My alkalinity was a little low when I did the water. Do you think that could have been the problem. I just have never had this happen before.

No I did not expose it to any other water other than the new salt water that I used to refill the tank. Time wise it was the normal time that it takes me to do a water change. I would say no longer than 15 to 20 minutes

Last week I did about a 20% water change in my 90 gallon tank. The next day all the coraline algae at the top of the tank from where the water line was with the change turn white. Does anyone have any suggestion what could have happen here. I have done these changes many of time and this did not...

no I have not caught him yet. This guy is good he can see me coming across the room. What I have been doing for now is spot feeding the other tangs and they are starting to look a little better. I guess right after the holidays I'm going to have to dismantle the tank a little to catch him. If...

I agree with all of you. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to catch him. He's very smart and fast. He see's that net and won't come out from behind the rock. I have tried several time to corner him with no luck. This is the first mistake I made with this tank. I got caught up in is beauty...

:notsure: is there a better time to bump up the calcium in your tank. Another word is it better to do it at night when the lights are off or day when their on. Or does it really not matter. Also, what are your thoughts versies Turbo Caulk or B- Ionic. Thanks in advance for any help that you can...

did they send you the correct ballast. is it a one light ballast. I would check with the company you bought it from and make sure it's the proper ballast:confused:

Do you have any brittle stars and if so i would suspect them guys as why your fish are disappearing. I had the same problem a few months back and finally i saw one of my star fish having a great dinner on one of my large fish. I really don't think these predators should be in a home fish tank...

:confused: Does anyone I have a good way of capturing a star fish. I have for a while now suspected these guys of killing all my fish. I have even gotten up in the middle of the night to try to catch these guys but to no avail they have not been out or have not exposed themselfs enough to grab...

Any one have any ideas on how to trap and catch large Brittle Stars. I suspect them of being the culprits that have been killing my fish 10 to be exact:help:

i'm not 100% sure if your fish have ick but my experience with fish with ick they usually show signs of being sick like swim on their sides or not swim at all. I thought you said that they just disappeared over night. If your fish do have ick you have to remove them all and leave them out of the...

you don't have any Brittle Stars in there do you. I'm going thru the same thing myself right now but I'm suspecting my Brittle Stars are the culprets. I have lost 10 large fish in the last two weeks. these fish were not sick, I would feed them at night and they would very aggressive in eating...

I have a 90 gallon tank with about 125 lbs. of live rock. I was stold by one of the sales people at my LFS that I should take out the Bio Balls in my wet -dry sump filter and just use the protein skimmer which I have, and the live rock in the tank for filtration. Has anyone ever done this and is...
