Hey Pegasus- thanks for sharing that info. great idea! I have hermit crabs and every morning they throw my corals off the rocks. its irritating because my coral frags have yet to attach:)

Pegasus ** why do you have screen rubber banded to the rock in photo 3?

hi, if your feeding three times a day then you should get some shrimp to help eat excess food. i heard you only need to feed once a day. i also heard that fish can go ip to six days with out eating. i would clean your filter more often, with more food and poop in the tank, its going to sit and...

I would add nite out. it adds bacteria to your tank that convert ammonia to nitrite to nitrate.( some one correct me if I'm wrong) then do ten percent changes 1-2 times a week till your nitrates go lower. I did this method for starting my tank and the tank stabilized in a month and a half. but I...

http://www.chucksaddiction.com/ich.html I'm going to get a hospital tank today I hope.

I read that the organisms that cause "ich" need the night to complete their life cycle. so what if I left the lights on with daily cleaning and water changes? I think it would mess up their cycle. it would create lots of sites in the tank but its ok. I would rather have sites than ick

No, not the white glob, the whole fish used to be velvety black. they have two white spots. now the fish is grey and one of his spots looks translucent. What ever is happening to the fish looks like white spots, then they start loosing their color, then die. if I have ich I don't want to get my...

Wll I'm using test strips, so my guess is my ph is good. my ph went below 8.0 about 6 weeks ago. yeah there's salt like spots on the black fish, and fins. this sucks and is so discouraging . my tanks only three months old and when I finally see results from my cycling doing well and becoming...

0 nitrites 0.5 nitrate 7.5-8.2 on ph,240 carbonate hardness

Yeah, well since posting two days ago 2 fish died. two look sick. The fresh water dip helped for the rest of that day. I think my fish have ich. I herd you can turn the water up to 85 degrees and add 1 tbl spoon salt per gallon. and keep the fish in the hospital tank for ten days. is this true...

The strips are API brand

I went to the fish store. my water test great my salt was 0.125 I think. I showed the guy who I always see and he said that my fish look like they had a cold. that they were covered in a film. so he said do a fresh water dip for three minutes. I did that but they don't look much better

I bought the test strips. but I don't trust them... so every week I go to where I get my aquarium supplys(mixed water, live rock, live stock) and have them test my water as well as check out new animals. I have been testing my water every few days with the strips at home. Every week for the past...

My ph was good. The you at aquarium depot looked at my salinity and said its low bit ok for fish not for corals which I have not added any. my tanks two months old. I started feeding my fish brine shrimp because I thought it would be tasty for them and more real. but last night I Fed them...

Yeah. I hope so. the colors coming back a bit. can low salinity cause them to do this?
