I have had my tank in Hypo for about 2 weeks now. I got home last night and half my tank is dead. I lost my two tangs, yet another lionfish, sleeper goby, and my Clarkii Clown. I have left two Groupers, Two firefish, an engineer goby, and a molly. This is the second crash I have had in a little...

Have any of you had your groupers ever take a liking to flake food? Mine does and seems to try to eat anything I throw in. Not that I am complaining, makes feeding easier.

I have my tank in Hypo currently. I have my inverts at the LFS being babysat. My live rock is in my QT Tank. My question is, after my tank is done and salinity is back where it needs to be, should I add back my live rock all at once or pieces here and there to not stress out my fish. Or does it...

I never truly thought about the benefits of finding a good LFS till yesterday. I have been using only two LFS to make my purchases for the year or so. Until yesterday I never took full advantage of one though. My tank has acquired ich. I have a quarantine tank but it is only a ten gallon one at...

My girlfriend wants one of these. I have been looking up info on the internet. But I can't find what they would eat at all. The LFS She saw him at told her flake food. I looked at her and said they always say that there. Any info first hand would be great. Thanks.

The latest addition has obviosly joined the mafia in my tank. I have had a little red (linkia I think) starfish that I had acquired with my live rock somehow. It was about the size of a nickel. This morning I found my purple lobster shredding it to pieces and eating it the way it looked.. Of...

I lost my Fu man Chu Saturday. He was in my quarantine being treated and stopped eating on me. He looked like he was doing better when I started treating him, his color came back and hhe started showing off his fins. He just wouldn't eat, anything. Good news is yesterday I added a purple...

Ok in my qt tank I currently have my Fu Man Chu Lion and my Clarkii clownfish. Both had some slight redness and some slight fin problems. So I decided to treat them for it. I started this thursday night. I looked in my tank last night and my Groupers occassionally dive to the bottom of the tank...

Apparently one of my fish decided to eat my peppermint shrimp and cleaner shrimp. I was expecting this for a while now but it hadn't occurred yet. So I figured maybe they would be ok...guess I was wrong. I am currently interrogating my Fu Man chu Lion I recently got and my chocolate and spotted...

I just got a Fu Man Chu Lionfish yesterday. I know someone else on here had one before that recently died. I was wondering if that person had any advise for me on this fish. He is currently doing well in my tank. He was at the fish store for 4 weeks and he did well there so I picked him. I had...

Ok, I am starting to pull out my hair here. Some of you may remember my recent murder story involving the "Tang mafia" in my tank. I had another "incident" last night. I HAD THREE STARFISH IN MY TANK. I am down to two after losing my smallest chocolate chip. I have a medium sized Chocolate chip...

My weekend sucked!!!! I lost my little Lionfish (1 1/2 inches) To the tang Mafia in my tank!!! They left the little guy alone up untill saturday. Than I seen My yellow tangs and my clownfish picking on the little guy. I had tore down my quarantine tank a few months back because I wasn't using...

I picked up a spotted grouper three days ago. I haven't seen it eat once. The LFS I purchased him from mentioned he will and has been eating anything from live guppies and ghost shrimp to bloodworms and frozen shrimp. Yet I haven't seen him eat in the last three days. I place live guppies in the...

I have had a bubble-tip starfish for about a year and a half now. He was huge!!!! I recently (before I acquired my Lionfish) had three fish go missing. I couldn't even find the carcasses. I finally discovered why. The starfish was hunting the fish in my tank. I shut off the lights and he hunched...

I have two Penguin 330 side tank filters on my tank. I alternate changing out the filters in cycles of four. I generally check them and keep an eye on the filters for any build up and change one out of four out when I start to see any. I haven't needed to change them for about 6 months now. Last...

I had a Domino damsel the was half the size of my dwarf lionfish. The problem isn't the lion eating the damsel as he wanted nothing to do with it. The problem is my damsel kept pestering and bugging my lion that my lion finally attacked him. Now he is dead and immediately one of my chocolate...

Ok, I start my take in late 2003. I started just using Mollys (5) and converted them from fresh water to salt water. I let the tank cycle using them. I had at this time an undergravel filter set up using crushed coral as my subscrate. After it cycled I added live rock ( I have a total of about...
