Oh and in case you want to know how to tell if a rock is calcium based. There is a test you can do. Get a bottle of white distilled vinegar for the store. Pour some in a bowl. Break off a little piece of the rock and crush it to powder. Sprinkle the powder in the jar of vinegar and if it is...

No lava rock is no good but I have herd of alot of people using. What you need are calcium based rocks to buffer your tank. If I remember correctly with lava rock you will have a hard time keeping PH up.

I had one a long time ago. They are cool but as mentioned they are escape artists. You will have to watch them closely to figure where he is getting out (its not a matter of if). Also have gloves you are going to find him on the floor its only a matter of time. However the 1 I had seemed to be...

I dont think he has ich. I see hippo tangs do that alot lay side ways and rub up on a rock. Almost asif he trying to rub its way inside the rock to hide. The spot is a infection as stated add a stress coat to the water to help it heal. If it gets worse pm beth. I have read some of her threads...

I like my medusa id better

You know I hear about these stars all over peoples tanks. I almsot wish I had this problem (thats probably cuz I dont lol) I have one that lives in my overflow so he never hurts anything and thats the only one I got. But I have low nutrents and all for them to thrive I guess. I have herd of them...

yeah but I have to give the lfs guy credit. He had them to sell. Sometimes fish get picked on thats the way it is its not his fault. I commend him for giving them away realizing they were not going to make it in his hands. I have done that with really expencive corals. I added alot more flow in...
