I think my Ocellarius Clown is sick. His mouth is always open and appears to be swolen. No growths or white spots around it. His "cheeks" appear to be sunken in. His gills appear slightly swolen but he shows no signs of laboured breathing. He hasn't been eating right, just catches whatever...

I have 2 and all they do is kill snails. In the past 3 months they have killed 10 astrea and 2 turbos. Despite the 150 different shells I have in the tank.

I am beginning to think that my hammer coral has brown jelly. It has brown stringgy stuff around the outside edge that kind of floats around the coral. It is very easy to remove but the brown stuff comes back minutes after I clean it off. The coral's polyps seem to be retracting towards the...

Any ideas how to get those levels up and to keep them there??

I have a hammer and an octocoral in my aquarium that don't seem to be opening as much as they used to. Any ideas on why this is? My params are: S.G - 1.025 pH - 8.0 kH - 180 Calcium - 320 Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - Less than 5 Phosphate - 0 Temp - 80.1

would this be a good time to cut it up so that more will grow??

One of my mushrooms has decided to leave home. It detached itself from the rock it was on and is now just sitting on the bottom of the aquarium. Should I just leave it or should I net it to a rock?

I seem to have a very thin scum at the surface of the water in my tank. I have my filter return line blowing through a spray bar at the surface, as well as 3 power heads and a surface skimmer attached to my proten skimmer and I stll seem to get this scum. Any ideas how to get rit of this??

I bought an Eheim PRO II 2026 canister filter today to replace my Emporer 400. Now my question is, will removing my 400 and bio wheels cause any spikes in my water quality? Or can I just take it out with no worries? It is a 55gal tank with 60LBS live rock. It has been running since June 2 2004.

Can I also have the link please? rave.child@sympatico.ca

Depending on the tank I would say softies (leathers, shrooms, zoos) some LPS. I would stay away from SPS, anemones and clams.

Nevermind. The're bright blue which leads me to belive they are not true 03 actinic.

Does the coralife deluxe series aqualight (48" 260 watt) use true 03 actinic bulbs, or do they use those cheap blue bulbs? I recently bought one and want to know if I need to replace the bulbs or not.

Alk is 120-130 mg/L Calcium is 320mg/L

I never thought of that. We do have all of the windows and stuff closed, with the A/C on.

My Ph seems to be stuck around 7.8ish. Any ideas what I can do to raise this to a more appropriate level? I have tried perfect Ph and it is ok for a couple of days and then it falls back to 7.8. Alk is usually around 120 to 130, and I use instant ocean salt. Any help would be much appreciated.
