Agree with aquaknight that a big clam will seriously drain your calcium :) One of the reasons I run a carbon/phosphate reactor is 1 -- it was like 35 bucks for the 2 stage reactor 2 -- great preventative measure should you have any kind of toxin on your hand (like dish soap or detergent) and...

I think you should know why they are killing them -- it's not to be inhumane but they aren't native to the area and are wiping out the native species. Hurricanes/etc have made it possible for these species to enter the local waters and populate taking food supply, habitat and are preying on...

They mostly eat copepods unless you are lucky enough to get them to eat mysis shrimp. Probably too late for him to learn to eat frozen foods at this point --- cool little fish though.

Yup I was thinking salt creep all along before getting to the suggestion --- really have to make sure it can suck air in to produce the micro bubbles.

Thinking a cleaner shrimp will remove or cure ich is wishful thinking as well. Ich has to go host free for at least 6 week. Sometimes a fish's own health can fight it off but doesn't mean they are cured. Fish can survive hypo -- thats it but ich doesn't affect inverts or corals.

Neither are needed but Protien Skimmer > UV.

Well can't I shake things up then? It wouldn't be my first job but I would take it over McDonalds as there is barely a difference in the product I'd be handling :D

************** has videos on how it all works -- or search on youtube -- very informative.

I think you'll find your yellow tang to be a pig and eat just about anything you put in there -- but do offer it greens frequently to eat.

The ich is still there fyi. Good Luck

If it makes you feel any better I know of a 13 year old beautiful heavily stocked 120g reef tank that runs no skimmer or sump or media filter. Does a weekly water change with water that sits in crushed coral (the acid from the water eats at the substrate thus balancing the pH, alk and adds...

The size and condition of the fish I'd be nervous moving it around more than I needed and doing dips with such a small fish -- especially as they have a low survival rate to begin with. As cute as they are it's still best to buy them around the 3" size vs the small thumbnail size. Do what you...

It's hard enough to tell if you know what you're looking for in person let alone the pictures. Unless they are in a big tank or bonded you may very well end up with one.

In general tangs don't get along with other same shaped tangs --- but in large groups they seem to do well in some of the larger aquariums.

Our culture is really pretty closed minded compared to the rest of the world on what's accepted and what's not.
