    Lost two more fish - about to give up.

    The medicine didn't kill the starfish. The starfish disappeared before we got the new fish, sorry if I wasn't clear about that. My fear was that there was a rotting starfish under my sand that was somehow poisioning the tank. We were careful about the medicine. My wife got a very specific...

    Lost two more fish - about to give up.

    Anybody have clues to what may have happened to it? I am unfamiliar w/ the decompsition rate of something like that. Could it be under the sand?

    Lost two more fish - about to give up.

    I don't know exactly what kind of medicine it was. I know it turned our tank blue and stained the silicone holding the corners together. It didn't hurt the live rock, and one of the hermits survived. It did kill a snail though. I would put a clown in, but thats sort of what started this whole...

    Lost two more fish - about to give up.

    I'll admit, I'm not an expert, my wife does most of it, but she's on the board almost daily trying to glean knowledge. Tank is 65 gallons. Yes to live rock. Bottom I think is a crushed coral base w/ live sand on top. During the year the tank had the remnants of a cleaning crew...I think two...

    Lost two more fish - about to give up.

    Well, our baby puffer died this morning. Last night he was looking okay, and eating and swimming around...this morning dead. He had been suffering from what looked like a mild case of ich that he got immediately upon entering our tank, but my wife was treating him with medicine (the stuff that...

    ? for Squidd, or anyone, RE: HOB overflows

    Okay, I've attached a diagram of what I understand so far. Here are my questions (so far): A) First, is this right so far? B) Do I need to pump out of the overflow, or will gravity/suction take care of that? C) What about a fuge? Do I need a seperate tank or can I build it in here somewhere...

    I'm wondering where the HOB's in this post were acquired. I know I've seen them somewhere, but my mind is drawing a blank. https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/show...4&postcount=36 Thanks. EDIT: See below.

    Lion fish died...tank poisoned?

    OK, thanks for your replies. I'm going to run a full gamut of tests on it tonight, but was just curious if there was something out of the ordinary I should look for. Like I said, the clown was a very healthy and hardy fish and he went from there to very sick to dead in the span of a few days...

    Lion fish died...tank poisoned?

    Our lionfish died this weekend while I was out of town. He was okay and alive Friday night when I left, but dead when I arrived back home Saturday afternoon. I took him out of the tank, which left my clownfish alone in there. Then next day, Monday, I went to look at the tank and the clown had...
