Thanks! I will!

Hi there I purchased a new clownfish yesterday from the LFS. He is currently in my QT tank. He seems to be well acclimated, swimming around and eating flake foods that I offered today. I am noticing some white ich spots on him, as well as a larger "growth" on the tip of his anal fin. I was...

Pablo and Paloma...

I am currently drip acclimating and temperature floating my new tank mate in my quarantine tank. What I did was cut and float the bag in the tank with the lights off. I use one of those hair claw clips to hold it to the side of the tank, which works really really well because there is enough...

Hmm, not sure what to do here.... AFter the accident, the anemone retracted a bit but still looked pretty good for about 5 hours. Right as the lights were going down, he shriveled up really small and is still like that. He has shriveled like this before, so I am not too worried yet....

He looks fine today, so maybe you are right about the toxins. He just looked sort of peely, and it was even on his eye. Its weird, because it almost looks like he "blinked" and the overgrowth gummed up into a ball and then disappeared. QT is still cycling. I dont think he has ich, but I think...

I added some Aquel Plus to the QT to help with the last bit of Nitrite toxicity. I am so confused thouhg, now his eyes and body look totally normal. If I would have just got home and looked at him now, I would have never known anything was wrong. COuld his eyes have gotten clowdy and little...

Please someone! I just checked the QT readings and the ammonia is zero, nitrite is less than 0.1 and nitrate is like 40.pH is 8.3.... Salinity is 1.026 which matches the display fish is coming from. I have some Formalin 3 on hand that is about 2 years old. Not sure if the stuff expires or not...

Hi Everyone The saga continues with more problems. My only fish resident, a B&W saddleback clown, has what appears to be a clowdy overgrowth over both eyes. This is the first time I noticed it. THe overgrowth seems to extend beyond the eye slightly to what I would want to call the "eyelid" or...

Okay I just accidentally sucked up my anemone a bit. I was trying to use some 1" hose to siphon, and was looking down to make sure the water wasnt going all over the floor, and I seem to have sucked up the anemone a bit. It quickly retracted into the cave. I cannot tell if I hurt it and ripped...

Hi Everyone I posted on here about a week ago. I thought that my only fish inhabitant, a B&W saddleback clown might have had Ich. Well, basically I am still not certain what is going on there. He looks great (no spots) for the past 4 or 5 days, and he is eating and seems happy. My QT is winding...

Well, the anemone moved back to where I originally had him! Ha!

I adore this blenny and this pic! Beautiful!

Very pretty, EmeralCrab. I wish mine still had bubbled tips. Its tips have become very elongated lately, almost more like an LTA than a BTA!

What are you water parameters and tank size?

I think I will just let it be, at least for now. I am hoping that it will do exactly what bang said, and stretch upward to where I am hoping it will be.

Also, your temp seems a bit low. I think the best range for reef tanks is somewhere between 78 and 80 ...

I doubt the windex killed your fish, unless you sprayed it in the tank. For future reference, if you do use windex, spray it on the paper towel far away from the tank, then wipe the towel on the glass to make sure none of the mist gets in the tank. There are also other things to clean the glass...

Bang~ Its a GBTA. Here is a pic of it before the move... In the second picture, you can see the area that it moved to. It moved from the cave in the center to the back right corner, which is fine if I didnt want to ever look at it! So it sounds like Ice Cube/Power head are the way to go...

So my anemone moved (over the last 2 days) from front and center to the back corner, right below my maxijet intake. Thank goodness that I have prefilters on there or this would have been a catastrophe! I have a feeling it was trying to move towards the lights, but somehow missed its target. Is...
