If your 'saltwaterfleas" are not on your fish, I wouldnt worry about them at the moment. You have more serious problems. YOur tank may have cycled, but it was only for a very small load. Lions are hugely messy fish and usually you feed them large chunks of messy food. One fish should have been...

The Coral Beauty seems to be the most hardy, but I would suggest an even smaller angel, the Pygmy, for your size tank.

Brittle stars can, under optimal tank conditions, regenerate a lost limb, or a portion of one as long as the central disc in not damaged. However, if mobility is limited, they will have difficulty eating and in your case, may have gotten a bacterial infection. This may sound creepy, but if you...

You are speaking of BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMa?? Cannot even imagine the president of the United States with a name like this. Iran, Syria, Irag perhaps, but not the good old USA. The man is MUSLIM, raised in the Islam religion by a Muslim father and stepfather. And anyone voting for Hillary must be...

OH, I meant to tell you that your water will evaporate and you will need to top it off with NON-salt water. You can purchase distilled or RO water for your topoffs, just remember to buffer the water before adding it to your tank or it will make your ph drop. I add about a gallon a day of top off...

Reading your posts makes me smile. We all remember that excitement. Its what gets us into trouble because we want to rush everything. Take a deep breath and go slowly. Your sand should have said to rinse it thoroughly ahead of time to get as much of the cloudy stuff out as possible. It seems I...

They are awesome! The clarity, color and definition are wonderful.

Barak Hussein Obama has moer than just a Muslim SOUNDING name. He is Muslim and has said he would be sworn in on the Khoran if elected. Obamas father was from Kenya and he was Muslim. Obama was educated in INdonesia and registered there as a MUSLIM. He is pro-abortion, even partial birth...

i AM BACK AFTER A SHORT BREAK! AL-MAC, THANKS FOR NOT ARGUEING WITH ME! YOUR IDEA OF USING THE CHEM MARIN AS A STOP GAP UNTIL YOU ESTABLISH A QUARANTINE TANK IS A GOOD ONE. COPPER IS VERY EFFECTIVE AND HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME, BUT YOU DO NOT WANT IT IN YOUR MAIN TANK. GARLIC-SMELLY AND...

Firefish gobies are pretty cool. They prefer tobe in groups, are jumpers and might be picked on by your B. Cardinal. Mandarins are beautiful, but extremely difficult to keep. General rule of thumb is 100 lbs of lie rock and a year old successful tank. They eat constantly, but are slow so cannot...

NO, fish can handle up to about 30 wit no ill effects, but corals should stay under 10, preferably 0. Just do a small water change, clean your filters etc. and all should be fine. I might also suggest leather corals which will thrive in your tank and frag easily. i sell mine to my LFS fairly...

I dont see anything! Old eyes, I guess. It could be a copepod or a fungal infection if he tore his fin. If that is all you see, I would not rush to treat anything. Most healthy fish in healthy tanks can shrug off minor things like this. Unless you had a recent crash, temp, ph or new fish added...

NO, it will not. It works by enhancing the slime coat on your fish so that the ich parasite is shed from the fish. It then attaches to a non live host and is swept from your tank via the watercirculation and skimmer. the only concern is that it can cause a drop in PH, especially in a fairly new...

They built the pyramids didnt they? and they havent fallen yet! Seriously, think triangles. Do you have sand on the bottom to help nestle the rocks into? Then lay out the bottom pieces in triangles across the tank. Set the next rocks on top making sure each piece is solid, solid, solid. You can...

Herbie, if you use copper in a separate tank, you dont want to use live rock that will ever go back into your main tank again as copper stays forever! Do not use itin your main tank unless you intend to never have any inverts or corals etc. If you have a good LFS, they may have the product that...

Honestly, I would wait before adding any more fish. Are you doing regualr water changes, at least 20% every two weeks? Do you keep tabs on your nitrates and check to see if you have any ammonia or initrate spikes after adding fish? Yours is a pretty new tank and you have a pretty good fish load...

Herbie, I Tend To Type In Caps As Well So I Can See What I Am Typing! When You Check That Thread, You Will See Several Options, And A Few Heated Discussions Concerning Ich Treatment. You Have Two Problems, Extremely High Nitrates, Which Your Existing Fish Slowly Have Become Used To (remember The...

iTS PRETTY MUCH FULL AS IS. DO YOU HAVE ANY SHRIMP OR STARFISH? THEY ARE AN INTERESTING ADDITION TO PEACEFUL TANKS. tHAT SAID, YOU MIGHT BE OK ADDING A SMALL WRASSE. HOWLONG HAS YOUR TANK BEEN SET UP AND HOW RECENTLY DID YOU ADD A FISH TO THE TANK?
