sorry, the condi is in my tank...the BTA is in a plastic bag

the condi right now is in a plastic bag....I am attaching some better pics

They are actually two plexiglass canopies that are open in the back (for the filter to hang on to). I probably lose 2 gallons a week, not 3-5 like I reviously stated

I just took him out and did an 11 gallon water change (20%)

He fell off of my top rock today and was just laying on the crushed coral. Tentacles completely shriveled up. Mouth is big and white

It isnt looking good. Fell off the high rock today and was just laying on the ground all shrivelled up

Current Setup

I can easily get another Power Head and stick it in the tank. I am not sure I fully understand the importance of a protein skimmer. What animal or organism produces the protein crud? And consequently what happens if you dont get rid of the protein? How much is a protein skimmer? And can...

oh yeah, I have a 400GPH power head and an Emperor 400 in there also

Yellow Tangs are rated to go into a minimum of 50 gallon tank. But using the 4-1 or 5-1 Gallons to inches of fish, I dont think you can fit one in there. The load would be too much. Since you have a 37 gallon tank, the most you could probably support is 9 inches total of fish Three Stripe...

With 110 lbs of live rock in a 55 gallon, I would venture a guess and say my tank is more like 40-45 gallons of water

I have a 55 gallon. Right now, I have a BTA, Condi, 2 Occelaris, Lawnmower Blenny, 2 Yellow Tail Damsels, 25 snails, 2 Emerald Crabs, 3 Blue Legged Crabs. I also currently have 40 lbs of live rock with another 70 lbs coming this week

I thought that 20% ewater changes monthly was the right way to go. My tank has been setup for for about 6 weeks now and I have just been topping off. I'll go home tonight and do a 20%

Would topping off water every other week (3-5 gallons) be considered the same things as a water change? My guess is no. But can someone clarify?

I have some lighting coming tomorrow.... Should I still do the water change? Two 65 watt 10,000K and two 65 watt True Actinic 03 Blue straight pin base compact fluorescent lamps Four 3/4 watt Lunar Blue-Moon-Glow LED lamps Three on/off switches with three 8-foot power cords for separate timers...

Thanks Ophiura. I certainly do not want and never wanted to get into the habit of killing animals. For this reason alone, I flat out had to buy that lighting. Like I said before, I am a newbie to this hobby. And believe me, I want to have a beautiful tank with fish, anemones, and corals...

thanks, I hope he makes it. I put him on the highest rock possible. I feel bad for the little guy
