What Corals Work With Bi-Color and Coral Beauty Angel? Any suggestions on corals to avoid? I am thinking Leathers would be safe. Any other suggestions?

Could you provide an average range? 6 months on the low end? 1 year on the high end?

How long would a typical coral andor anenome live under standard florescent lighting?

I noticed that a couple of my fishs back fins are a little tattered andor split. If this normal from minor nipping and rubbing against rocks? Will the fins heal over time?

I have a flame angel, coral beauty, and bi-color angel together in an 80 gallon FOWLR system. They do great together, and exist peacefully. Make sure you drip acclimate them and add them together.

If you want to make money, it is best to have your own "Marine Consulting" Business. A friend of mine has a B.S. in Marine Biology. He owns a marine store, but his real source of income is designing large saltwater systems for wealthy customers. For example, he just finished installing a...

Thanks Folks. As a point of reference, the Oklahoma Aquarium quarantines all new fish at 1.008 & 11ppt for 30-45 days. They claim they have seen greater results with Ick at this salinity. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issu...2004/short.htm "At the Oklahoma Aquarium, the use of hyposalinity has...

My last water change ended up bringing it down to 1.008 & 11ppt. The fish have been in this state for about 12 hours, and show no sign of stress. They are swimming and eating normally. The Ick is having a [hr] attack, and knows the hour of its doom is near. Most of the spots are already gone...

I am in the final stages of lowering my salinity for Hyposalinity. I am using a refractometer with ATC that has been calibrated using distilled water. The refractometer reads 14ppt, but the specific gravity is around 1.010. If I want to get the specific gravity down to 1.009, the salinity is...

Has Anyone Ever Kept A Fuzzy Dwarf Lion With A Cleaner Shrimp Successfully?

I have my Orange Linkia in a quarantine tank right now. I am treating my DT with Hypo for Ich. I noticed a green "thing" coming out of the top of a small hole. Is this the Linkia passing waste? If not, does anyone have any idea what it may be? Thanks

Can someone please answer this part of my question: "If you do this, do you have to wait any time before you put fish in the QT?"

One other question I had: If I remove my liverock from the DT to rubbermaids, and than Hypo the DT with my fish in it, is their a risk of Ammonia spikes? What impact is removing the live rock during the hypo period going to have on water quality? I am running carbon. Thanks

I am thinking of treating my FOWLR system with Hyposalinity for Ich. I am going to remove my liverock and inverts first. A few questions I have, that I did not see covered in Beths FAQ: 1 - How low can the Salinity go? I have heard of some Hypo attempts failing at .009. Can you safely go to .008...

No, I am certain it was the medicine that nuked him. Absolutely no doubt in my mind. He litterly looked like he was nuked, and was perfectly healthy a couple of hours before. I followed the directions on the bottle. So if the directions are wrong, I guess I used to much.

I am treating my tank for Ich, and tried a dual combination Rally + Kick Ich. I have a FOWLR system. Both medications are labeled reef and invert safe. I followed the directions on the bottles to the letter. When I woke up this morning, my Mandarin was white all over and it looked like a lot of...
