I have a Bar Goby that disappeared on me for 3 months. No where to be seen, he always comes out to feed during feeding time, but he just disappeared one night. We thought he was dead for sure, we searched everywhere since the back of the tank was open, thought he might of jumped out, no body...

If your going to dip zoos, you should do the Iodine dip instead of FW dip!!! Lugols would be a good choice. After dipping, you should leave only the Actinic lights on for the rest of the day as it encourage the zoas to open back up. There are numerous issues why zoas would close up and...

Originally Posted by sepulatian Actually if you want your fish to thrive none of the above mentioned foods is going to be enough. They (all salt fish) need a large variety of food. Foods they would find in the ocean. Instead of buying 20 different foods. go with formula foods that already have...

Originally Posted by chickadee i have to agree with journeyman, that instead of trying to setup a new tank here, we should figure out what happened with this one. i also agree with you, sweetie, that people should not come on here to tell you to get out of the hobby... you admitted that you knew...

I would suggest in feeding the clowns more then just brine shrimp!!! It does not have enough nutrition for the fish!!! You need to feed numerous different types of diet for those clowns. Research on fish foods, bad food quality give you bad fish quality. Quality of food does matter as I...

The lighting your wanting to get would be fine for low lighting corals. Mainly softies. That means no Clams!! If you want Clams, you need a well established tank to own one and eventually upgrade your tank size cause they will grow, same with the hippo tang!!! Plus the lighting needs to be...

Originally Posted by lpuzon hey mikey, does your remora makes a lot of noise too? i mean, are they noisy like mine?is that normal? i'm kind of concerned if that noise and the vibration coming from it would dislodge my tank.... When I first set it up, it made a lot of noise, but over time I...

There's got to be other issues that caused the death of your fish. A timer would be wise to get, they're rather inexpensive!!! I would suggest getting the $10 timer at Wal-mart, not the cheap kind that used on lamps that cost like $5, those are worthless and doesn't work half the time, I used...
