    Royal Gramma... the new Howard Hughes?

    Hi, Don't stand so close to the tank, it freaks them out. If you just sit near by to watch, the fish will swim around and be happy. They hide at any sudden movment. I put a purple firefish in with my Royal Gramma, and it went around making ugly faces at it. I think the RG saw a purple face and...

    Can someone identify this please.

    Originally Posted by saltwatersubie I really have not heard any good things about adding stuff to the tank to treat ich. I'm just worried it will not work, I'm willing to try but I'm kinda skeptical. Hi, You can try raising the temp to 83. I was told that can work. However, as long as you...

    Can someone identify this please.

    Hi, Everything in the tank has now been exposed to the ick. Get a medicine that is reef safe, (safe for inverts and fish). Treat the entire tank, when the dosing is done (a week usually) do a 20% water change. Right now you don't need to move anything. Treat the whole tank.

    Can someone identify this please.

    Hi, I personaly would leave your fishy alone and not move him anymore. He just got introduced. You didn't QT so now to collect him you would have to chase him all over the tank and stress him further. There are medicines that are reef safe. Just follow instructions. Do a water change after...

    Serpent Star

    Hi, I have a 90g and I have two serpent stars, one is green and the other is red. Mine are not that big, maybe 5" - 6" I have never lost a fish and I have little cardinals that stay in the rocks all the time. I feed them little bits of shrimp once every two weeks, after lights out. I use my moon...

    What next??

    Hi and welcome, the damsels are real mean. I think they are bad to keep with your clowns. I think they get mean as they mature so it’s not like death is imminent but ask around just to make sure.

    Identify what this slime is please ???

    Hi, It looks like cyano to me. If it is...Nothing is going to eat it, and it either poisoning your tank by being fed back into it, or since it is in the fuge, eating the stuff that would poison it. So I am no help as to weather or not it is good, or bad. I don't think it is the light causing...

    Do ya'll take of the plecky glass under your light bulb?

    Hi, The material between the bulbs and fish tank (Plexiglas) are an added precaution to prevent the salt from building up on the bulbs, and water from splashing up and shorting out the lights. Some people put their lights on legs to hold it off of the tank and some people hang their lights. If...

    Please help me choose my last fish!!!

    Hi, A Royal Gramma is a perfect fish for what you want. It really is very flashy and stays small. The color is so deep and bright. I love mine. I also have had the firefish, which are really cool, but they don't compare to the beauty of the Royal Gramma IMO

    help please

    6 months... I didn't see that, sorry. Go for many more hermit crabs, 10 is not enough for 125g and water flow is important.

    help please

    How long has your tank been setup? The brown will go away if it is a new system and it is normal to have it doing all kinds of weird things before it settles down.

    I got ich for the 1st time

    Hi and welcome, Kick ick does work, and it won't hurt your tank critters. I have used it meny times over the years. You can't have carbon in the filtering or it will not work. That's the only thing that I can think of that stops the medicine. Kick ick is not an instant treatment, it takes about...

    Anemone?

    Hi, In my LFS I saw a blue Aphasia. I didn't know what it was so I asked. It was a stinger and a bad thing, pretty or not. I had never seen blue, and I mean blue like hippo tang blue, so brown and ugly is not a good way to decide if it is aphasia. Your picture sure looks like aphasia to me. 4...

    Favorite Court TV Show

    Hi, I watch Judge Judy, Peoples court and Judge Alex. I have a DVR so I watch them when I want. Weekends mostly. I used to watch Judge Joe Brown, but he runs the court like a circus now, and I don't watch him anymore. I was watching cold case files, and there, handing down a sentence on a...
