    Please ID my clown

    It was sold as a true then I heard it looks like a false but now counting the spines it may actually be a true. I had one die in the QT and this is the other one that is going into the Dt after 3 1/2 weeks in the QT. I want to get another one but am afraid I will get the wrong kind. I count a...

    Hospital Tank and Ick quest

    Other things besides heaters will cause voltage. If not grounded do so immediately. It saved my clown that was on his death bed. Even if you could make a temp one out to the ground it will work until you can get a real one.

    I just lost several fish in my qt from 44 volts. Easily overlooked but a very important test.

    What the heck? flatworm?

    It must have been in there when i started the tank 2 months ago with some live rock. I have never seen it until now though. i have no clams or corals of any sort just 200lbs of live rock. It was right by that margarita snail which is now dead?? I cannot imagine how I lost it. I watched it...

    Cleaner Shrimp Died - No obvious reason

    I bought 2 about a month ago. One molted in the bag and ended up getting sucked into the ph as soon as I put him in. I dont know if he was weak from molting or what but he barely tried to swim away from the flow. The other is doing great and is starting to get brave. Next time I will be...

    The thing just disappeared are they in the rock or the sand. I can't seem to find out if this kind is bad. Polyclad? Should I just use Salifert fwe?

    My QT keeps killing fish 6 chromis 1 clown

    I cannot even look at the 4 line without hating him right now. The jack had some of the nicest colors I have seen and was eating out of our hands. 3 days later gone after adding the cat. The chromis loves the frozen food but the clown is a little more picky. Is this normal? He will eat some...

    My QT keeps killing fish 6 chromis 1 clown

    Every component was new. I did paint the bottom and the back but it was days before anything was in it. After seeing how the clown looked last night to tonight something seams to have gotten better. I changed 7 gallons of water last night at around 4am but did ground the tank as well. Rods...

    My QT keeps killing fish 6 chromis 1 clown

    Much to my surprise the chromis and clown are still alive this morning, not sure I am I may pull the rock out in hopes the bacteria is enough in the aquaclear 70 so I can eliminate that variable. Also the emerald is in there and he is huge and thinking back he has been in there the whole...
