I think my royal gramma may have ich. I am a newbie and am not very sure. :thinking: My clowns, serpant star, shrimp and hermits are all fine. (I know it only affects fish). Anyways the gramma is hiding more than usual but will come out to eat. When he does come out he is diving to the sand...

Thanks for the advice!

What other things diet wise do you recommend? :notsure: Sorry for all of the quesiotns but I am new to this hobby and want to make sure I am doing things right

Right now I have a 55 gallon FOWLR. I have 2 clowns, 1 royal gramma, 2 peppermint shrimp, 1 serpant star, and 12 tiny hermit type crab/snails things. I am feeding them a diet of frozen mysis shrimp and spirulina 20 (fish food flakes) by Aquatrol. I think my Royal Gramma may have ich. I was...

will do, thanks!

Should I scrape some off and lay it on the base rock? My live rock is doing great with the coralline.

be gentle I am still a newbie.... This may seem obvious to most but on one side of my tank I have this huge piece of live rock that is shaped like a cavern with lots of little spots to hide etc... I bought some base rock and put it on the other side of the tank to give my fish somewhere on...

Thanks Alyssia

Not to sound stupid or anything but how do I top it off with saltwater? What SG do I make the water I am topping off with? I thought if there is a difference in the levels of what I am adding and what I am adding it to that will shock my fish?

That won't hurt anything else in the tank? How do you suggest that I do it? Maybe not top it off until it reaches that level? I just did a water change so that is the only way I can figure...Right now I don't have any more turbo snails but I can go this weekend and get some more.

Great News! My Gramma is back out and eating! I guess something just spooked him. He is no longer diving at the bottom. I hope I don't get ich. Thanks for the tip about the SG. I did not know that the snails would fall because of a low SG. I keep mine between 1.023 and 1.024. Is this too...

Thanks everyone! I will remain calm LOL I just love that little fish. He is the first saltwater fish I ever had and the first I added to the tank and I was so proud to have kept him alive. Keep your fingers crossed. If I see him I will post back!

problem is the only clean up crew I have is 2 pepermint shrimp, serpant star and 10 small hermit type crabs/snail things (tiny small black shells). My two small orange turbo snails died because I could not get to them to turn them over. I have 20-25 lbs live rock, 10 lbs base rock and 20 lbs...

Still looks to be at 0. if the fish is dead how long till I will see a spike?

Thanks! I have to go get some of that!

I am still pretty new to this hobby. Are you recommending a stress coat of some kind? I am HAPPY to go out and get something if it will help him. What product do I get? :notsure:

I guess I will just check my water in a bit and maybe feed and see what happens... thanks for the 2 cents

Well, I have had my 55 gallon FOWLR since Feb. It is in the stage past the diatoms and currently with that weird purple slime algea stuff. Well, last night I tried to scoop out some of it and it stirred up my tank a bit. My two clowns, serpant star and shrimp are fine but all of a sudden my...

Sorry if this has already been posted and I missed it but this tank if something worth seeing over and over.... http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-02/totm/index.php ENJOY!!!

Would you recommend all of that for a FOWLR?
