Several months ago I lost two fish, a firefish and a purple firefish. The purple firefish disappeared first. I saw him swim into "his" rock and never saw him again. Then about a week later I saw my other firefish swim into the same rock and never saw him again. I baited the tank and got up...

I've had a toadstool in my tank for about 8-9 months now. It was half on the rock it came on and half on the lr that was underneath it. I was moving some things around last night and the lower rock slipped and ripped the part that was on the upper rock off. The toadstool closed up but before...

I've had my two perculas for over a year now. I purchased them both at the same time. At first they were friends but now the larger one bullies the smaller one all the time. Shorty hides most of the day and when he does come out she chases him all over the tank. He has even jumped into the...

I have had two fish just disappear. Several of my snails have nothing left but the shells. And now a feather duster is gone. The fish that disappeared were two firefish. The first one to go had one paticular rock that she hung out in. I saw her swim into the rock one day and I didn't see...

Hi guys, I know I haven't been here in a long time but work has kept me away. My last post was about bubble alage and hair alage which is now under control. But last night I was cleaning my rock and found this glob of mucus looking stuff and inside it was a small fat pink worm. The worm was...

I have two Ocellarius clowns. One is 1" and the other is 1 1/2". They have both been in the tank about 7 months - purchased at the same time. At first they were inseperable but now the larger one, big mama, chases the smaller one, shorty around the tank. Shorty hides all the time only coming...

I have a fromia star and he has a bubble looking area on one of his arms. He has been in the tank about 3 weeks now. At first he was hiding so I didn't see it until the other night when he moved to an area where I could see him. I checked my water last week and my sg was down to 1.021 so I...

I purchased a pygmy angel saturday and everything was ok until last night. She was eating and last night had finally come out and was swimming around the tank. When I got home from work I watched her for alittle while then went to take a shower. When I came back she was lying on the sand...

I have a pico tank on my nightstand right now. I will be setting up my 75g hopefully next week. The only thing in my pico is ls, lr, feather duster and some polyps and mushrooms. As hitchhikers, there are a few baby sails and a couple of small bristle worms and a small astrena star. Well my...

I found online a Mako 5 stage unit that sells for 50gpd $239.89, 100gpd $268.89 or 200 gpd $299.89. My questions are: has anyone had any experience with a Mako RO unit and what does the gpd stand for? I have a 75 gal tank and plan on doing 10% water changes every 2 weeks, so will I be able to...

This weekend my brother came to visit and brought a big box full of base rock and coral pieces. I would like to use these in my tank which should be set up within the next couple of weeks. I had to wait for the carpet to be installed first. Anyway when he had his tank set up 10 years ago he...

Several times this week I have found my snail on the outside of the tank. Does anyone know what this means? I was concerned that it meant there wasn't enough food for him on the inside.

Let me first say I'm sorry not to search but I'm at work and can't spend much time on the internet. Last night I was looking at me tank. I just added more live rock last week. I saw this long string coming from a hole in the rock. While looking it pulled back into the rock. I know it can't...

I just put some new lr in my tank and later noticed a small asternia star. Not a problem for me but when I was looking at him I noticed loads of small globs on the upper part of the tank. It has a small white spot in the center and a glob around it. When the stat moved near it it moved. What...

Well we made it through the storm but not without loss. But overall it went well. We ended up using an inverter and the truck to run the pumps and lights. We took your advise and cleaned the filters before turning on the pumps and doing a water change. Then we tested last night and did...

I bid on some feather dusters on ---- and won. they were shipped monday and were suppose to arrive wed. I called the post office this am and they said they "might" come in tomorrow. The storm delayed the mail. Do you think there is any chance that they will be alive. I've emailed the dealer...

Ok guys we need your help. We have the minnow pumps and lots of batteries just in case we lose power. But how long after the power goes out do we need to start the pumps. I think I read somewhere to run them off and on. But how long do we run them and how long in between. We have fish...
