    moved my tank..fish are gilling :(

    to those of you that have given me tons of advice in the past .. it's really helped I had to move my tank home from the office on Saturday. The fish handled the trip relatively well and I only lost 9 gallons in transport... totally amazing. However, the tank was filthy upon refilling & stirred...

    :( Ich in Reef

    Unfortunately as I've said, I can't do copper or Hypo :( When I left this office this afternoon, they were eagerly eating their mysis and going about things as usual in the tank.. I did notice the clown doing "touch and go's" on the cc, but the tangs were not and happily searching for food...

    should I let the tank stay a little on the warmer side? It's been hanging between 80 and 81. Should I let it warm up to 82? I think I read on another thread a post by Meowzer or Flower about keeping the tank a little warmer?

    funny ..

    My Koran angel is rather funny... When I put my algae sheet up in the clip, I cut the bottom into strips (since the fish usually end up tearing the whole sheet out of the clip at once). The Koran tears off the strip and eats it like a spaghetti noodle. This takes awhile though.. she swims...

    :( Ich in Reef

    This morning I noticed that my clown, tangs, and angel are covered in ich. They eat like pigs and are swimming normally. Thinking back to the weekend, they were breathing a little harder than normal on Sunday, but no signs of anything. I do not have a QT big enough for all 4 fish. Should I...

    morally bankrupt specialty store

    i find the best resources are websites like this one.. I am still a newbie at this whole aquarium thing, but I try to do what I can to remedy any situation I get into. You should call around to some of the LFS up there in the suburbs and see if anyone will take the fish. Don't expect money...

    What is possible without a skimmer?

    i'm slowly adding to my reef.. however like some of you, I'm skimmer-less. I need to add more live rock to my DT, but have been trying to do it slowly as I don't want to disrupt anything. Is there a good rule of thumb as to how much should be added at a time? Like CK, I also dose with Ca and...

    Help your clean up crew.

    My tangs got rid of hair algae and hydroids... I almost think they do to good of a job I keep them happy with plenty of algae sheets now that they "cleaned up"

    new corals :)

    I got a good deal from someone parting out a 220gal on C List. I was 3rd in line so I missed out on a couple items I wanted, but was able to convince the guy ahead of me to split the candy cane coral colony and the frogspawn For $90 (good deal right?) I got 12 heads candy cane coral; 3 heads...

    Which tank do you like the best?

    I prefer tank 1, but I would have it in a better location than as the other person said .. basement. The second tank had way too much going on for me - too many fish and too much of the same coral. I wish there were details about the 2nd tank like there were for the 1st
