The NEMOs and our allies would lose our advantage if we disclosed all our "secrets". :D Some information that is posted here is probably best not shared with known enemies (like racial data). Thanks for the compliment but I don't have the time to moderate over there. My wife is getting on my...

Don't add anything until the ammonia and nitrite levels are undetectable for at least a week or two. When you go to add your next fish, only add 1 at a time. Do you quarantine? The several weeks between adding new fish is a perfect time to make sure the fish is healthy so you are less likely to...

How did you treat the tang? The only reliable treatments are hyposalinity and copper. Both of these treatments take several weeks to do adequately. If you can keep your QT fishless for a month, any ich in that tank will be gone. I would keep the tang in the hospital tank for several weeks before...

How is your water quality, especially nitrates? Xenia likes to live in areas of the sea with higher nitrates (e.g. near the discharge from seaside hotels). Most other corals do not like nitrates.

One of my fish had popeye just a few weeks ago after I had to rearrange the tank to catch an unwanted fish. I cured it with just a large water change and the use of garlic. If the popeye is caused by trauma alone, it will not kill the fish. However, it can lead to permanent blindness in that...

A ground probe will remove any stray electricity in your tank (caused by small leaks in powerheads, heaters, etc. However, I am not convinced that your fish has HLLE. Often a tang losing its color is a result of a dietary deficiency. Often times, feeding dried seaweed will help. I feed a...

It is called a grounding probe. If there is stray electricity in your tank, a grounding probe will remove it. However, other important causes are 1) poor water quality - nitrates are thought to play a role in this disease. Many people suggest waiting until a tank is several months old and has...

Russian Spy - Not too much happens in the first three days after you join. Slow down. You are not in any danger yet. Build yourself up before you worry about other people. Here's a few comments: Only newbies build up starbases quickly. Don't worry about them. Attacking starbases is an easy way...

Originally posted by Johnic It is a new tank, the ammonia is too high ? I just feed them garlic.. The garlic will not help the ammonia problem. Let me repeat what Beth said. Ammonia can be toxic! This needs to be dealth with soon. Your options are to do large water changes or try a product...

That area of regression is almost certainly from the fragging process. I would predict that your coral will do well. Corals can make a lot of mucus when they are injured.

Originally posted by ffishermen i sent the attack in two waves. first was 20ds then 25ds about 2.5 hours later. first attack i took 20%, lost. second, 40% lost. to make the defeat sting more he didn't even log in during both attacks. ffisherman: He may have a +4 attack racial bonus so...

The system level is determined by averaging the highest population planet with the lowest population planet. If you just colonized a free planet, the system level may seem to drop. I am surprised that you have any free planets around anymore. Ours were gobbled up a long time ago. Many people...

Originally posted by sammystingray elfdoctors, why don't you have a tag? . I'll have one before I have 200 points.

My home system is Red. The only other system that is red is the first system we took over and where I have 3 more planets. We have a star system level of 13 which is close to being in the rankings. I believe that the progression if from white to blue to green and then to yellow, red, and then...

Originally posted by Beth Ok, something fishy is going on with the farms. Twice now I have bought enough farms to upgrade and not only does it not upgrade but I don't get an added population point, but I do loose the pps that I invested! It is getting me mad. Do I not know something or what...

Another use of the colors is to let you know when a system is in play. Once you get your biology up, it is hard to keep an eye on all the different systems. Many of the systems will be the same color, but if you start to see light blue colors, there will usually have been a planet turnover in...

My ideal buildout for a planet is 13 farms, 12 factories (+2.4 because of my racial adjustments), 12 cybernets, and 11 farms. The thirteenth farm is usually bought with a supply unit. When you use a supply unit to buy a farm (or a research lab) you get money back. The extra farms helps you get...

It seems that the server had to be reset back in time ~36 hours. Attacks that had been underway seem to have gone through but many other actions have been reversed. Whatever science you had been studying at the time is probably very high. Everyone seems to have had the same thing happen to them...

Astrowars is still down! :nope: Anyone can form an alliance if they have $A8000 and are at least player level 5 and have fewer than 200 points. Once you have that amount of money, the option will show up on your trade screen. Many of the alliances are locally formed with each beta. Some, like...

Formalin baths (in a separate tank or container) are the preferred treatment for either cause of black ich. The procedure to do this is outlined in the FAQ sticky at the top of this forum.
