Did the fish look like they had any spots on them? Discolored? Not eating? You can't test for an external parasite or internal one either. The only way to tell is by how the fish looks. Look for oddities on the fish....

Test for the normal things Thomas??? I would have NEVER thought to look for something like that....I just took it for granted that the salt would be ok every time. I would hate to think what would happen if 80tons of bad instant ocean went to an aquarium.....

Thats an incandescent bulb and you can not use it for reefs. Look for a coralife minicompact bulb. Looks exactly like the compact bulb you were looking at but it is a 50/50 bulb. Meaning the spectrum of light that comes out of the bulb is 10k and actinic 03 i believe. The incandescent bulb...

Good idea kip. Cuase i just went in the living room with my white socks and got mobbed again..... :( Looks like ill bomb again....

IN a tank that small you probably don't need a power head. Whatever wet dry filter you run should take care of it. As far as the bulb goes is it the screw in or flourescent type? Screw in, corallife makes a screw in power compact bulb. It's 10 watts and 50/50.... I wish i could set up a...

Abundant algae is a sign of poor water quality. This is what i always tell people. 1.) lighting. 10 hours or less a day. Proper spectrum. Unless its halides get 10k's and actinics or 50/50's. Spectrum isn't such a big deal as long as its 6.7k or higher. Its more the hours its on...

hahaha. Funny. I've seen people do the mouth thing. There is a much easier way. Get about 2 feet of tubing and a turkey baster. Stir up the stuff on the rock. Fully fill the tube with water. Plug one end with thumb and pull tubing over the side and let go. Kinda like the straw in the...

Instant Ocean.

Sorry. I just thought it was funny. I can feel your excitement :) Just wait. Youll be finding things for months. I just found a crab in my 20 thats been set up since march. Wait till the lights go out for about an hour and then shine a flashlight and see whats in there...

HHHAHHAHA. Its a stomatella or half shell nudibranch or something. Its a good thing. They eat algae and are very common hitch hickers on live rock....

Not in a small tank can you keep two blennies. As others said they also eat pods like the mandarins do so keeping one alive is very contingent on them eating other things. Try live brine or blackworms and get them eating frozen.....

The sunburst are alot more solitary and require good rockwork to stay out of site at times. I would keep a single one or the book says keep in pairs with one large than the other. It noted to get known pairs as well. If you want a pack of anthias go with the square spot or lyretail anthias...

HAHAHA good point. If its feasible to do take out the rock and toothbrush the spot the mushroom was on.... I'm sure there is another way. Maybe a mushroom eater. I don't know of one though....

Could be a number of external parasites. Just look at them closely the next couple days for spots or discolorations.

People don't realize a white anemone is a bleached anemone due to stress. It may "look" right to be white but its not. I've had lots of customers come into the LFS and not realize this. If you're gonna keep an anemone you might as well get a frogspawn which is easier to keep and will host...

Most definitely you could keep some corals. If thats something you want to get into. Its even more expensive :) What you may want to do is really really think about the future of this hobby for you. If you trully believe in the years to come youll keep going then i would invest in a good...

HHAHHAAHHA. I love the dog. He's the best one i've ever met and i don't really like dogs all to much. Its just that long hair. I'd rather get rid of the roomate she's a little inconsiderate.... The bombs said they work for 4 months and kill eggs. I have my doubts and I'm still killing one...

Im sure there is a single strip flourescent thats six feet. BUT Its going to be expensive as it is. ANything that needs a light bulb that big is going to need more light than a single flourescent. You may be very disappointed by a single bulb. I personally would buy a vho ballast. They are...

I heard on a tv show they can hunt in packs in the wild....

They make six foot vho bulbs. Look around....
