I am now in Houston,Tx but home is Charleston..can help you there..but you did not say which city. Regards

Please do not add all your fish at once...big mistake..especially with only 55 gallons. Good luck rgds

I noticed on your Bio, you registered dec 20 and stated you were just in marine environment for 2 weeks..it is appx one month since then... thus, I think your losses are due to,to many (nice) fish to soon...when you restart your 55, you should have only 2 or 3 small fish to start the cycle...

Don't you think it quite risky to add an angel before having cycled the tank...I am fairly new also but believe your Angel sould only be added to a more mature tank. Good Luck...I hope I am wrong. Regards

I have had a 150 fowlr since oct, and have just set up a 29gal qt...I too beleived if I was careful picking heathly fish and constantly made sure my water conditions were ideal that QT was just an excess.....wrong..QT is definitely the way to go .. rgds

I was just reading yesterday in one of the books descibing various fish and it said this was a normal behavior. rgds

Do invertabrates and crustaceans,i.e., anemones and cleaner shrimp pose the same degree of risk of transmitting disease without quarantine?Is there a preventive medication that should be used in their quarantine? This refers to a fowlr. Regards

Thanks, Terry B, I think u are correct, almost all the food fare you recommened were offered but not accepted.He only took the live brine shrimp, but I only supplied them 3/4 days a week.The other days, the other various fare were supplied. The copperband passed yesterday.The Blackback only...

after 28 days just lost Blackback butterfly, he appeared to be in good health and was constantly graging on the live rock.He would not eat live brine shrimp or any of the various flakes offered.4 days prior to showing any stress, he began to eat spirilina flakes, then two days later actually...

I just added a maroon and a longtenacled and the clown went to the anemone as soon as it hit the bottom of the tank.. rgds

Just added a long tenalcled anemone along with a gold maroon clown...how can you tell if an anemone is alive. It has color and the clown is heavily involved with it but it's only movements seem to be motivated by the clown and the water flow...it has not attached to or burried into the sand. rgds

thanks to all, i did not think the 40ppm was particularily high, my concern was that there was no change..40ppm every day...actually thought it would spike higher considering the amount of detrius...the fish are still quite perky and look strong...
