    Fish disappearing.

    You may be right . It is very possible that my anemone did eat my fish. These anemones have been thriving under my 175 MH's. I have a pair of maroon clowns that take care of them plus I feed them silversides on a regular basis. I have a new 120, with 400 watt MH and actinics, that I have...

    Fish disappearing.

    No unusal activity from the anemones. No cover on the tank but I inspected the floor first thing because I have had that happen before. The tang was about two years old and I am guessing a little larger than a silver dollar, second largest fish in my tank. pH was 7.8 or as low as what my...

    Fish disappearing.

    I posted this on the fish discussion a few days ago. I have not had much of a response and I was hoping to get some more views here. I lost 2 neon gobies and now my yellow tang. No sign of them at all. No body parts, just plain gone. There was no indication that they were even sick. If the...

    Disappearing fish?

    nitrites 10 or less nitrates 0 ammonia 0 pH was 7.8 now 8.2 alk 2.29 CA 370 pppm I am adjusting my ESV to raise my alk and calcium. The only thing different in this tank is that 2 months ago I turned off my UV sterlizer and added a refugium. It is a 29 gal with approx. 3-4 inches of sand and a...

    Disappearing fish?

    I lost 2 neon gobies and now my yellow tang. No sign of them at all. No body part, just plain gone. There was no indication that they were even sick. If the fish suddenly died would my maroon clown feed it to my anemones? I have 3 large rose anemones and a long tentacle. I will be getting...

    Aggressive regal tang

    After observing my 125 for a longer period of time it is quite obvious to me that it is one of my regal tangs has become the aggressor. I started with 3 and right away one jumped out of the tank and died. The 2 got along fine. In the fall I acquired a friends tank and fish which included a regal...

    Success Pairing Maroon Clowns!!

    Thank you for your insight, I appreciate the response. After observing my tank for a longer period of time it is quite obvious to me that it is one of my blue tangs that has become the aggressor. I started with 3 and right away one jumped out of the tank and died. The 2 got along fine. In...

    Success Pairing Maroon Clowns!!

    Rook, I know very little about maroon clowns and thought maybe you might know. I have 2 maroons that are, what I was told, a mated pair. I've had them for more than a year. The female is becoming very large. She is almost bigger than my yellow tang. The male is quite small, they look like a...

    acclimate grape caulerpa

    Thanks for the info. This is my first attempt at doing this and it is because of this board. How much iron for a 29 gal and do you think what I have for lighting is enough? 55 watt PC and 15 watt regular aquarium light. I have a glass top on my fuge. Any advantage to leaving it open? I...

    acclimate grape caulerpa

    Yes, a refugium. I've been waiting to find some grape caulerpa and just was lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time. Do you light yours 24/7 and how many watts per gal.? I have a 55 watt PC and a 15 watt aquarium light. Mine is a 29 bow. Do you think I need more light? I...

    acclimate grape caulerpa

    I just received some caulerpa that a friend took out of a tank. What do I need to do to acclimate it? What about lights, should I turn them on 24/7 right away or should I slowly increase?

    rose anenomes

    I've had mine for over a year. I was curious also about the bubble tips and I came to the conclusion that it was mostly due to light. (IMO, only an observation. It has also been suggested that water quality has an effect, which makes sense.) I have mine under MH and they have no bubble tips...

    Sick percula

    I should also add that I have a coral banded shrimp and a spiney urchin. The spots on the clown are different in size and are on the body. I don't see any on the fins. I was reading about the QT tank and I don't think my tank is ready for this fish anyway. I used half tank water and half...

    Sick percula

    My percula clowns are the only ones that have small white spots on them. They were all together in a 29 gal. I just moved them into my 120 3-4 weeks ago. They eat fine and act fine except for the one perc today that has the pop eye. He stays at the bottom of the tank but I did see him eat...

    Sick percula

    I have a sick percula with possibly ich and it also has a pop eye just since yesterday (the eye). Will adding neon (cleaner) gobies help with the ich. It is staying at the bottom in a corner. Would it be a good idea to set up a separate tank? I have a spare 10 gal. My large set up is a 120...

    OT Ryebread new your help ASAP.

    RyeBread, Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. We just moved our office and I lost all of the remodel pictures. Could be worse. I was hoping that there was a way to retrieve the information, like on a computer. :(
