First off, I'd like to say I'd appreciate no flaming, I've already thrown up because I feel so bad.My live order came in on saturday and with it a green bta. Good news is it's beautiful, bad is that it mozied up to my powerhead in the night. I don't think any of it's foot is damaged. I'm pretty...

Well, our family is on vacation in Vancouer right now, the location of the store I by everything from. While we're here I hae the option of buying the coralife 150W HQI fixture for my existing 55, or (big or) a new 90 gallon tank and use all the existing equipment I have now but stick with the...

Here's a few pics of my new additions plus some of the old ones. The longnose thinks he's all that and tried to get in all of the pictures. There's not and there not great quality, but they work.

I don't know if this should go here or the disease section, but I'll try here first. My Longnose butterfly has been in my tank just shy of 48 hrs now and he's still white. Is that normal? When any of you put him in your tank how long did it take for white to go back to yellow? His room mates are...

I got a long nose butterfly two months ago (right on the nose actually) and I couldn't get it to eat, sadly it died 3 days later. Well, a week ago I called to see if they had in anything I wanted. Of course they didn't have the fish I wanted, so for fun I asked if they had a LNB in. They did...

My two percs seem to like lying on their sides alot. They seem completely normal when I feed them. They interact with my other fish (blackcap basslet and a sixline) normally, I haven't noticed any harrasment towards them. My water tests fine: trite-0 trate-0 amm.-0 When ever I walk into the room...

Is there a limit on how many shrimp one can have in their tank? I have 2 fire, 2 cleaner an 2 pepps in my 55 at the moment but would love to have more if I could . I was thinking of getting another pair of cleaner and fire srimp, maybe even a pistol or two, would that be okay?

I just put moon lights on my tank yesterday and noticed little white things everywhere in the water column when just the moonlights were on. They weren't on anything, just floating, and there were tons of them. My question is are they copods or something else?

I've had my aqua c remora going for about 8 months now and I never get more than a quarter of a cup a month. Would it be time to take it apart and clean the intake or am do just not have anything to skim? It turns off every night because its in my bedroom and I can't sleep with it on. Could it...

My longnose butterfly has been in my tank since friday night and he's still has a whitish tinge to his body. Is it normal for it to last this long? He wasn't shy at all yesterday but now he's become quite the recluse; hiding behind the rocks and not doing much. I've tried to get him to eat with...

I just put them in last night , the butterfly is still a little white from the journey but he's not shy at all. He goes everywhere. I was worried that my sixline and blackcap basslet would terrorize him but they're actually scared of him! :notsure: My internet won't let me post anymore for some...

He hasn't even been here a year and he's leaving at the end of december . It was so nice to have someone to do stuff with that was absolutey pointless (like throw balls at eachother in zellers) but at the same time incredably fun. We were supposed to go to honduras for two weeks next summer with...

Okay, so I really want a longnose and my dad keeps pestering me to get one in my tank because it's "saltwater fish looking". From what I've found the average recommended size is around 50 gallons. In the conscientious aquarist it says no smaller than 40 and they shouldn't grow more than 4-6". I...

My blackcap basslet and two neon gobies moved in last night! WHen I put the blackcap in he hid but this morning he's out cruising around. The gobies are baeutiful! I had no idea they would look like they do. Ps. They are camera shy! It took me twenty minutes to get one shot of my blackcap...

This morning I woke up and saw that two of my PHs fell and blew the sand everywhere in my 55 but my clowns didn't seem to even notice . Do I need to be worried of a nitrate jump? I put all the sand back the way it was and blew it off the LR, should I do any other damage control or am I done?

Now that I finally have my two percs I figured its time to decide on the rest of my fish (Like most people do). It's a 55g with about 65 lbs. of LR and it is eventually going to be a reef. So here is what's probably my 20th revision of my fish/shrimp list. I already have the Peppermint shrimp...

I put my two new clowns (false percs) in my tank friday night! They seem happy and alert and they ate right away. I got a fire shrimp and three peppermints. The fire shrimp is quite the roamer but my peppermints are really shy. I caught my fire shrimp jumping on my hermits this morning and was...

Has anyone kept a Black spot angel before? The LFS I order from can get them in but I can't find any info on them except a picture. They're a beautiful fish and I would love for it to be the centerpiece of my 55. Would it be fine in a 55? I'll throw in a picture for fun.

When I came home from work last night I noticed that one of my clowns was dead and the crabs were doing what they do best on him. I took the rest of his body out and then cheecked the water and everything checked out. Nothing out of the ordinary happened out of the ordinary before he died. The...
