    What can I put with a Passer Angel in my 125 Gallon. I want fish that are bigger and wont hide behind the rockes. My new passer is big and beautifull. He swims and does not hide.

    like a 1/2 inch by inch mark on his side. Like red looking now. Almost bloody looking. It first started out as white like puss. I thought maybe he scratched his side against a rock or something. Some of my friends think it might be a fungus or other fish attacking him? Any ideas or what medicine...

    Blonde Naso Tang...

    I added a Blonde Naso tang to my 125 gallon tank last week. He doesnt seem to be eating. I seen him eat a little of seaweed selects. I tried giving him formula 2, mysis shrimp, blood worms, brine shrimp, dried krill, and flake food. He wont touch it. My other fish just eat away right in front of...

    One of my Tangs...

    I know. But I have had now 3 LFS tell me it is good to put a probe in there just in case. So screw it. Why risk it. But I have a feeling it is his diet. He will be fed better. Will this line ever go away? From what I heard, No???

    One of my Tangs...

    Marineman, I dont think I was feeding him to good. I talk to another LFS and they said lack of nutrition. So I am giving him those seaweed sheets, formula 1 and 2, mysis shrimp, blood worms, and brine shrimp. I mix it up. He eats everything. I ordered a probe just in case. The same LFS said that...

    Preventing Ich

    I swear by the UV sterilizer!! I use to have problems with my tangs getting ich a couple of years a go. Then I put a UV sterilizer on my FOWLR tank and never had ich again! In my opinion, don't run it on a reef tank unless you put it on for only a few hours or maybe at night on a timer.
