Update My puffer darted really fast to the other side of the tank after a piece of food and all the stuff fell off. He appears to have one tiny tiny area of white stuff on him.. I think its just mucous now.. but Im not going to rule out disease

Alright I am sorry I have not given to many of you a chance to view this thread and reply yet but I am refreshing this thing constantly for some input. A quick update on Huey, the top of his body looks better since I took those photos. He still has a stringy substance on him in several spots but...

Puffers normally produce more mucus than other fish. Doe this substance look as though it is sloughing off the fish, or just hanging on? Has the fish inflated recently that you know of? Curious as to the lfs worker; do you have the tank serviced or do you do all maintainance yourself. Trying to...

No I have not added any new fish. He is the only fish in the aquarium. The only changes I have made to my aqaurium in the past month is I added a fiber filter pad in my wet/dry, I removed it today though because it was dirty. He is breathing normal and there are no other symptoms. He is darting...

Can you please post your exact water readings for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, KH, PH, SG, and temp? How long have you had this fish? What size is your tank and how long has it been set up? Sorry forgot to post that information I was shocked when I saw him and rushed to get a thread up for help. I...

Tonight I noticed a clear stringy substance attached to my stars and stripes puffer fish. I looked very closely over his entire body and the only areas its formed at are across the top of his body. At first I thought he just rubbed into a piece of rock and something caught onto his slime coat...

Hello all, I have a sea-clone 150 which is "rated" for 150 gallons but should not be put on anything larger than a 29 gallon aquarium.. anyway onto my question I am trying to mod my 150 so it will actually do something because its the biggest waste of money, I found a site that explains how to...

Hello, I am looking for a good but affordable RO unit to use on my 125 gallon aquarium. If you could just list a brand that is well known and used by many that would be great. Thanks

Good to know. Thanks alot!

Refractometer has been ordered off this site. No worries, I know not to use a crappy plastic hydrometer! Anything else you think I would want to know feel free to post. Thanks

Well I may be treating my Puffer for ich in the next few days. I have read over all the stickys by Beth on treating ich. I just have a few little simple questions to still be answered. To kickstart and cycle my QT tank I will put some Live Rock in, and dirty filter media in the hang on filter...

Hello, I am going to mod my two maxi-jet 1200's. I have found several sites that have kits. Could somebody please email me a good site to order the kit from? I would say post it on here but thats not allowed. Thanks email is peterfrancus@hotmail.com

Thanks for the info guys. As for the rock structure.. how do you all deal with it stacked along the back wall? Does anyone have powerheads behind the rock walls in their aquariums or is it not a big deal. Thanks

Hey everyone, I have a 125 set up with a little over 100 pounds of live rock. My concern is my rock is all stacked along the back wall for the most part. I had several powerheads behind the rock structure but the cords running along the back wall looked really ugly. I am ordering two...

Yes he does have internet. I will inform him about this website. I am going to type out everything he has to do STEP by STEP in order for this to work for him. I have been with salt aquariums for several years and have started a couple. The first was a wreck, but then I educated myself on how to...

A friend of mine recently bought a 40 gallon aquarium that he is determined to make into a saltwater aquarium. He tried to run a 10 gallon fresh and the fish died two days later because he didnt cycle the aquarium. I have a good amount of knowledge about fresh and saltwater aquariums and should...

Patience... That is the key.

I have my Skimmer set to wet skim instead of dry. Once every 3 days I pull the drain plug out of the bottom of the collection and drain the brown water. I would set it to dry skim but the water is really dark and not light in color so I figure its removing a lot of waste by skimming wet.

Awsome thanks a lot. I have a large Brittle Star in my wet/dry right now but Im afraid to put him up there, once I get all the rock maybe I will give him a shot in the display. But I am going to get alot of the stuff you suggested thanks.
