    Crushed Coral Bed

    I set my tank up with a Crushed Coral, per the LFS recommendation. Unfortunately, I did not find this site until after the tank was set up. Is there any way to switch to DSB? Or, just leave well enough alone? Thanks for your help!

    Friend for Clownfish?

    My clown was the same way until we got him another clown (same species). Stay away from the damsels they can be too aggressive with fish you want to add in the future.

    freshwater bath to treat disease?

    I am always leary of the "advice" I receive from a LFS but this one seemed to work. My fish were dying and quick, due to Ich and Popeye. We did the 30% water change which help and was treating the tank with Maracyn 2. We called our trusted LFS who recommend that we give our fish a 5 min...

    Popeye?

    I don't have a refractometer yet can I still start the hyposalinity? Where can I get one and how much do they cost? Lost the 2 clown fish! Only the tang and the coral beauty left. This is so discouraging!

    Popeye?

    I assure you that this is in fact a fish only tank. The coral beauty's eye is is maily cloudy with a white film over it. His behavior appears to be normal he is eating and swimming around. But now, my two clown fish are white from head to tail. They do have a few little white spots on them...

    Popeye?

    It is by Marcadel. It is supposed to treat for popeye, fin rot, and dropsy. We do not have a QT tank, we never even thought of it until I visited this site. Now the puffer is even worse and the tank is cloudy. We are going to do a 30% water change but I don't know if this puffer is going...

    I have a 55 gallon tank with fish only. What is the best was to do a water change? I am currently treating for popeye and read on another thread that a water change could help. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks!

    Popeye?

    I have a porcupine puffer that started out with ick and now has popeye. The last dose of treatment was Saturday and he was looking much better. Well today his eyes are cloudy again. We started the medicine again, but I wonder if anyone has any other suggestions? I'd really hate to lose this...

    Damels first?

    I too started out with Damsels. They did become too aggressive when we added new fish. Fortunately, we were able to sell the Damsels back and now all is good!
