I cleaned up my 20 gallon long tank and have the fish in there now... salinity is at 1.022. I will be moving it lower a little bit till I get to 1.009..
6 weeks of this.....sucks...
something else I just thought about....
Yesterday was the first time I fed the fish "Rod's Fish Food". It's a frozen food... Dont know if that could have anything to do with it, but thought I'd give any info that I could think of..
That's very interesting...
I saw a couple spots last night, but just a few. before then none at all.
This picture is from Thursday...(man I'm glad I decided to take some pics)

This morning both clowns seemed to have white specks on them. One (seen in the pictures below) seemed to have more than the other. I had an appointment and I just got back and they seem to be gone. In this tank I have 1 fire fish, 1 mimic yellow tang, 2 chromis and the two clowns (false...

I bought this yellow tang on Wednesday evening. I acclimated him using the drip method like I have always done with my fish...
He looks great, his color is very vibrant, except his lips look a little whittish, but not alot.
He has not eaten anything yet.... plus he is keeps swimming up and down...
seriously, get a tank with built in overflows.....its so much easier and cleaner!! it's a must!
I would suggest looking for used equipment as well MOD EDIT plz dont offer websites other than this one
