Ok, bought some Formula 2 and that worked the first day. Ate 2 small bites. That was an improvement. Yesterday and today nothing. It appears to be getting weaker. I had to shut off the powerhead because it was having a hard time swimming. Also their is a white spot on its side that is growing.

The fins dont appear to be growing back. Target feeding hasn't worked yet. I have been doing daily water changes and parameters still seem to be in check. Im going to try and find some formula 2, any other foods that may spark an appetite?

I hadnt seen any aggression, but Im hoping that is the reason. Its been a couple of days since I separated them out. I tried fresh garlic and brine shrimp last night. Still nothing.

I have the 48" Current Outer Orbit Pro 2x250 MH. The tank is 75g and the birdsnest is at the bottom center. See full tank shot. I have been battling some cyano, so right now Im only running 4 hours on the MH and 8-10 hours on the actinics.

I got 2 scraggly loose frags of birdsnest back in Dec for $5. The first pic was about 1-month later on 01-05-09. Second photo was taken today.

Yep. I wish you could buy patience. It KILLS me to have to wait 4+ weeks before I put new fish into the DT. Time flies, except when you are QTing.

When I battled my first case of ich, I only saw spots in the evening. In the mornings I couldnt find anything, but once I got home from work, the spots were back. I have read this is fairly common.

Here are some photos. They aren't great, my wifes a pro photographer so I have a hard time with her cameras (I should take some time to learn from her, but have been lazy & I dont need another hobby). Beth -thanks for your suggestions. I'll start with the daily water changes. I have been...

I got a flame angel about 6-weeks ago from a very good LFS. Their livestock is always in premium shape and they have tons of SPS tanks. I spoke to the owners son, and he said they had the angel in for about 3-4 weeks. It was feeding on just about everything and was fat & healthy. I have been...

Any area on the brain? Should I cut into the good tissue part or just outside of it? The mushroom has already been removed, but the tissue is not growing back on the exposed skeleton.

I had this question in the LPS section, but no one answered, so I thought Id post here. I have a open brain that is receded because it was too close to a mushroom. The skeleton is showing on about 1/3. Someone suggested fragging it. Any suggestions for how to do this?

Anyone on how to frag? It looks like the brain is starting to receed a little.

I would hold to at least 3-weeks. I have 3 fish in QT for almost 3-weeks now and last night I found 2-3 spots of ich on one of them. So now I need to hypo for another month. I was about to put them in the display tank. No signs of ich until 20+ days.

Bump.

I fed my Duncan a small chunk of silverside about a week ago. I found a peppermint shrimp on top of the Duncan trying to wrestle the chunk out, so I put a small plastic bowl with holes over the top to protect him. I put 3-4 rubble rocks on top of the bowl to hold it down secure. The Duncan...

How would I go about fragging? So far it hasnt receeded, but I want to be prepared just in case.

My open brain is showing approx 1/4 of its skeleton. It was very healthy until last week. A mushroom had floated over and attached to the rock right above it, and had been there for several weeks. At the time, I didnt think much of it. When I relocated the shroom, I found that the skeleton of...

Whats the difference between blueberries and blue tubs?

Mike, My story is almost identical. I had my new fixture for 2-3 weeks then one side quit working. I swapped bulbs from one side to the other and the same side did not work. So I contacted the supplier and they sent me a new ballast, which I installed. Again the same side didn't work, so I...

I got 2 from this site right before Thanksgiving. One as a freebie and the other I bought. One split right away and then both of them spit, so now I have 4. I noticed this morning that the other one was splitting, so soon I will have 6. I think that is pretty good in only 2-months. By the...
