If you get a frozen bar of cyclopeeze, it should work! Just swoosh it in your tank for a bit. Mine wouldn't eat anything at first, not even garlic soaked foods, but they're loving this stuff. They would eat anything now after they start eating the cyclopeeze. :happyfish

You need to give that fish something to hide in, it's in wide open spaces making it feel uncomfortable and further stress the fish. Get some large T PVC and please do fill that tank with more water. Read up on diseases in Disease & Treatment forum!!! Follow those directions!!! Copper can...

If it were up to me, I'll upgrade that skimmer! Water changes every other day around 20-25% until nitrate drops. I'm so glad that I don't have nitrate problem to deal with... :happyfish

Originally Posted by GreyMach So is the Aqua C Remora a good name brand skimmer? I want to make sure it is a good one so i just have to buy one and not realize later that it isnt good enough. THanks for the replies It's an excellant skimmer for your size tank!!! I bought mine the same price as...

Originally Posted by renisel In my experience, peppermint shrimp aren't necessarily all that effective at controlling aiptasia anyway. Mine don't seem to eat it at all and, from what I've read, that's not uncommon. If they're just going to get eaten in the end anyway, I agree that you should...

Originally Posted by GreyMach For water flow i have my canister filter. 1 1800 ViaAqua pump(which seems to flow ALOT in my tank) and a small 90 RIO pump(which is pretty weak). Is that enough flow? You need to get the flow in different directions, I would suggest in getting a couple more...

It's more like a 50 gallon tank from my calculation..... :happyfish

From what I've read, it's fungus infection and the affected parts should be removed and dispose of properly. If it's a large colony, you should look into treatment, I read about peroxide treatment. Do a research online and see what you can find on white fungus on Zoanthids.... :happyfish

Originally Posted by t11t5 I have a 3 inch Longnose hawkfish. I want to get a few Peppermint Shrimp to control Aiptasia's. How big do they need to be so my hawk dont eat them? He'll eat'em eventually....It's either take out the fish or try to treat the aiptasia on your own with several...

Originally Posted by GreyMach HI, the only other number on all the bulbs is the same. FR30T12. I dont know if that is the wattage. What would that number look like? The tank is 55 gallons. The tank was origionally set up as a reef tank by our LFS but the whole thing failed and i dont know...

Originally Posted by 1journeyman Cool Mike. Like I said you clearly have a successful tank so I'd never try to argue with ya on that! What type of live rock do you have? Could it be that it's exceptionally porous and therefore you're getting a lot of nitrifying bacteria in your rock moreso then...

Originally Posted by 1journeyman Well, abnormalitites in individual tanks certainly occur. That can't be argued. Having said that, outside of individual success can you point to any research countering my statement? I'm always willing to be corrected! Reef Invertebrates by Calfo and Fenner...

Originally Posted by petjunkie Much more important than the lack of space for the tang is that fact that they need mature tanks, not new ones. Also you need to quarentine your fish and add them slowly, one a month or so. Test your water every couple days for ammonia and nitrite spikes and set...

Originally Posted by 1journeyman Depends on the depth of your sand bed. A sand bed over 4 inches deep allows for anearobic bacteria to break nitrate to nitrogen gas. The snails will be good to keep the top layer of sand stirred up. That's crucial. This is a debatable subject!!! It doesn't need...

I love your rock formation!!! It looks great to me!!! Just change water with RO water from now on and you should be fine. I filled my first tank with tap water as well....After diatom outbreaks from hell I learned my lesson....But everything is going well...How is that Naso Tang?? He looks a...

Originally Posted by hot883 head and latteral line erosion if I am thinking clearly. Reddish/pink sometimes is a sign of a bacterial infection. Check out the disease thread or contact Beth. DO NOT PUT IN MAINTANK until you figure this out. What foods are you offering? I suggest algea sheets...

Originally Posted by Shelley Ok, I have a dumb question. Are zoanthids and yellow polyps the same thing? Also, why would my Xenias have done wonderful and the polyps died? I also found my mushroom frag that was put into the tank at the same time and it is looking great. Maybe I'm being...
