Originally Posted by gmann1139 Based on your stocklist, it looks like you've almost doubled the bioload of your tank within the last month. Keep very, very close watch on your NH4 and NO2. It can take a couple weeks to creep up, and then BAM!, you have to deal with a spike, which stresses your...

COOL! Thanks Sepulatian. I will set up my qt tank and get it cycled just incase. Thanks for all the help. I just want to keep my fish alive!!! I've become very attached to them and would be sad if I lost one.

Hi Beth Thank you for all of your expertise in helping me with my ick problems. I know you are the go to person. I have read your thread before and understand that the ick is still in my tank, but if it is not affecting my fish should I worry and do a hyposalinity treatment just to rid my tank...

Hi All, I have a question regarding ick. I have had an outbreak of ich in my tank that happened about 4 weeks ago when I added a 2" threadfin butterfly and 3" Moorish idol both caught from the ocean. After I added both fish they each had a few spots of ick (2-4 spots ea). A few days later my...

Originally Posted by Keri Fun! I have no idea what kind it is but that's definately a cool hitchhiker! Can you get any pics of it's head? The colours are kind of like a ribbon eel - does it's head look anything like this? I can't tell if the tail is very long and thin or ends more bluntly Or...

Hey all, Just wanted to share something I thought was pretty cool. I set up my tank about 4 months ago and saw a baby eel swimming around. I suppose he came from the live rock or live sand. Well I just did a water change and saw him again. He's really tiny about 1.5 inches. I took a few...

Hey Crimzy, sorry to hear about one of your MI's. I want to thank you for sharing your experience with these beautiful fish. You've inspired me to try one! I went fishing last week wed and caught 1 juvi MI. One of my other friends who I went fishing with decided to catch and try two. So far...

Originally Posted by srfisher17 Gee, none of the travel brochures show dirty harbors. Most coastal harbors are constantly flushed clean though. But your point is valid. IMO, once eating, Idols just aren't that difficult. Assuming good diet, lots of space, and peaceful, stable conditions (like...

damn love your tank... I live in Hawaii and I've caught Moorish Idols and have tried to keep them on several occations. I've been able to keep 1 alive for about 6 months. In the beginning he didn't eat anything and I tried everything. He was only in a 55 with no live rock. I finally got him...

Aloha! I'm new here and have a question regarding a fish I recently purchased. I was told it was a blue angel by the LFS. I did some research and there seems to be no definitive description of a Blue angel. My fish has a yellowish tail as well as a blue but not defined crown. It also has...
