I've had my tank now for almost 6 weeks. I too, have a couple of questions about what I'm starting to find in my tank on the live rock. One creature I've found today kind of has the shape of a beatle. He is the same color as the rock. He came out today for a few minutes and then disappeared back...

Do you have a skimmer? I know that the skimmer will lift the Kick Ick out of the water. I think that if the ick parasites don't have a host, they will eventually die anyway. I'm keeping a close eye on this forum so I can learn too!

Thank you.

What is all the spotty red algae that is on the tank walls? I have to scrub about every 3 days or I lose control of it.

LFS said to add several fish to keep bio load and keep tank cycling properly. It doesn't matter now, anyway. The fish are gone and I know from experience to go slowly from now on. I'll be glad when this hobby is advanced more and there won't be so many conflicting opinions on everything. The...

Mom2camnja... How's your tang and starfish today?

Can you explain the ammonia spike thing to me? I have a test kit and the ammonia always was at 0 everytime I tested it. I didn't want to go by my own judgement since I'm new at this, so I took water samples to LFS several times and was repeatedly told.."your water is fine"

The fish that I do have left is a yellow tail damsel and I must say that even though he's little...he's spunky. I figured that I would lose him too, but he's OK. I'm going to wait another month and then maybe get another fish if everything checks out OK.

Sorry to here about your losses. I just posted in the "new to the Hobby" forum and related what I've experienced this last month with my 55 gal. I did use "Kick Ick" to treat ick in my tank and I've lost my tang, my clown and my butterfly fish. But my situation has been different because mine is...

On Nov. 29, I finally got my 55 gal. set up and running. I went to my LFS to get some damsels after everything was ready. I had read many times that damsels were hardy and would be the best choice, of course. LFS said, "why don't you try this new 24 hour cycling product and go ahead and come...
