Looked it up in my "Saltwater Encyclopedia" it says.. "White cotton or wool like growths on the body could be Saprolegnia fungus. Usually effects fish with mucus defiencies, open wounds or other skin ailments. Encouraged by excess organic matter in water. Immediate partial water changes can be...

Thanks! A friend had her aquarium stand go up in flames last night with this guy in it. He suvived but needs a home. I'm acclimating him now but want to make sure he won't hurt my stock. I have an emerald crab about the size of a quarter, a damsel he could eat if he wanted to 2 chromis and my...

I've been trying to catch a -#$%#^&* damsel for a week now. Finally I took his victim and put him in protective custody until I can catch the nasty predator. Sorry I can't help with the catching thing, but maybe you can put his victim in one of those basket thingys until you can...

What is this?

Exactly what I was was wanting to know, thank you! In all the threads I viewed all i ever heard was "watts per gallon" and I knew bottom line watts was just what you were paying for and didn't tell me how much light I needed to provide. Any idea on how to figure how many lumens per gallon and...

We started with 3 chromis and 1 damsel plus the hitchickers on the 30 lbs of lr. the lr came from the lfs and was packed in water for the journey home. we feed 2x daily.

All lfs are closed today (Sunday) with in a 100 mile radius. Water is going in tomorrow. Anyway Yes the LR was local. The Test Kit is by Aquarium Pharmaceuticals. "Saltwater Master liquid test kit". My understanding is that in order to have had a rise in Nitrates it would have had to of had...

After 14 days running and testing at least once daily we have still not seen any ammonia much less a spike. We did however see a slight rise in nitrates on day 8 through 10. After the algea bloom the nitrates fell back to 0. I have asked folks at 3 different fish stores, called the test company...
