I was given a Sebae Anemone from a friend of mine that is getting rid of his tank inhabitants and starting over w/ aggressive. I also have a bubble tip w/ a tomato clown. I read where the Sebae is "expert" only and that a "blue striped clown" helps w/ the health of the sebae anemones. Would the...

Thanks for the reply. Its a 90 gallon tank. I do have a coral branded shrimp and have heard they go after fish sometimes. I thought the attacking the glass was alittle strange since he's never done it before. But like I said, he's done it w/ the foxface. Other inabitants are: 2 Blue damsels 1...

He has a small brownish spot near his tail. Almost looks like a scrape or something. And on that same side the white line/spot that they have on both sides near their tails appears loose. Kinda like a finger nail thats been cut but still hanging on the finger. (sorry, best description I could...

I'll also add that he has been butting the tank glass every now and then with his tail end. Its the same thing he's been doing w/ the foxface for nearly two months which I took as trying to bully the foxface. But he had never done it to the glass.

Now it looks like I have two of them. Is this normal? Why does it happen? Is he ok and will they both survive? I had a friend of mine tell me they can do that. :notsure:

I have a canister filter. I went ahead this evening and changed out the foam pads. I'm starting to recall that last time I changed out the filter I didn't have any foam pads. The "Fine" foam pads were pretty nasty when I changed it. Could that be the reason for the Nitrate jump?

Ammonia and Nitrites are at 0 but my Nitrates jumped to 30 and my PH is showing to be at 7.8. This is the first time I've tested the PH and its been below 8. My Nitrates are usually around 10 or less. What could have caused the changes? I have a 90 gallon w/ 90lbs LR Tomato Clown Yellow Tang...

Okiefish Uhhhh. ..... . :thinking: I live in Oklahoma.

I currently have a 90 gallon tank w/ a cannister filter and a protein skimmer that hangs on the back. I've been told this might not be the best way to run things. I'm wanting to convert to a wet dry filter w/ a sump. I don't know a whole alot about how to get there. Want to ask ?'s on here first...

thanks for the reply. I'll do as you said, post in the other forum.

I've only had fish in my tank for 6 or 7months and have had a tomato clown for 5 months of it. He does not like the blue damsel and the two domino damsels I have. He is constantly chasing them off if they get any where near his bubble tip anemone. He doesn't bother the tang or the foxface though.

Grass/algea looking stuff. It has a shine to it. Almost a silver looking shine. I know this sounds very blah of a description. What is it? I've seen it at the store but can't find it on the internet.
