    Cleaner Shrimp NOT cleaning!

    My cleaner will eat everything he can get his claws on and still cleans my fish frequently. I have noticed he does most of it at night when my lights are off. He also uses his antenna to touch the fish and as someone mentioned earlier I believe he is finding out if the fish are willing to let...

    anemone in powerhead

    I had covered my powerhead and intake before placing him in the tank. I had a small PH with the intake on the back that I had suctioned to the glass. Never would have thought a bta could have got in it. Just goes to show anything can happen. Thanks for the help and suggestions. From the...

    anemone in powerhead

    My bta got caught in a small powerhead for about 30 minutes. There was a small haze around the area where he got stuck. I have removed him from the powerhead and he has moved a little from where I placed him. I tested the water and the ammonia level is still at 0. Any suggestions on what to do...

    Percula Clownfish Behavior

    My percs act the same. One on each end of my 46 gal tank and they constantly stay against the glass. At night they either float at the top or lay on their side at the botton. Rarely do they go near my LR, no other fish in the tank, either. I have had them for about 2 weeks now and they eat...

    False Perc w/Pale Coloration, White spots...

    I have a false perc that I placed in my display tank about 3 weeks ago. After 3 days in the tank I came home and found it breathing heavy at the top of the tank and moving very sluggish. I did a 15% water change and it seemed to help the fish out. I checked my parameters prior to the water...

    DIY fuge cost?

    I am considering a fuge for my 46 gal bow. The lfs said they could set it up for around $400(all components included), and customize it for the space underneath my stand.

    Question for Devilboy

    Are you doing a FOWLR and coral. I assume you are since you have the actintic light. I was thinking of doing a Filstar XP3, some powerheads, and a protein skimmer. But from what I have been reading that may not be the way to go. Now I am considering a wet/dry. I am just very confused now...

    New Tank Questions(Filtration)

    I would like to do mostly fish, but I do plan to have live rock and a few corals later on. I am planning on having a peaceful tank. 2 clowns, goby, blennies, some type of puffer, regal tang, and an anemone are on my list to have at some point. I do not plan to have anything too big or...
