    Spots on my Ocellaris

    The best I can describe it is as if they are faded white spots under the surface. It looks kind of like Hyper-Melaninization except that the spots are not black. I also dont really have any corals that would sting it except for maybe Frogspawn? The other corals I have are Xenia, shrooms, Zoos...

    Spots on my Ocellaris

    I was looking at my fish today and noticed these blemishes on the larger of my two Ocellaris. At first I thought was Ich, but they appear to be under the surface and not on top like Ich would be. Any idea what these could be and how to treat it?

    urgent help/advice required

    I wouldnt be too concerned but I would replace the stand with a real wood stand as soon as possible. They shouldnt even sell those particle board crap stands, they are an accident waiting to happen. Anyway, go to your local home center or lumber yard and pick up a pack of wood shims and place...

    how do i use frozen brine shrimp?

    I feed frozen silversides to my serpent star. Whenever I feed frozen food to my tank, I thaw it out first. Get yourself a brineshrimp net, it is very fine netting. Put the frozen food inside and then rinse(thaw) under warm water. Then put the food in your tank. I put about 3 or 4 different cubes...

    RO water should not be used either. You should really only use distilled water to calibrate your refractrometer. You can make your own by boiling tap water, preferably in a tea kettle. Hold a coffeee mug upside down over the steam. I use a coffee mug because it has a built in handle. When the...

    Sump help

    Dump the bio balls, they are useless they way you have them. Bio balls are supposed to be kept damp, not wet. The water is suppposed to drip over them. The balls are not supposed to be submerged in the water. You are not allowing bacteria to grow and so the bio balls have no use at all.
