    bone sticking out side of my tang.....

    Would these be the scalpels that I've read about? I was never clear about where they were on the fish. i also have a yellow and royal blue tang and never noticed anything resembling this.

    bone sticking out side of my tang.....

    Hopefully someone can help with this. I bought a tang that's brown with gold rimmed eyes, about a week ago. He's about 4.5 in long, the biggest in my reef tank- 75 gallon. He is very shy and just now out of hiding. He has what appears to be a tiny bone sticking out on his side, just in front of...

    flushing sound every minute

    I just changed to a tidepool in my 75 gal. reef tank. There was nothing unusual the first day, but now there is a toilet flushing sound every other minute. I'm pretty sure that it's the overflow box. Anyone know what I can do about this? It's very loud!

    So much for me to learn...

    I found a saltwater shop where the owner was a little abrasive ( I thought) with me.

I've bought 2 more books and still have a million...

    Cycling With Fish???

    Yes, the sand had water. More than I realized and i made quite a mess with what was stuck to the bag itself. I bought the LR from 2 different stores, one of which was going out of business so selling the rock from its display tanks. The other rock was from a store that assured me it was cured in...

    Need info on Eheim Professional ll

    This is my 1st attempt at a saltwater tank. I foolishly bought a used set up from this joker that spent all of 30 seconds explaining the componets to me. We got the canister filter going. I just need basic info. How do you open it to clean it without the water flooding the floor? Does it need...
