I just finished 3 hours of reading through postings on SWF about Atlantic Blue Tangs. I understand that they will for the most part only do well in schools. There were a few postings that indicated that several species of tang would school together...is this true? I'd like to hear success...

Would using an airstone for a few hours effect the pH?

I am nursing a very sick Sun Coral back to health and have had good success by using the top of a plastic juice jug. I scalded the plastic jug (it's about 4" in diameter) and cut it off about 5 inches from the top. I drilled a hole in the plastic lid big enough to just slip the tip of a...

The less the tangs resemble one another the better luck you might have. Check around to other sites that offer fish and give better descriptions of care and disposition. The three you are considering don't look much alike but find out how aggressive they are in general. I believe that I read...

Nobody wants to hazard a new idea? Thanks zanoshanox at least you recognize anemonies when you see em LOL.

Wow if that happens I'll move some to the big tank that has critters that like things like that. He loves to crawl all over the feather calurpa in my tank he's a handy little cleaner. Thanks for all your input. It's always rewarding to post here there is always something new to learn!

I ordered the green star polyp which came today. It is huge in my 24G nano and when it opens it will be the center focus in the tank but I noticed something emerging and didn't pay much attention thinking it was just the coral opening. Then it started moving across the coral! Then there were...

Now what do I do? I ordered the Xmas tree worm rock w/o porites from SWF because I knew my little 24G nano deluxe lighting would not support porites but would support the feather worms. My order arrived this morning and I was surprised to see this HUGE coral.....porites with a wonderful...

1) This is a Cirolanid Isopod..... it's bad GET IT OUT! 2) This is a Stomatella snail, it's beneficial. It has no shell.

Thank You! He's going back into the tank.

It has no shell, don't snails have shells?

I found this lil' guy when doing a water change this morning, he was crawling on the intake. I would like to know what it is. Do I get rid of him or put him back?

So sorry for your loss! Are you going to start anew?

Our calcium levels are great at about 400-450 but our alk went thru the roof at 15.7!! Ammonia, nitrite are both 0 and I think our nitrate tests are bad because they both show nitrates between 40 and 80 all the time. (even on the hospital tank which is empty and not connected to the nano) It...

Congrats on the ric! Does it luminesce? I got one as a frag, it was just the size of a dime. In a few months it's grown to about silver dollar size and just glows and glows under the moonlighting! Enjoy yours it's beautiful!

hot883 - What does Oceanic do to your pH and alk levels? Dogstar - have you had any ill effects using Tropic Marin? Thanks and keep the responses coming! We are about to fill a 180 gallon tank and don't want the same thing to happen again!

It looks like the coral that is just under your clownfish is a leather coral called a Colt coral.

We are having trouble with our pH levels lately. We switched to Seachem Reef Salt and our levels have dropped to 7.8. We need 8.3 but it's a battle every time we change water more than 5%. We have been battling alk and calcium levels with this too. Anyone else have this problem? What Reef...
