During feeding time Sunday night my dogface puffer wanted all of the food and went to take a piece of squid from my stars and stripes and ended up grabbing onto him instead of the squid. After a couple chomps he let go. Today get home from work and the stars and stripes was at the bottom of...

Already have a dogface puffer but would like to add a Black dog face or a stars & stripes can I have 2 puffers in the same tank if they are close to the same size?

My freezer seems to over freeze or under freeze. Noticed today that the contaners I keep the krill in was not as frozen as normal. Opened up and I was able to pick out individual pieces instead of a clump thats normally frozen togather.

Sorry for the delayed response, was in AZ all week working. Very cool thing tho, the puffer loves my wife (fish must think im the grim reaper with everything thats been going on) he finally started eating again. Started coming out for her and she hand feed him all week. I flew home today to see...

Well, 4 weeks later and down 4 fish. Foxface & Niger trigger swimmin and eating, dogface swimming but not him self (not the normal puffer excitment and not eating) for about a week. Not moving anything to the QT it seems like the QT is the place to die. Copper has been removed from the tank...

Welcome Ton of knowledge here to help get the answers you need. Your going to have to start from scratch to convert a FW to SW. I was informed by my LFS when I was going to convert my FW 55 to SW, I was going to have to empty it clean it (just vinager and water). For a 20gal use live rock and...

OK this is starting to suck, seems like my Atlantic blue tang has gotten worse since starting the hypo and cupramine. All others: Maroon clowns no signs acting normal, same goes for foxface, bluejaw trigger and niger trigger. Dogface is acting normal nothing has changed with him, still has ich...

No offense to the mastiff, TY for the temp info. I am also using cupramine.

Busy day, just started the hypo, raised temp to 81. Went out and bought a 20 gal tank and have that started to put my LR in and my anemone hermit in so I can treat the big tank. (Yes I have a hermit with a dogface, think my dogface is part of the mastiff breed...he is pretty dumb and the anemone...

TY, Is it the Atlantic that is very prone to Ick or all tangs in general ? I have read the kole and cheveron are very hardy. LFS said the Atlantic was hardy when I purchased him and everything was great until he experienced his first maintanence in my tank, since then I'm pretty sure he has ick...

180g fowlr: Have an Atlantic Blue roughly 4in. I have read that it is difficult to keep and they do not do well in captivity and they prefeer another tang over being solitary. So considering a Chevron or Kole to add to the tank, is this a good idea???? Also any other info on the atlantic blue...

My first car was a 66' Dodge Charger, I bought it when I was 14 and spent 2 years building the motor (father son bonding). Got my license and 2 weeks later got my first ticket which the ticket charges were: 105 over max speed limit, instigating a drag race, wreckless driving, careless driving...

TY for the replies, No plans for coral in the 180, have 2 canisters running. Ended up with just an 850 to go on the other side, just needed something for some more agitation at the top.

My foxface likes to swim around with my dogface and goldstripe maroon clowns, my triggers swim around to fast, so he really wont follow them.

Thank you for all the info, Think I am going to go the 45 gal route (or a little smaller) the temp thing is a little concerning here in Vegas, my tanks all ready run at 80 and that can be difficult to keep them at 80 or below when it is a hundred and stupid outside. Good 15 yr gaurantee on my...

Well 5 months into on our fish only 180 gal and with so many visits to the LFS my wife now wants a coral tank for her birthday in Nov, so I have plenty of time to research and learn to be succesful with yet another addition to the hobby and house hold. Was looking at (I think) the nano 28 pro...

Update: GSM's are doing very well, all the fin nips are 90% healed. Over the past couple weeks of monitoring, my Niger just wants to be king of the tank. He is the bully but once any of my other fish stick up for them selves he turns into the big baby of the tank. Still learning gonna wait until...
