come to think of it, that would explain a VERY healthy wrasse kicking it over night. He was healthy as a horse for 2 weeks and cleaning all my fish AND eating flake food. I really doubt it starved. I kept reading they are difficult unless you can get them to eat flake, which he did.

The purple lobster hasn't bothered anyone. He hides in a hole and comes out for feeding time. The place I got it from said it was safe. I'm not buying anymore fish for awhile. I'm going to wait another 6 months before I even bother with another living creature... Anemone comes first for my...

I thought the filter pad was the cause of the problem because 2 times it has been changed and problem been remedied immediately after. I got the rest of my live rock in the other day and rearranged the tank to fit it. Some of my corals were dieing. I lost some freak hard coral that some how...

Check your nitrites... they keep spiking on me. Also, I hear percula clowns aren't very hardy and often die. I got one to replace my sebae awhile back because I thought it would be less aggressive. The percula swam against the current in the same place for days. Had to be the most boring fish...

The tank is 3 months old. I know it's too soon for an anemone but my maroon clown was getting beat up by the other fish pretty bad and he needed protection. We cycled it with the lighting, live rock and 2 damsels for a month before we put anybody in. We put the tangs in first because they...

I really don't get why people keep freaking out on me for my tangs. It looks like they have plenty of room to me. My anemone is splitting atm so it looks funny. I lost the mandarin from nitrite poisoning. I know I have to change the filter padding once or twice a week now the way things...

I'm not the official tank owner but I seem the most concerned about the tank. I don't know the names of a lot of things in it but: 54 gallon corner 10 gallon sump 5 layer canister filter w/ UV 2 65 watt blue flourescent 1 metal halide (not sure the specs of lighting) 10 white dwarf hermits 10...

This is day 2 and i still don't see him. My four main swimmers and my coral all look fine. My anemone doesn't look too hot but I think it's splitting ATM. I'm going to get my water tested. My mandarin I got a week ago isn't looking too hot. I don't understand why. I bought him and a supply...

I keep saying I think its splitting but, its behaved like that since we got it. The mouth getting oblong and not wanting to settle anywhere. Yesterday, I noticed a tear right where the foot meets the body and today it is a little bit bigger. He doesn't look 100% but he has been going from...

I think my cleaner wrasse died. He could just be hiding. I haven't seen him at all today. I had him for about 2 weeks now for the parasites on my tangs. He was eating flake food on top of the parasites which my tangs still have. He cleaned a good lot of them off but, he definitely did not...

I thought it was Sebae and Tomato Clowns who were more agressive. Of course my Sebae was only harassing smaller fish. My maroon clown is the smallest fish in the tank and he was being nipped at before we got him an anemone. The tangs are 2-3 inches long. I've noticed, as you can see in the...

I got my water tested today and everything is peachy. I thought my anemone was going to die this morning but he looks Beautiful now. I also got a shipment of 1500 copepods and amphepods with a mandarin, Purple lobster, Neptunes Shaving Brush, Mangrove shoots, and various plant algae that my...

I have a 54 callon corner reef tank with about 30 lbs of rock atm. The way I set it up, I don't see how I could fit in a full 60 lbs. I bought a Black Sailfin Goby about a week ago and was told it was reef safe. Everything I can find about it states it is reef safe. I catch it biting at the...
