I doubt it was the water. If salt. & pump added night before shouldn't be an issue. Correct me if I am wrong but don't puffers release toxins into tank if stressed or dying ? I have heard they can wipe out a whole tank. Maybe research that ? If this happened it could explain the black ich...

I so feel and hear your pain. I am so very sorry. This is devastating. Agree with @beth completely, you must look at what was added in the last month or so, even down to a rock or coral. Check your RODI water, or you conditioner if using tap water. take some water the the LFS and have them...

hi at @beaslbob couple of examples Red gone $220.00 Clam $240 Cheeapest elegence coral $79.00 Live rock $19.99 per kilo These 3 coral alone $540.00. Obviously cant survive without water changes so must be done frequently and then alk cal mag depletes as well, so although water changes...

Ok. Well I run a 400g change I change 250lts each change every 3 weeks.

Thank go for your comment. I thought I was going crazy. Lol. I spend a bomb but have something I am really proud to have. Thank you

I wish Urghhh. !!!!!

Sounds well thought out. We love the corals & as you can see we have 50+ in our tank. So yes a huge investment. But we really enjoy the colour & movement so we have to pay the price for it. :)

Red gills, not ammonia burn by any chance ?

This is a super special here. Don't know how the hell you get salt for $40.

I would like to know the secret to NOT spending $$$ Please tell.

Oh my god ! I am so sorry. Heartbreaking. It's so hard when you don't even know what your dealing with. That's what makes this hobby suck at times. Sorry fur your losses :(

Dreams are a good thing to have. Work hard to make it happen. Then you live with NO regrets

Your very right the custom tank & sump are the cheapest part. The stand. & equipment is the killer. You also have to look at ongoing cost of a larger system. Water changes, electricity, dosing, ATO water. All add substantial costs as you get bigger. I don't regret it but I look at people doing...

OK. Not a great picutre of clown, but I have to say the discoloration on the white stripe on the head looks like bruising, it also looks hit along the side of the body. This is a picture of a clown that has suffered aggression. very similar. There is a great thread on this site with great...

lol.....i bet if you went 210g a couple of months later you would be regretting it, and saying Darn we had the room wiish I had gone bigger. We are wishing we had gone 3.5 wide instead of 2.5 wide, because we had the room to spare. You would regret it too, i am positive

HI, I appreciate you not being mad a me. I am still questioning a totally stressed out tank, deteriorating fins ? Could this be in fighting, I know people often say "no tank is peaceful as " but often aggression will happen at night. Particularly with yellow tangs, yellow tangs will nip first...

When ever I have to re-stock the supplies(rowa, test kits, carbon, supplements etc ) and the bill runs into hundreds of dollars just to do maintenance, i do sometimes think, what the hell. I have mentioned a few times that things in aussie are dreadfully expensive for reefing/salwater. We...

No questions. QT immediately. Can recover in a non threatening environment. Not compete for food when feeling unwell. Turn lights off to help keep calm. I am really sorry to say this but this tank is far to small for a nasso. Recommended size 180g or larger.LFS that sold him too you should...

The yellow tang is showing a ton of aggression to your blonde. That would be stressing him very much as well. Is there any way you can separate them at all, so the nasso has time tor recover in peace. The yellow is backing up on him in both videos, its only a matter of time until he strikes...
