years, the puffer 2 years.
