Try Chromis, they are in the Damsel family but not nearly as aggressive. Although they are hearty like the damsel.

You could also try squirting it with hot water. Get a syringe and squirt it with water.

Thats Aipstasia, kill it or you will be plagued with it throughout your tank.

no, it's just a green legged hermit with a white shell.

I have one of those plastic black sheets on the back of my tank but I just painted the sides with black acrylic paint thats used for ceramics. The kind that comes in those one ounce bottles. I have live rock in the corners and there is a big opening behind them where the fish go to hide. I...

I have these 2 things growing on my live rock and cant find out what they are. I first noticed them when they were about a 1/4" in diameter. Now they are about 5/16 wide and 3/4" long. They are a milky white in color, kind of opaque. They are flat and growing along the rock kind of like a...

You should have let your uncle flush the damsel. Chances are it was harassing your tang and stressed it out which caused it to die. Don't be fooled by a Damsels small size. They will go after a fish much bigger than them.

You could put a PVC ball valve in your return line so that you can regulate the flow of your return but you are better off if you increase your overflow by adding additional overflow lines or increase the one you have now.

Your toe nails look cute. :D

WOW, he has sparklin' clean water but no fish? We'll talk to you in a couple o' weeks and see how things are. :D

Rinsing wont hurt the food. Anything that gets removed by rinsing would get removed once it hits the water anyway. I just thaw all my frozen food in a cup of tank water and then just dump it right in.

I would suggest a scooter blennie. They are hearty, will keep your pod population in check and will readily eat brine shrimp if your pods should happen to dwindle. Plus the fact that they are really neat looking.

Get rid of the Domino damsel, they are one of the most aggressive damsels. It is probably stressing all your other fish which is the cause of the Ich. Capture it and get rid of it.

By your estimations, you have 1400 GPh flow. If you have a 70 gallon tank, your flow would be perfect for a reef tank. You don't say what size your tank is, so we can't tell you if your flow is good or not. Pump placement depends a lot on your set up. Not everyone has their liverock positioned...

You could try rinsing everything in chlorine remover.

After trying to read your question, it certainly does look like you went through the Philly school system. If you want us to help you, then you are going to have to make sure that we can read and understand your question. I've noticed that with a lot of posts on here. Does anyone bother to read...

You have to adjust the airflow going into your skimmer. If you dont have one, go buy an air valve at your LFS, they cost about 69 cents. Put it on the end of the airline and adjust it until the bubbles create a very fine dry foam in the collection cup. Any time you add something to your tank...

No that is not bacteria, it is waste. It is also a sign that you do not have proper water movement. You may have the proper amount of circulation , 10x-20x per gallon an hour but you may need to readjust your powerheads so that you get the right water movement.

Well, what do you mean by your skimmer is going nuts? What is happening?
