Are there any exceptions though? Or would any LPS/softy be able to survive with that amount of lighting?

I have a 24" Coralife 65w 10,000k daylight, 65w true actinic 03 PC light over my 37g . The wpg is 3.5. I've been told I can get LPS and softies, but I'd like to know what people in this forum suggest with this lighting. I cannot afford to switch to MH lighting, so I am stuck with what I have...

Originally posted by sweetreef the ones that like the sand are t-derasa and squamosa they are the only lower light clams!! When you say they're the only "lower light" clams, how low of a light do you mean? I have PC lighting, about 3.5 wpg. I'm guessing not THIS low of a lighting, even if...

Check the Diseased Fish thread. There are two pictures of a yellow tang with black ich, this could be what your tang has. It is a flatworm parasite. You didn't say anything about putting the tang in a QT before being put in the main tank so I'm assuming you don't have a QT. Sometimes these...

How does roasting the garlic for a few minutes make it ineffective? It becomes really juicy that way... The fish is doing fine, he is eating and swimming normal and hasn't passed the virus to either of the other fish. I think my royal gramma has a slight case of ich, but it is hard to tell...

I'm pretty sure my occelaris clown has lymph. He has this big caulifower fuzz ball above his left fin. It's been there for about a week and has grown a small amount. I have one other clown and a royal gramma in the main tank with him along with 2 cleaner shrimps, 2 peppermints, about 15...

OK, update on the fuzz ball. It is still on my clown. I have been feeding my fish a mixture of frozen mysis shrimp, marine cuisine and freshly minced garlic for the past 2 days. I will be feeding this to them for now on. But I'm just wondering, if this is lymphocytis, how long will it take...

Yeah, my 2 cleaners clean my fingers off when I hand-feed them sometimes, but I've only ever seen one shrimp (once) try to grab my royal gramma to clean him but he scared him I guess and neither shrimp has tried to clean the fish since then. The fish don't even notice they're in the tank w/them..

I have 2 skunk cleaners, 2 peppermints, 15 snails, 8 hermits, 1 unknown crab from LR (hopefully only one), 2 occelaris clowns and 1 royal gramma. I think my fish have a very very slight case of ich, I processed a bunch of different foods today w/tons of garlic, and have started feeding them...

I have 20 pounds of live rock and mixed it with about 20 pounds of lace rock in my 37g. This is the first time I have seen this crab. I am unable to get a picture of him because I have only seen him once and he hid pretty quickly out of the light so using a camera was pointless. I have not...

It had to have been in the liverock when I bought it because I did not purchase this guy. I'm hoping he is a good crab and isn't the reason I've lost 2 hermits and a shrimp. And he has to be pretty hardy because he survived the cycle. I put all the liverock in there to help cycle the tank.

Anyone... ? :notsure:

I was looking in my tank for any unusual critters because I seem to find more and more every night with just the blue actinic lights on, and I found a CRAB!!! It scared the crap out of me to say the least because I just saw some legs at first and had no idea what it could be. It's body is...

Yeah, I know Beth in the disease forum and a lot of other people say to use freshly minced garlic. Not the stuff you can buy at the grocery store and now the Kent or any other aquarium stuff. The real garlic works the best.

OK thanks. I just roasted a clove of garlic and mushed some marine cuisine with it just as something to feed them now. They LOVED it. The leftovers from that are in the fridge and I will use it for tomorrow. I'm going to take the rest of the marine cuisine (3.5 oz) that is in the freezer...

Do these stars get any larger? And does anyone know what these tongues are from?

I know this should be in the diseases and treatment section but people answer a LOT faster in this section. My fish have ich right now, not terrible, and I don't have a QT so I'm going to see if just feeding them frozen food soaked in freshly minced garlic will help kick the ich. So do I just...

The tongue things are also buried in the sand.

I'm starting to find tons of critters living in my live rock and live sand. I have found quite a few white-ish serpent/brittle stars, the biggest one I have seen is only about an inch from one end of a leg to the opposite end. Does this type of star get any larger than this? There are at...

Does anyone know what this is and how I can get rid of it?
