By huma huma I am assuming you mean picasso. There are a few types of huma humas but they all should eat about the same stuff. I feed mine silversides, krill, and squid soaked in zoe once a day.

I am hoping you cycled your tank already and I am guessing you did. Where did you buy these fish and did you watch them eat at the store? (This is always a huge thing for me) When I buy a fish I always make sure the fish eats and eats aggresively. Coral Beauties are known to be funny eaters...

Sorry I must have forgot to say I do have Q tanks and they are in there now with a powerhead and some air bubbles. Do I need a filter? I didn't want to put the filter from my tank in because then the filter would be killed off with the copper. There is no LR or LS... but i need to get some...

Here is an update: I decided against the hyposalinity because after reading about how inaccurate the arm salt measures are. I usually take all the advise and follow through but the owner seemed to know just the thing to cure ick. I know.. I know don't listen to LFS but these people specialize...

I was wondering who carries Marex. I can't seem to find it on the stores I shop at can anyone help me thanks.

Ok I am going to my fish store to see what they have to say about my fish. I may have misdiagnosed it and it may be VELVET and not ich. The spots don't seem to be sticking out but instead are like in the flesh and mostly on the fins. Do I treat velvet the same way or is it different? Thanks...

Will I need a ph buffer to keep the ph at the right level? Will this be all I need to keep the ph stable? Thanks once again.

Ok I think I want to try hyposalinity. Will this work? And how do low do I go with the salt level...i heard 1.010 but that seems low? Also how long do i need to take to lower the salt level so i don't kill my fish? Also, I need to set up my Q tank, right? Will Maycran II do anything...

I just returned home from a weekend and discovered that my trigger and grouper have white specs on them. What can I do? I just added a live rock and a little LFS water that came with it. Is there anyway I can save my fish. Please help. Thanks. I am doin a search too. I have never seen ich...

I agree. I have a huma huma in a 55 gal and i am forced to up grade soon to a 125 because my trigger loves to swim. I know it is hard to take a fish back but you really should research before you buy.

what lighting are you using? and equipment? and water conditions? Just wondering to see if I could put an condi in too.

I have moved my 55 gallon tank two times this year(one of the two was last week). Here is how to move a 55 gal tank: 1. Prep tank for moving (get equipment undone, clean glass and filters if needed) 2. Go buy 4 32-gallon trash cans (the soft plastic rubbermaid cans(not toxic to fish)) and...

This is a very expensive hobby and very time consuming as I am sure others on board will tell you. If you don't have the time and money as you stated above I would advise against going into this hobby. Just my .02.

Put the live sand on top of the dead sand... if you bury the live sand it will die also. Add the live sand after the cycle so the cylce doesn't kill some of the organisms in the live sand. And yes be very patient.

Here is how you can do it. First add your base sand (not live sand) and make sure you rinse it out good to get all the dust out of it so the sand won't cloud up your tank. Then mix the salt and RO or RO/DI water in container and pour it in slowly. After you get salt level between 1.021-1.025...

As by the title I am getting confused on which camera to buy. I have done all the searchs and found that most people like the Coolpix 995. However that camera is about $400 for a reconditioned one on ----. The other cameras I am looking at are the Canon A40 and the Sony Cybershot S30. I...

I have an miniatus grouper and at first I hated him. I did my research and had a huma huma trigger in there first. And when I added that grouper he tried to eat (or just a show of dominance) my trigger and wounded him on his nose. My trigger got so sick that he wouldn't even swim. I used the...

i think he ment the live rock yall. I have high nitrates to and have no clue why? But my tanks are fo so it doesnt' really affect them. Will high nitrates hurt LR?

I moved my 55 gal saltwater tank about 4 months ago and used 4 20gal trash cans to store water, rock and sand. I moved the tank 15 miles or so. After I was done I returned the trash cans. Hope this helps.

I went throught a ton of information from websites and searchs from other previous post, however I am still confused on what is the best way to promote coraline growth. I am buying LR from gulf view this week but want to get on the right track so my LR doens't die out. The tank is a 55 gal...
