My 72 gal tank has been up and running for over a year and a half. All chemicals are salinity are in check except for nitrates which are through the roof and even after treatements and water changes i cant get down. My diamond goby disappeared for 2 months i moved stuff aound the tank and...

so even though they are in a tank with other non agressive fish they will continue to eat their eggs? I have another small tank set up and food for the babies as well. So ive been prepared not them lol

My black and white clowns have now laid eggs 3 times. As a matter of fact they are doing it not. But as soon as the female lays one egg either she or the male whips around and eats it!!!! WHY WONT THEY STOP?????? Its so upsetting. I just want to take a turkey baster and suck one out everytime...

Ok so i had some orange, green, and brown zoo's they were doing great split a lot and took over. So about a month ago all of them started dying off shriveling up and their tentacles have retracted and are short. I dont have a good camera to get a detailed shot. The only thing that has changed is...

ok so heres an update. Yesterday i spent hours removing the glass top and making a mesh one just in case of jumping. The phosphates are .5 now. I tried to feed him a shrimp last night he looked great sucked it up really fast but then i got up this am and he had spit it all back out whole hardly...

i dont think any of mine are jumpers? Lawnmower possibly. I added the phopshate remover and he seems a little better but still does not look right? So i should maybe talke the top off that side? is the temp ok or should it be lower? Ive had one answer lower and one stay the same? the phosphate...

here are some better pics to give you an idea.

Ok so let me give you a complete run down on my 72 gal. I have made a seperator so that one half of the tank it just monster my fuzzy dwarf (she ate my first lawnmower :( ) The other half of this tank has the foxface, 2 clowns, bta, lawnmower, diamond goby, 1 emerald crab, 1 blue legged...

sorry it took so long to reply i went out and got some phosphate remover. lol I am in greensboro :)

do you think i need to do metal halides? ive heard not to get a 48 inch one but to get 2 one for each half of the tank?

my just tap water reads between .5 and 1.0 phosphates

i dont use any flake i have pellets for the clowns but the foxface goby and blenny eat those too. The only other thing i use is sea weed for foxface. I thought you couldnt feed them silver sides because of the bones?

I may be kinda stupid on this but what causes phophates? Should i test my tap water to see what it looks like?

I do use regular tap water but i use the prime to take out contaminants i usuall wait a few hours for that to do its thing before adding it to the tank. The total watts for that side of the tank is over 300 watts. As stated earlier i do spot feed with a turkey baster with squid twice a week. The...

any suggestions on how i dont have a phosphate reducer at the moment. Mybe syphon out the stuff at the bottom more and then add so more fresh water? how much i already did a 20% change last weekend.

Ok lets give background first. I have a 72 gal bowfront. Temp:80 ph: 8.3 ammonia: 0 nitrate: 0 nitrate: 5 calcium: 500mg/l hardness: 12dkh phosphates: between 2 and 5 I do 2 week 20% water changes. This tank has been up and running for at least a year and maybe a half. Inhabitants: 2 orange...

Too Cute!!! Heres mine as a baby: http://s472.photobucket.com/albums/r...t=IMG_2122.jpg And here she is now. http://s472.photobucket.com/albums/r...t=IMG_2356.jpg http://s472.photobucket.com/albums/r...t=IMG_2380.jpg I dont know about 4-5inches i thought they got between 7-8. I also agree about...

I have 2 pairs of clowns 2 black and white and 2 orange. Im not sure if they are percs or occel. The big black one has finally allowed the little black one to use the anemone but the big one seem to hang around the big orange one more and fight off the little orange one. the big black one does...

Forgot to mention: when you are squeezing the turkey baster over the anemone: ie especially if it is near high water flow. Squeeze it slow and close to the tentacles so that the anemone with have better chance gripping onto the food.

I feed both of my anemones with a turkey baster and either a mixture of squid and or mysis shrimp. I have heard it is not a good idea to feed anemones silver sides because of the bones. They have to eventually expel them which can cause either alot of extra cleaning for you or spike in...
