My R.G. swam upside down, sideways, just following the rock contour. He always did swim rightside up out in the open though when he was away from his lair.

He did not make it. It makes me so mad that it died probably because of something I done. What causes the internal infections? My royal gramma has some white stringy poop hanging out. He is in the Q tank now. Is this expected since I was treating ich. Hey Terry, I just kept this thread open...

PH 8.1 amonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate >5 SG 1.0093 He is eating ok and swimming around fine. I just notced he was getting fat yesterday and figured something else wrong. Also I'm using a aanton paar density meter that calibrates for water temp from our lab. I also have a Royal Gramma and a yellow...

My cb is going through hypo right now and looks bloated. It is swollen around the belly as if full of eggs. Any ideas? I just can't win

Two 600's should do you good. I have two 400's in my 36 and their about useless.

I'm taking them directly from the tank. Thanks for your help.

Do you have a fish wish list? That would be the best thing to do since you just getting started. Pick you five or so fish that you like and research them to check on compabilty and needs of each fish. Then get the most docile of the bunch and add it first. Don't be affraid to ask questions here...

Our local lfs is hit are miss also.We only have one in our area, so they can pretty much put it to ya. Most of the fish are double the cost online ,but they do have a two week warranty for half the price of the fish. They just require the dead fish back and a water sample. Dry goods are where...

I'm using a electric density meter that calbrates for the temp. I got it from our lab at work. Anton paar density meter, new out of the package so there was no contaminents. Keeping the sg at 1.009 is a chore it varies from 1.0092 to 1.0102. I have them in a smoll room by themselves so traffic...

LMAO, Lovethesea

I vote Royal Gramma and a yellow watchman goby. I also added scarlet and a blood shrimp a couple weeks ago and their the coolest additions yet.

A question on the hypo. Do I keep my sg at 1.009 exactly? I'm at 1.0095 now. What is a safe range?

No white spots yet. RG is scratching on the rocks and CB is swimmimg franticly around the tank. CB pec fins quiver alot against his side. It's been three weeks since adding RG after two weeks quarantine. I guess it wasn't long enough and I emptied my Q tank last week since all was good. I'm...

This is my first attempt using hyposalinty and I'm scared of doing more harm than good. I need some counsiling to get through this.lol My Royal Gramma started scratching yesterday and Coral beauty is nervous acting. So here what I have to work with 10 gal tank 5 gals of display tank water 5 new...

I just used boiling water to zap mine. I got lucky though.

Aiptaisa.... get it now or they will get you later.

Has anybody seen these shrimp in their tanks? I've been watching these little shrimp for a while now and finally got a good look at one. Done a search on google and this looks like what I have. They stay in the holes in live rock and seldom come out. Even at night you can shine a light in the...

Thanks guys, I'll keep my eye on them for now. As long as they stay in my cannister I'm content. I also have some snot looking stuff on a couple pieces of lr.

Heck , I maybe looking at it wrong. Never thought of it that way, I was taking it more like poor water quality. Maybe a shark will line me out.

I've done my search on q-tip sponges. Some say its a good thing and thats its a sign of a mature tank. Then others say its bad nutrient export. I found a whole colony in my cannister yesterday. Which is it? Thanks
