I have a colt frag that I have had for about two weeks now, so far it has been doing great, but this morning I noticed one of its branches looks damaged almost like it has been cut. Its visibly different from the other branches in color and texture now. Also the colt is laying over like its in...

2 clowns and 1 SFE is overstocked for a 30 gal tank????

I have 2 clowns, 1 snow flake eel, 30 gal, starting up a 125 gal to move the sailfin into.

Are sailfin tangs shy? is it uncommon for one to hide all the time? If it is unusual what would cause this behavior?

On Wednesday I got a new arrow crab from the lfs... I was watching it tonight because it climbed up high on a piece of live rock which i thought was unusual it usually sits on the sand and eats. But while watching it the tail end of it opened up and it started pulsating and little white things...

David, Not sure if you remember me or not but I used to be on the totally texas message board as "Damn Lucky". You and I have been out shark fishing before out of Sabine Pass, and tried to go offshore out of Aranass pass back in the late 90's. It was horrible weather by the time i got there and...

Sorry I got it wrong...Its a White Sebae Anemone not a sea pen... Still new and learning the species.

I just aquired a sea pen last night, after the acclimation period and introduction in the tank, its doing awesome... My clowns slept in it all night!! They seem to love it as a new addition to the tank. My question is this... I put the sea pen on the substrate which is about 2" of sand, this...

I just got my first SFE yesterday, after acclimating him and releasing him into my tank he is doing great. But like many other posts I have read he is in hiding behind my rock, I want to coax him out so I can view him easier. What is a good way of doing this other than feeding time? If I make a...

Hello, I really enjoy all the discussions on the board and have learned tons of helpful things here. I have a 20G tall tank that just completed its cycle. 5 weeks and my levels are all good. Nitrates-10 Nitrites-0 Ammonia-0 Salinity-1.023 PH 8.8 These levels have been consistant for a little...

I currently use the swing arm tester. I will look into getting a different type. I do use DI water when topping off the tank though, this does bring down my levels some but the increase overnight. Is it normal to have salinity levels increase overnight like I am. After topping off the tank with...

Yesterday my salinity level was 1.031, I did a 20% water change and it reduced to 1.027. Today I checked it again and its back to 1.031... What gives? Is there something I am doing wrong here? How can i get the salinity to stablize around 1.025? 37g tall tank hang on protein skimmer biowheel 350...

I dont have a lot of algea growing as yet... So I will probably reduce the numbers, I can always increase as needed. Would you recommend putting in any fish right now suck as Tangs? It would be nice to see fish in my tank after all the work and patience I have invested to date. But if it is too...
