Kirsch, I have the same problem in my tank. However, I have been loosing a fish a day. They all start out with a whitish coloring of the eye. I have used "Greenex", a medication from the lfs for treatment of ICK. However, there must be something else going on in my tank. My water levels are...

Thanks for the info. but do you all think that I should try to find some type of medication for it or just take him out and put in another Q tank?

My yellow tang has developed a whitish film over one of its eyes. Does anyone know what it is or what I need to do about it?

Thanks. I forgot to tell you all that I also have about 30lbs of live rock in the tank too. I have been looking on this site for a clean up crew. So I will go ahead and remove the green stuff from the two areas that cover the sand in the tank. Thanks again.

My tank is 2 ½ months old. I use tap water. I have a wet/dry filtration system. I have a protein skimmer but I have not set it up yet. Right now as far as inverts, I have a CB shrimp, a sally light foot crab, about 5 hermit crabs, and 3 snails. Fish, I have a royal gamma, a yellow tang and two...

There is a "very" dark green algae in my tank covering some of the sand. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it?

The same thing happened to me. At first I kept finding them (clowns) in my overflow area on the back of my tank (I have a wet/dry filtration system). Once I even found them in the bottom part of the wet/dry after they had been sucked into the overflow and sucked on down into the area where the...

Thanks. I have read the process for using the drip method to acclimate the fish. I appreciate you alls advice.

I hope that I am not getting them confused (trites and trates). I am not sure but my lfs will test the water again before I purchase the fish. Thanks.

My tank finally cycled and now it’s time to add some fish. How many would you all recommend adding at one time? Right now as far as fish are concerned, I have a clown fish in the tank. My ammonia has finally dropped to 0. I don’t remember what my nitrites and PH were when I tested last night, I...

I think that this is what happened to my clown. He disappeared also. I am going to check the LR in my tank. After I found a picture of the mantis shrimp, I think there may be one in my tank. Thanks for the info.

The tank "I" just started is mostly my responsibility. My husband has always talked about having a saltwater aquarium, but I was the one who actually made it happen. He is interested and loves to comment on the set-up and ask what will I do next, but I am the one who maintains the tank and feed...

Okay thanks. The only other living creature in my aquarium is a Coral Banded Shrimp. I thought that it was strange that the fish was there at night and in the morning there were no signs of him/her.

Does anyone know much about Emerald Crabs? One of my Clown Fish disappeared and my daughter swears that the crab got him/her. What do you all think?

FOWLR. I have about 5 lbs of live rock in the tank already along with two hermit crabs, 1 turbo snail, and a coral shrimp.

So would you recommend that I use buffer to bring the ammonia down? If not, then what?

My tank is going on 3 weeks old. The Damsel that I had died, but the two clowns are still living. They seem to be okay. However, yesterday I noticed brown stuff all over the sand in the tank. I checked the levels and they are: Amonia - 1.5 PH - 8.5 Nitrite - 0.3 Why is the sand brown? Should I...

I have a wet-dry filtration system, but the water pump is extremely loud. What type would you recommend that is quiet and will do the job for a 76 gall aquarium?

Thanks for the info. I read that performing a water change during the cycle will prolong the cycle, but I just didn't know if were to be done before the cycle starts.

If my aquarium is a week old, when do I start testing for the cycle? Should I perform a water change at this time or will it mess up the cycling process?
