Well, my clownfish died today and I need help understanding why. He didn't look sick. The only thing I had noticed was that he was breathing a little heavy and he hadn't really eaten (in my sight) in the last few days. He was still active and swimming around the tank. He was purchased on...

I'm thinking that I want a blenny for my next fish (only a clown so far, along with the janitorial crew) but I need my nitrate lvl to come back down first right? Readings last night before a water change were: PH - 8.2 Ammonia - 0 Nitrites - 0 Nitrates - 20 ppm SG - 1.022 I added 12lbs of cured...

Can you mix gobies and blennies? And if so, can a lawnmower blenny and a banded watchman goby be friends in a 40g tank?

Mine is my middle name... I'm not very creative... but at least it's original enough that I can almost always use it

base rock at dallas north aquarium is only 2.99/lb I believe. So far that is the only place I've found that I like. I'll have to check out the Fish Gallery..

I have a 5g container that has had some "reserve" saltwater for a change. It's been about a week and a half, maybe two. Is it ok to use this water still to do a change out? Does it become stagnant or anything like that?

Well, here is the tank...and the clownfish known as Norman :) Do flashes bother them by the way? I don't think he liked having his picture taken...

Can this be used as base rock? It will go in a 40g with 20 lbs of LR. Also, I assume it has to be grouped with the LR right (physically touching it?) Pic attached is the rock in question... front side and from the top

/bump Seeking the advice of all you fish experts out there.. any suggestions?

Well, the asterina seastar did die yesterday. Is that common for a new tank, or should I take that as a warning sign? With all of the reading I have been doing on this site, I realize that my tank never really cycled before adding the crew I currently have in there, which has me a little...

LR - Yes I do intend to add more.. it's just expensive heh so I had to space it out a little. If I do set up the 10g tank then will I want to let the new LR sit in there for awhile before adding it to the main tank or does it matter? Water levels - I think they are actually better than I'm...

Hello. I have been reading through your forums and you guys amaze me with all the knowledge that is collected here along with all the advice that is given. Since everyone seems so helpful I thought I would throw my scenario out there and see if anyone has any advice/suggestions for me...
