I've had this fish for about 2 yrs. I thought that he was just getting fat on all of the amphipods. (I hooked up a refugium to this tank and I have a lot of them.) He moves about the tank like normal but his eyes look funny, like there is extra flesh and his head is a lot bigger. His color...

I had this tank for over 2 years. It is a 125gal. (2) 175 watt MH, berlin hangon skimmer and a 29 gal refugium (I am having trouble growing grape caulerpa) RO/DI water. It is not a DSB. I have about 150 LBs of live rock. Last water test 6-19: CA 360 Alk 3.09 no phosphate nitrate less than...

I seem to have hit a low for my tank. I lost a yellow tang, 2 neon gobies and 2 hippos to some mystery illness a couple of months ago. I bought a blue spotted jaw fish 3 weeks ago. He didn't even last 24 hrs. I found him on the floor the next morning. Yesterday my blue maxima died and now I...

I don't have enough to shade. Right now it is pretty thin. Wrassecal, tell me more about your refugium.

I have posted recently about the problem that I am having getting grape caulerpa to grow. Please be patient, I still have not found the problem. I started this refugium because of this board and I believe in the benefits but I am frustrated and almost ready to give up. I have a 29 bow with...

Maybe it is not as cool as you think. The aiptasia is on the upper inner edge by the mantel not on directly inside. Am I wrong to think that the aiptasia is going to sting the clam?

I have an aiptasia on the inner part of my clam. How can I get rid of it without hurting the clam?

I am having trouble getting my grape caulerpa to grow again. It was doing great, I even took some in to the LFS and exchanged for some food. I've done some tests but everything is in the normal range. I have test kits for alk., Ca, pH, iron, nitrate, nitrite, ammonia and phosphate. What...

Thank you both for the info. I was like a lot of people and did not research before saying it was ok for her to have one. (She is 13). She wants to keep it in her room so I want it to stay as clean as possible. I think that I will look into using river rock. Right now I have a lot of...

I saw your pic with a turtle tank. My daughter has a red earred slider that a friend gave her for her birthday. Turned out to be expensive for me. I put it in a 29 gal tank with a 350 magnum to help clean the water. (Tank also has a hood with UV light, night light and warming light.) How...

I would like to be able to buy and trade with others but I don't know how best to pack things. I have never ordered over the internet so I don't know how most things come. Does anyone have any experience with this? I would like to ship some caulerpa.

I have a Mag 7 that pumps from my sump (which is on the floor) to my 29. I put a tee on the tube inside my tank. The return is an overflow box the goes back to my sump. My lighting may be on the border of not being enough. 1- 15watt strip light (the kind that come with the 29 setup) and a 55...

I have a 29 gal refugium hooked up to my 125 gal reef. I have grape caulerpa growing in it. What causes it to turn white/clear or brown? I harvested a couple of handfuls last week and now I noticed areas that appear to be dying. I have heard of it turning white but not brown and mushy. (My...

I thought that I would give you an update on my Regal Tang. There has been much improvement. I lowered the salanity. No meds. I think this fish will make it!! It was such a good feeling to see this fish eat. It will no longer stay at the bottom. I bought frozen formula 1 and 2, spirulina...

I need parts for a Magnum 350. Before I spend money on it should I consider buying something else? I am wondering if most people like Magnums or is there something better? I want to use it on to run carbon and phosguard. I have a 120 and a 125 gal.

NM reef what do you feed yours?

Sorry I don't know what a grounding probe is. I read your article about QT tanks a while back and I put pieces of PVC. He still likes the heater. I raised the heater so he will try and find another spot. I also put in some fake plants that I will use only for this tank. I have also been...

under belly. He does not look starved. There are whitish/gray patches on his body, not dots.
