    One only but that is getting better slowly. Tge other one started but we did quick cure and it kept that one from doing it all the way. The nitrates were high so we did a third water change.

    Triggers are mean and ate my invertebrates, now what??

    I did alot of research and the picassio trigger I bought successfully ate 3 turbo snails, and 4 orchins. Even my puffer did not mess with them. Now I am left with what do I get for cleaner fish. I have read on this forum snails and hermit crabs. I went last night and got about 10 snails and...

    No it actually isn't as thick as the red and appears a lot lighter. Thanks for the information. At least I have a starting point now

    Green Growth

    I used to have a tone of red slime but 4 months ago when I bought the SWF I also bought 3 Mexican snails and a pencil urchin. They leaned all the red off. Because it is a different color does it make a difference as far as being a danger?

    Green Growth

    This is all I have. It has started to go up to the back glass as well. Last night I cleaned everything and again the levels were normal. Any suggestions would be very helpful. All fish appear to be healthy. Thanks!

    Couple of Questions

    I have the 4 light T5 but wanted to add the other fixture to it. With them both combined would that be enought? I don't want to spend over 1k. I was looking and some of them are very pricey, but the anemone needs proper light. The research I did I thought my lights were suffecient. The...

    Couple of Questions

    That is really wierd. When the lights first come on he is white, but as the evening progresses he turns brown. And after a few hours he starts to close up. I assumed the lights are on too long.

    Thank you. Sorry I had to get home and get all the dimensions. The aquarium is 48 X 18 X 21. My lighting system is not LED. Well I have two small LED's but I could not get the wattage from where they are in the lid. The other 4 lights are 65 W Daylight (2) and 65 W Actnic (2). The anemone...

    Couple of Questions

    All my new fish arrived and everyone but one survived the transition. The one that did not make it was my false percula. Do those have to be in pairs? And my bubbletip anemone keeps going under a rock. Is that normal. He is beautiful when he stretches out but later in the day he shimmies...

    Thank you for your comment. If you have been following my other posts, I acclimated several new fish to the tank, only keeping the puffer (a sweetheart) and the fox. I was really worried about my new online purchase of fish. I accliamated just as SWF said and so far so great. My mandarin...

    What is this fish?

    Just an update. I changed LFS and the shop I took the NASO and the Sweetlips to were real nice. Told me both the fish were infants. I went back there yesterday and noticed that the NASO they had labeled as a Unicorn Tang. They also were selling him for $125.00 (they gave me $25) and the...
