My water parameters are excellent and have been since my tank was cycled about four months ago. ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 0, and my ph is 8.2. I just went to my lfs and bought a lab style glass hydrometer. I tried to find a refractometer but they didn't even know what one was. When I got...

There is a infestation in my tank that I'm currently treating with hyposalinity treatment. I'm really not sure what the pathogen in my tank is. The symptoms are as follows: scraching, increased respiration, and hazy film like marks on the body. Are these symptoms of amyloodidium of cypto? Or...

I don't understand my yellow tang has come down with ich, as have all of my other fish, but my tang has stoped eating. My fish have been symptomatic for about 2 months. About a month and a half ago I started treatment. I lowered the salinity to 1.015 and started copper treatment. I then...

I have noticed that my yellow tang has developed strange orange-red marks on his skin. The fish is in excellent shape, shows no signs of sickness, and has a diet of purple seaweed, romaine lettuce, and flake food. He also has plenty of green algea to graze on. I don't Know what these marks...

I know this is probably a stupid question, but is it possible to keep turbo snails with 2 baby triggers (about 3in long). I have alot of micoalgae in a fish only aquarium, and I refuse to use chemicals to control the algae. If it's not possible to keep turbo snails would I be able to keep a...

I was just wondering if anybody knows, how long does it take for a humu humu and a niger trigger to reach full size repectively. I have them in a 72 gallon tank, and they are both about 3 inches. I'm eventually going to get a larger tank for them, but was wondering how long it takes for them...

I was just wondering, I lowered my salinity to 1.009 about about a week ago, but my salinity has been in the 1.015 to 1.009 for about a month. I have a fish only aquarium and originally lowered my salinity to kill ich(maybe amyloodidium). I just recently learned that 1.009 is the effective...

I have a simple question, how long does it take for huma huma's and niger's to reach for size respectively

I mean a 90 gallon is that to small for a niger and a huma huma? Also, they are babies right now how long does it take them to attain full size?

Thanks for the info, when the triggers get large I have a 90 gal in my house that I'm going to transfer them to. Do you think this is still to small?

I have a 72 gallon with a small huma huma, a damsel, yellow tang and a newly added small niger trigger. When I added the niger I expected some aggression from the huma huma, but the only fish who went after the niger was my yellow tang. The tang continues to bother the niger by constantly...

I have a 72 gallon tank with a baby huma huma trigger,large yellow tang, and an orange tail damsel. My orange tail damsel always bothers the huma huma by flaring out his tail and smack him in the face. If I was to put a small species of lion fish in the tank and the damsel did the same thing...

I have a 72 gallon tank with crushed coral substrate,lots of coral skeletons, and 3 large lava rocks. If I put a small live rock on each of the lava rocks would the small live rocks culture the lava rocks and make them live. Also can live rocks survive at a low salinity if they are acclimated...

About a month ago I had a outbreak of ich. I think it was marine velvet. It started with a domino damsel, who died rapidly. Then it spread to my orange tail damsel. At this point i dropped the salinity of my tank to about 1.015. The orange tail showed instant improvement, but then again...

i was wondering if it is okay to put a snow flake eel in with a orange tail damsel and big yellow tang. I also have a trigger. I read that snowflake eels are not as aggressive and will not bother the fish.

does a humu humu trigger become aggressive when it gets older? Right now the humu humu is a baby and has shown now signs of aggression towards my other fish. Also would it be okay to add another trigger to the tank, if so what is the most compatable trigger that would not fight with the humu...

Has anyone ever used hyposalinity treatment (lowering the salinity) to treat saltwater ich, if so could you please tell me if you were successful. I lowered the salinity of my tank about a month ago when one of my fish died and another fish was extremely ill. I saved the fishes life, but after...
