I'm going to have to try to get a better glimps of this creature if and when it appears again...I feed the tank earlier, but I didn't see anything...I'll keep looking.

I thought the same thing, but there is like a newly made cave entrance going under one of my rocks. I already discovered a new emerald crab from the newly added live rock. Pretty good size to. Once piece had about a three inch hole in the center and one side was covered in an yellow Zoa Colony...

Greetings all, This morning I turned on my aquarium lighting and with in fractions of a second I saw what appeared to be a eelish looking creature but it vanished so quickly I didn't get to really see it. I did a notice stripe like pattern and it was about 3-4 inches long. Could this have been...

False alarm....took my Sailfin to the LFS to have them look at it. They said the fish is okay and those which I thought were spots were normal. Also gave me advice in treating ich in the future and how to prevent it with garlic.

Tank is about 45 days. Pull them all and then what just let the ich run its cycle in the display or treat it?

QT is 20 gallons. Yes that is correct two tangs and damsel what do you recommend?

He looked so happy swimming around in a bigger tank. Now he looks sad that he is in a small tank.

Hmmm....can't really tell what they look like in the QT with a mag. He is just swimming back and fourth like normal. White specles..

It is translucent, but how could it be air...He looks and acts normal...it seems as if they weren't there and then they were.

I have had him for about four days he was the last fish added to the tank, but I added some live rock with zoas on it. He is in a quarantine tank now.

Very interesting topic and good question....helped me out! Thanks all.

Okay thanks for that tad bit of information. Sounds like calcium is calcium! Saltwater aquarium or not. Thanks.

Sorry to hear that about your fish.

Greetings all, Okay I'm not going to try to cause too much comotion on this one, but what is calcium in a slaltwater aquarium and what are its purpose(s) the benefits of it, how high or how low should the levels be measured at and which test(s) are recommnded? Many thanks go out to those who...

Yes! I did test the akalinity first and it was low now it is at normal levels safe for marine fish and invertabrates according to the test result chart. I purchased the Kit that checks GH and KH. Also took a sample of my water to the LFS.

Greetings all, My LFS suggested or tried to convince me on Purple Up. However I read somewhere on SWF.com that one of the forum members didn't recommend it. Although SWF.com sales it. Any thoughts on this?

Okay...I found the problem to the drop in PH. This past week I had been topping off my tank through out the week with RO water, but I wasn't using a PH Buffer. So last night I got PH buffer in addition to the akalinity test. I removed 10 gal of water from the tank and added 1/4 tsp of the...

Okay...clears that up! Thanks for all the info! Wouldn't you know it cycle went smooth and then bam. Hopefully I can correct the problem. Some days my take has a yellowish appearance to the water like a slight yellow tint. Any thoughts on that (Alkalinity?)
