I have a birds nest coral that has died a sad slow death. It came with a small arco crab inside of it when it was purchased. If I remove the birds nest from the tank will the arco survive and find a new home or does it need this? Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

I too agree with the 6-8 week timeframe. Plus, don't add anything else including inverts or corals to your dt during that time, ich can travel on those too. I made that mistake myself.

Okay, I will definately add the salt with the water from the tank. The reason I did the water change with new water was because the nitrates are high and I was trying to get rid of those as well as adding the salt. From this point on I will make sure that any new water is exact in ph...

I will let him adjust for a day or two. I have one power head in the tank. It is a 29g so hopefully that will be enough. Before when the salinity raised the fish seemed to be okay, didn't look stressed or have a hard time breathing, the set up is still the same. I will keep a close eye on...

Originally Posted by sepulatian Let him adjust. Leave the SG as is tomorrow. Is the new water well mixed? You said you did a 30% change, was that water at your current salinity? Are you doing one large change every twelve hours, or pulling some water out and then dribbling in water that is...

Does he have a chance at this point? Anything I can do for him?

Okay, this hasn't happened before. I was at 1.008 when I started two days ago. I went up 2.5 points the first day and about the same today. I had a hard time getting it just right, I was shooting for 2 points a day, 1 point every 12 hours with a water change each time. What should I shoot...

Hello everyone. Most of you know I have been working to rid my tank of ich. My kole has been in hypo conditions for many weeks. It had a comback after two weeks in hypo and I had to start the time clock over again three weeks after entering the qt. Anyway, it has been 4 weeks and I began...

If the Elegance is still available how much is it? How much shipping to 32548?

Thanks for the input everyone, when I hear and see new things I always want to know what everyone here thinks because there is such a wonderful knowledge base and years of experience.

I met someone today that is into saltwater aquariums and we were discussing things, some things that I found interesting but question abit, I really wanted to know what some of you think? Can a UV Sterilizer keep corals from growing and multipling? A 13w florescent light bulb that fits into a...

Thanks for all of the information everyone! My reason behind asking is...that I have had 1 serpent for many months in my 92g without any worries but recently purchased a red show serpent and it seems to be doing well but has eatten at least 1 of my sally lightfoot crabs. The other is missing...

Has anyone had a problem with their Serpent Stars eating other items in the tank? Crabs, Nudi Branches, etc...

Okay, so I know that horseshoe crabs are not the best for reef tanks now, but when I purchased one I didn't know that and it was some time ago. I placed him in my 92g reef. He has been scooting around and burying himself for a long time now with anything strange. Yesterday I came home about...

Hey, thanks for understanding. He was in the QT because he was in my 92g tank that had the ich breakout. He was in there with a Kole Tang. It was just the Kole in there with him, he is still in there, looks fine. They never seemed to mess with each other at all. I am not really sure how but...

He's gone, I feel sick, I wish I could have saved him. Everyone I know laughs at me about how much I like all this and they say I work too hard on it, this is why though. I'm still missing so many answers, it's really hard to watch something die. Thank you for your help.

I do have a little cycled tank that is 5 gallons, it is empty except for sand and live rock. I feed it once a week to keep it cycled just in case a situation like this happens. I've been doing this ever since I began hypoing new purchases. The problem is the salinity in it. The hawk has been...
