I would like to place my corals in the sun instead of using bleach on them to get the algae off. Right now its pretty damn cold out and there is spotty sun. They have dried out in the garage. Could I hit them with the pressure washer lightly =) or is there another way to clean them where they...

Anyone ever hear of an eel eating seaweed paper? Mine just started eating it with my tangs. Weirdest thing.

Actually got him to eat fresh crab meat. Was feeding him red claw crabs. They would disappear at night. My snowflake was knocking a few off too. Then i got some fresh crab meat and this eel is all about it but I need to feed at night. Took long enough, but I plan to get this eel eating other...

Honestly I have no idea whats going on. Hopefully this Dr Tim stuff works to knock down these nitrites.

Interesting enough. My nitrites spiked and my ammonia is the same level. The water is very clear, but I noticed what looks like a light amount of carbon in my protein skimmer there is virtually no waste in there. This may sound silly but does the carbon bond to the waste and thats why it looks...

I use amquel on any water I use. I had been trying to setup an RO system but the one I bought just leaked non stop.

Thank you for the reply. It was RO water and I am not sure how long it was mixed up since I had a service come in, but the salinity is right where it should be and I do not believe there was anything in the container. I feel the sand got disturbed a lot when the coral was swapped out. Also we...

Carbon swap was when I did the water change.

Recently did a 40 gallon water change on my 200 gallon tank. 2 days later I got a bacteria bloom. Nitrites were high and PH was off. Now PH is fine, but nitrites are .25ppm and the water is almost clear. Ammonia levels are fine too. Also swapped out my carbon. Should I do a water change or wait...

Thanks dude, I have had him for over a year. Interesting enough I noticed the same thing on golden trevally. I will keep an eye to see if it gets worse. Just in case, if it does start to get red, what should I use to treat?

My pilot fish looks to have one too

Any ideas on what this lump, pimple looking thing is on the lip of my lionfish? Eats fine, acts fine. Maybe one of my other fish nipped him on the lip?

Hello everyone I have a tassle filefish. Everything is cool with it except I notice that his teeth look like they have grown quite a bit. Fish eats like a pig but I want to get proactive on the teeth. I occasionally throw in some red claw crabs for my eels but I noticed the filefish killed and...

Hi Saxman, I gave it a shot again. The other nite, The eel has no interest in the food I am presenting. My snowflake is the complete opposite. May give it a shot tonight or try some other live food until I can get this one eating frozen. I am not sure how it was fed at the store but it was not...

Was thinking of gut loading some ghost shrimp to entice my dragon to eat. I got one for about 2 months. So far I have not seen him eat anything. I was away for a week and supposedly he was eating fresh squid from my friend who was feeding for me (FIGURES). I added a few 1.5" red crabs which have...

Tried a bunch of things, I think the eel is just getting used to the tank. All my other fish are also pretty active when food comes in so that could be throwing the eel off as well. He will bite food, check it out, but he never eats it.

Mine now just swims all over the tank. I try new food but he does not eat any of it. He bites it and then goes about his way. Not attacking my fish cause he could never fit one in his mouth, but he is very active. Gonna keep trying silversides until he eats them. Eel looks great, just need to...

I'm gonna take the dragon back tomorrow. All he wants to eat is live fish. Every fish has a different personality, this one does not fit with my tank. Have been trying to feed him frozen for a month. So far he ate my bird wrasse so it's time for him to go. Gonna try a smaller one at the store.

The ones I use are pro-salt.com. By trying to feed my dragon I have started to vary my diet for my predators. Very mixed up diet starting this week. Shrimp, smelt, scallops. Thanks for the video I'm going to follow that advice

All makes sense now. Checked today and all my levels look back to normal. Thanks so much for everyone's advice. Thanks for the compliment on the dragon, unfortunately he will not eat frozen. Literally tried everything. He did eat bird wrasse which means he has to go. Thinking of trading for a...
