    What am I doing wrong?

    Cleaning old sand basically makes it new. All the good stuff in it , got washed away. Alot of old sand can build up toxins, however a handful added to new sand is beneficial in seeding the new sand

    What am I doing wrong?

    You could bump the sg up a bit for corals but you have no issues w them. The fish issue, can be as simple as your just getting bad fish or as difficult as it is you or your tank. Yellow tangs are a hardy fish , so him living isn't extraordinary. You say you do the drip, do u actually test the...

    First introduction accident! Damaged Red Firefish Goby :(

    Most reef safe meds just don't work. If its ich it will return. Cooper and hyposalinity are the only two ways to really treat ich. Hopefully it wasn't tho.

    First introduction accident! Damaged Red Firefish Goby :(

    This unfortunately is why u must qt all new fish. Your problem now is all ich cures will also kill all your inverts. Your only real option is to set up a qt tank. Then treat your fish in that. Ich is rampant this time of yr, I believe bc fish are stressed even more from winter temps and shipping

    I have a pseudo that after a yr started beating my fire fish up. Lots of tail damage. Put the fire in my big tank, 3 days later tail was almost perfect again

    Fire fish are skittish by nature, hiding is normal. The aggression tho could be an issue. Damsels can get nasty. My yellow tail is a nice fish w no issues, but its housed w a maroon clown and dwarf lion lol

    should i make the switch to aggressive?

    Generally consensus they play fine when young. Once mature its a gamble. Some say its like a light switch flipped and they kill everything. Very nice looking trigger tho

The general catch in my area for ice fishing are yellow perch, walleye, sunfish, northern pike, trout, and steelhead. Idk if your familiar w steelhead, there...

    Oh nice. I have never caught a flounder. I haven't been fishing in awhile. I always say I will if I get a deer during bow, but never do lol. Last couple yrs I was ice fishing by now. The mallard was nice, there one of my target ducks so I've never had the urge to mount one bc I wouldn't get...

    Ha ha it ends here, Sunday. We finally got cold weather so the ducks have started to show up. Rt in time for the end of the season! ! It was a drake mallard. I would like to get a canvas back or red head mounted. My buddy wants a drake woodie, for us its early season (oct) to get those.

    Duck hunting sucks this yr, it hasn't been cold enough to move them. I got 1 mallard last week. Geese are all over but not where I can hunt them. Bow season was excellent, I got a doe and a 7pt. Gun I didn't get shit lol I could have shot a small doe, but didn't.

    should i make the switch to aggressive?

    Aggression sucks lol large fish very nice. Aggressive fish can rule a tank, even w other "aggressive" fish. Eventually u have one or 2 nasty suckers left. My advice go w large fish but not overly aggressive ones. My aggressive tank consists of a yellow tail damsel, dwarf zebra lion, Valentine...
