    Making a Refugium

    You should have a check valve on the return(pump) side that allows water to flow only one direction in case of a power outage. When I built my sump/refug I started and primed the pump and then decided I needed to reroute one of the pipes. It was around dinner time so I unplugged the pump and...

    clownfish disapearing

    My Maroon Clown committed suicide last night. I found a dried up piece of "beff jerky" on the floor. It looked a little like my clownfish. I gave him a proper send off in the circular vortex. Check around your tank. You may find some petrified clowns.

    Yellow Tang Attacking Fish!

    A while back I got a Yellow Tang. Once acclimated to the tank he became very territorial and aggressive. He hid behind rocks and only came out to wreak havoc on the other fish. He killed a Flame Angel and two Blue-green Chromis and in the process damaged his mouth. He couldn't eat and...

    Sally Lightfoot molt?

    I had two Lightfoot crabs. One molted and a transparent shell was left after the molt and a "new" Lightfoot crab. The other crab appeared to try to molt but just died clutching a rock. I thought maybe he had molted but when I picked up the shell of the crab it was heavy and smelled bad.
