Hiya, I don't know about that wrasse, but out store has a green wrasse that is supposed to be okay. See if you can find a possium wrasse, it wasn't to expensive and was reef safe. The face on them are really cool! I also like the six line wrasse. Lost mine though, I think it ate all my...

Hiya, You should be able to go to your local LFS and buy just a small amount. Or, sometimes one of our favorite auctions sites will sell LR by the pound. As for inverts, you could put in a some shrimp, hermits if you want and snails. It'd still be a nice active tank with all of them moving...

Hiya, Yeah...look at a wrasse. They are some of the neatest fish around. They've got different body shapes and talk about color! Yeap, some nice color on them. Though, remember to ask if it's reef safe. Some definately aren't. Meadbhb

Hiya, Granted, I'm new to the hobby and I like my damsels! I've got a blue yellow tail and dange it....I want to say Tomplin he's yellow and purple with a black spot. I also had a clown, but lost him last night to probably brooklynella. These two should stay small as adults, which is why I...

Hiya, I would have considered it more a shedding then a powder. The fish did have a small cotton type growth on the other side of his body. He'd never let me get a picture of that side. Could he have had two illnesses at the same time? Sorry about the pictures, I'm still learning how to use...

Hiya, Well, I tried a fresh water bath tonight. He was to weak to take it and has since died. HOWEVER, I still want to know what was wrong with him? Is this stuff contagious? I'm still working on finding a volt meter to see if there is any stray electricity in the tank, but if this isn't...

Hiya, It's still alive...amazingly. Here are a few pictures I was able to snap.

Hiya, Got to see a clown wrasse....gorgious orange and white markings with a blue tail. Unfortunately, or fortunately considering the price, it is not reef safe. Meadbhb

Hiya, I think you my be over stocking just a little. With a 55 gallon, you can only have 11 inches of fish. The general guidline is 1: of fish per 5 gallons. As for the crabs, I'd go with the emeralds. Unless you don't mind the decorator clipping your corals to decorate his home. You also...

Hiya, I'm at work now and won't be able to get a picture of him, but I don't think it's ick. He looks like he has a white cotton stuff on him now and you can kinda see a line that follows his back, as if his bone was starting to show. Also, no anenomies in the tank that I'm aware of. I'm...

Hiya, I'm getting pretty frustrated. I've lost almost every fish I've put into my tank, except my two damsels. Which were added AFTER I cycled and because, well, I like them. Tank is a brand new 37 gallon eclipse, that's been set up since August 3rd. The only chemical I've added has been for...

Hiya, Snipe, I guess I should have said most tanks. I've red some folks are lucky to have good tap water, but most of them have way to much phosphate in it causing algea problems. Still wouldn't hurt to get an RO unit. The difference between my tank and my friends tank is amazing. I use RO...

Hiya, Nice picture! I've never been lucky enough to see that. Meadbhb

HIya, I'd move the power head so it ripples the surface water, but I guess increasing the bubbles would help too. Meadbhb

Hiya, I can tell you you're going to have problems with algea with tap water. Even if you use the buffers. Usually tap water contains a lot of phosphates. You might want to run some aquarium tests on the tap water so you know how out of balance it is. You may want to look in to getting an RO...

Hiya, Are you using tap water or RO water? RO water shouldn't give you a problem with your hardness. Also, what's you calcuim? If you're calcium is low this will keep your PH low. Meadbhb

Hiya, Is there enough surface movement? Maybe they're not getting enough oxygen. Meadbhb

Hiya, Dead rock, or base rock can become live rock. This can happen by adding some live rock, or from bacteria in a live sand bed. Meadbhb
