Yeah i noticed that too. The one I noticed is the Blue Hippo tang is rated for a 40 gallon tank. But those things love to swim, and a 40 isn't even close to big enough. Especially when they grow bigger.

sweet, thanks for the reply.

what does a gsp looked like when it is closed? i just bought a peice today from a fellow reefer, and it just looks like purple coraline algae with little bumps on it. Is that what it is supposed to look like?

What all is involved in getting rid of the infected water? How long does it take for Ick to die off. Also can i keep corals in there without having to worry about Ick. I'm getting my lights on monday and wanted to get some corals going in there.

He officially passed on, but by saying i don't have any other fish or crabs that can be attacking him, i meant. that he was the only fish in the tank. And there are no crabs in the tank. I know those are often times the culprit and can pick on a sick fish. So I was ruling that scenario out...

Ok i have this royal gramma that had ick. I treated it with garlic, and he got better. He was out swimming around, and seemed happy. No signs of ick. The only problem was he had a small hole in his tail fin. Then he went into hiding for a couple of days. Now he is on the bottom of the tank, with...

i agree with puffer, you NEED to do some water changes for those corals. They need the nutrients in the water. if you aren't doing changes, then they use up all of those nutrients. It would be like if someone put you in a room with a months supply of food, but left you in there for 3 months. You...

yeah, i expected that it would come back. I'm going to start dosing my fish food with garlic 2-3 times a week just to help keep the immune system up. Hopefully that will keep it at bay. I just don't have any room at all for a QT tank. So Garlic it will have to be. Thanks for your help!

thanks for the reply, that makes me feel a lot better. I also will say that garlic is a mircale cure in this case. I had no means of using a QT for this fish, so it was going to die if the garlic didn't work. And after only 2 days the ick is gone, and he is back to his old self. A little...

I had a royal gramma that had a bad case of Ich. I started soaking the food in garlic 2 days ago. Now the white spots have cleared up. He is eating again, and is now out swimming around. BUT there is a hole in its back fin. Will this hole eventually repair itself, or is he just destined to live...

I didn't think so either, but some of the people i was talking to on another form were saying how it looks like the 14k MH. So that sold me even more.

for bulbs i was going to go with these. From front to back Blue+ Aquablue GE Sun Blue+ this will give you a nice 14K MH shimmer effect.

Will fragging it in the tank, cause harm to my other inhabitants? Or will running the carbon help with that?

i have no doubt they can be taken out, but is there a way to do it without taking out the rock. All of my rock is stacked on top of eachother, and the only way to take out a lower rock is to take out ALL the rock. So can i detach it from the rock somehow before fragging it?

I am currently doing the same thing. I decided im going to go with the tek light, and just get some lunar lights somewhere else. As for how many bulbs. Im going with the 4 bulb unit. I was told by several people who have it that that will be enough light for me to keep anything in my tank. Those...

im not trying to frag anything yet, but am setting up to have a reef tank and always wondered how you are supposed to frag a coral that is on a rock under all of your other rocks. My goal is to get a few nice corals at first, and let them grow out. then frag them to finance my other corals. This...

Can you frag a coral while it is still in the tank? If not, how do you frag a coral that is attached to a rock on the bottom of your tank without taking the whole tank apart?

How well do they do against diatoms?

My yellow watchman is starting to swim around all sporadically, and then just kinda sinks back to the bottom. it at times swims on its side and upside down. This can't be normal is it? Should i be worried?

I saw some zeolite in the pet store today, and it says it removes ammonia. So I got to thinking, that if it removes ammonia, then the ammonia doesn't turn to nitrites, and in turn won't turn into nitrates. If this is true, then wouldn't all of my readings be at 0 at all times, especially with...
