Thanks Aggie, What are good light brands for VHO or MH? I'd like to get a range from the BEST to REALLY GOOD light manufacturers.

Hi guys, I came home today and our housekeeper used this Lysol Disinfectant Spray that got on the outer surface of my acrylic tank. It now has this "frosted" look and I can't seem to get rid of it--any thoughts or ideas as to how I can get rid of this and re-clear it up? Thank you. If you have...

Hi guys, I'm starting to look into slowly setting up a 40 gallon to upgrade my 12 gallon. I'm just having difficulty finding lighting options for the inhabitants that I want with this 12 so I wanted to ask for your opinion. Are those sea-clear with the built-in wet/dry filters any good? I...

I'm sure they do, I was just hoping to find a more convenient option. If my fishies can get the same amount of nutrition from a freeze dried mysis, or just slightly less...I'd go for it. I'm not very good with handling seafood and since during the day when it's time to feed them I usually...

Thank you Beth. I will definitely start to set up a Quarantine tank now and hope they make it while it cycles through. I will change their diet and saw that Mysis Shrimp and some flake food was highly nutritional. Are freeze dried Mysis shrimp just as nutritional? If so, can anybody please...

The white is gone now...I'm more concerned about his weight loss. After they treated his skin at the LFS (they said it was not ich)...he looked much better after that. I have about 25 lbs of LR in there and a full bag's worth of LS.

1. State the problem as you see it and provide details. He's been really weird the past couple of weeks. A couple of weeks ago he started to develop this white coating--I brought him to the LFS and they said it wasn't Ich, that it was stress and medicated him. He looked better. Then I saw a...

My water is all good, i've been really good at keeping the levels well. I have an orange striped goby, it's a 12 gallon tank and I've had them for a couple months now.

Beth, My perc now has lost a LOT of weight...he's very skinny now but he still seems to have a healthy appetite. He seems to have a little gash behind his right fin...the other one has it too and I don't know where it came from. Any thoughts?

Hi guys, I had a question about Fish vs Corals. How much more ammonia do fish release vs corals? If I kept an all-coral tank, how would the water levels be in a week as opposed to a fish? Thanks.

What algae is bad (or worst)...green or brown? How do you get rid of them and what harmful effects can they have on your tank (other than making it look unsightly)...

I had a question... What's the difference between a 10k light, a 50/50 light, Blue Actinic and a True Actinic bulb? I'm going to retrofit my Eclipse 12 with 2 36 watt 50/50 lights (or whatever suits best for some corals). What kind of corals can I keep under 72 watts of lighting that my clowns...

I really doubt that my hermit was molting...I saw a big chunk of him dismantled...his head and his body. My hermits have molted before and it's got a white exoskeleton look to it--it never usually has meat attached to any part of it... :(

Sadly my boyfriend has my camera charger and my camera's out of battery so I can't post a pic. But now it seems that one of my fishes has developed some sort of light scratch on it. Behind its right front fin. I also found one of my hermits practically in pieces. It's a scarlet hermit, one...

Hi Beth, Yes, I'm sure that isn't it. It just seems like that the "white" on their stripes...like a couple was scraped off like it was paint...just like chipped paint. The skin looks perfectly fine, I just thought that this white was suppose to be PURELY solid.

Thanks Beth you're the bomb~! But how do you know the difference between Sloughing and Ich? They both could look the same.

I'm not really sure if it's a scratch...but since they're my first clownfishes...isn't their whites suppose to be solid? Not have orange areas appearing? It looks like paint that was chipped off a little--it's white and they have little white areas showing...after I saw them rubbing their...

Mine does this on the rocks and on the sand...usually on the tip of their nose. What should I do Beth? He was getting a white layer of white on him and I brought him to the LFS and they medicated him and he's looking much better. They also have been scratching on the sand so much (I think this...

Hi guys, I saw a picture of the Diseased Fish entitled Sloughing...what is that? I only see symptoms of Ich everywhere but I've never heard of this Sloughing...thanks.

Should I look into soft corals then? My clowns just look so lost and ever since my old anemone was taken away (it was getting sick in the old tank--brought it back to the LFS to be donated)...he's been very stressed out about it so I want to find him another host. Any help would be great! Thanks!
