Pufferlover I want to get a blood shrimp, but I heard they hide alot and you don't hardly ever see them. I have a purple lobster and have only seen it twice in 3 months. Is this true about the shrimp?

I got a green finger coral about 4 days ago and it still has not opened. It is slumped over all other corals are opened just fine no problem. I know it will be beautiful if it would open but it's just laying flat down, what is the problem? thanks

Do not mix the kalk in the aqua doser!

you can leave the protein skimmer on and drip the kalk at night or early in the morning when the lights are out.

You only have to use 1 teaspoon per gallon any more with be wasting the kalk. The water will on hold so much kalk in a solution and that is it. Put more will do nothing but waste it. The best way I have found to mix the kalk is go to wal-mart and get a 2 gallon water dispenser. This will...

I have a sailfin tang that is eating well and acting normally. In the last couple of days it has some faded discolorations on much its body. He seems to be normal otherwise, can this be stress or a disease.

Bluewater, great clear pictures, how did you get them on the message board, and what kind of camera did you use?

Landmeier, does Old Yeller Tang anger you also, he should he said the same thing I did. But Fish Sense if you want to throw away your money like I did go right ahead. I tried twice so just wanted to save you a little trouble. They get sucked into power heads of all kinds and if not that they...

You don't have to worry about what they eat cause they probably won't last very long in your tank. They will either die of starvation or get sucked up by a pump it's just a matter of time for either.

I have one, they are cool and usually stay on the bottom behind rocks, very shy animals but very beautiful. With 250 lbs of rock in a 135 I don't see it very often.

Could have been dead, my sally has never bothered anything, that I know of anyway.

Thanks for trying to help me Beth. I have a 135 with 250 lbs of rock most of it live. I have countless inverts well the good news if you want to call it that, is maybe it is not velvet if it kills that fast. Actually I noticed something on this fish not long after I got it. And that has been...

This clown fish has been having this for a good while now and shows no signs of distress. He eats like a pig, he doesn't breath heavy, he doesn't swim eractically, seems normal. Someone said it might be a type of fungus since he is absent of all these other symptoms.

I don't know if I have it or not, I have a clown fish that in the morning looks like it has a white powder on it, but it seems to go away by night time. Now my purple pseudo is rubbing on the rocks and might have it also. what do I do to save the fish? Take all the rocks out to catch and...

Has anyone used this product called "no ich"? It is supposed to be safe for reef use and kills parasites.

Once you see the symtoms of velvet on a fish, how long does it take for the fish to die?

jacksonpt, where can I get a piranha?

ok here is the whole article [hr] EVAPORATION MAKE-UP WATER & KALKWASSER Because the tank is exposed to air, and strong pumps are circulating the water throughout the filtering system (overflow pipes, drip plate, prefilter, and protein skimmer), you will get a significant amount of...

I have been reading on message boards etc., that there is somewhat of a movement if you want to call it that, away from using skimmers in a reef tank for the very reason BurnSPy has stated.

Well the questions is why add so much so quick, according to the article it is not so much so quick. But the real reason I was thinking about this is because I tried the drip method and it just didn't work well for me, always complications of one kind or the other.
