    Protein Skimmer

    Thanks, for writing back. We want a very live aquarium with fish and lots of different kinds of coral and yes my husband likes the SPS corals. We went with it, since it was a good price with a 1 year warranty too. But it's still doing the same thing as before, just clear bubbles, doesn't seem to...

    I've read it's a good filteration system and for potential NNR, and I would like a sand sifting starfish and a sea cumcumber. The guy at our LFS said a deep sand bed would be best for these things?? We also like the look and would like to start growing coral and other stuff.

    Thats the best picture I can get, he won't let me take a picture or really see that part of his body he swims away as soon as I try to look at that side.

    Yes we have a sump. We want a deep sand bed at some point. At our LFS we were told the Tang is going to completely lose that eye that is swollen and filmed over. We have those frozen Daily cubes that are a mix of meat food and vitamins and we got algae sheets too.

    Yes he is eating, mostly the algea strips. He also has been swimming around and found a hiding place in a cave. So what other food would you recommend for him and I noticed my foxface is loosing color a little too. Our protein skimmer is also not working at all, any recommendations for protein...

    Thanks very much, taking the squirrel fish to the LFS now. Anything I can do to get the Tang to heal, he is going to live right? Could he be bumping in to rocks to make his skin look worse too? What kind of natural filters do you recommend? Also my protein skimmer in the top part only has dirty...

    Our water source is RO from outside the grocery store, and husband mixes the salt in. He mixes the water the night before and then takes the old water out and pumps the new in. We did a 30gallon change on saturday when we moved the tank and then another 20 gallon on sunday since the levels were...

    Thanks, I will take the squirrel fish to the LFS today. We are new, 4 days in and our 1st tank! We were also told a clean up crew would help our nitrates and a cleaner shrimp could also help the tang remove some of the bacteria and clean his eye up?? But our nitrates are too high for any inverts...

    Yes he looked this way when I removed him from the bucket, his left eye is also swollen(3 times the size as the other) with a white film over it. He did have skin flakeing off(white pieces) and now it is just open, can see red, And the rest is discoloration, and there is a big line that goes...

    Nitrates 40ppm, nitrites 0, total alkalinity 120-180, ph 8.4 Move took about 3 hours, the guy we got it from is saying it was attacked by his Angel fish but didn't tell me that until I sent him a picture and asked what happen to the Sailfin. We have a Euro reef RS-80, bio balls are clean, filter...
