Thank you SnakeBlitz33! I decided on a nice rock partially covered with red and green zoas, and a couple of two inch Kenya tree coral frags. The zoas opened up completely within two hours, and the guy at my LFS (who gave me super discounts BTW, about $40 off total!) said it might take the tree...

Coral ideas? I have a 20 inch T5HO fixture with one white bulb and one actinic bulb. Tank size: 10 gallons. 1 clown, one chromis, one lawnmower blenny. One astrea, two nerites, four blue-leg hermits. Any coral ideas for a newbie with this set-up? Thanks in advance! -thedragonfish

My six line died a week ago :( My water params were and are perfect, he had plenty of food and hiding spots. I just woke up one morning and he was skulking under a rock, didn't respond when I fed, moved a bit when i scooted the rock a little to see if he was even alive but then was still again...

Hello! I have a 10 gallon nano tank and I splurged on some Fiji LR. Almost all of it fits in my tank except this one medium-sized piece. It is mostly solid, with a few holes and a curved spot that creates a cave when set down. It is a really nice piece, I will post a pic as soon as I can. It...

Update :) So except for that one astrea and hermit, all my inverts are lively and eating algae. My reduced lighting schedule is helping a lot with the algae. My six line is very active, darting amongst the caves and tunnels and also swimming out in the open occasionally too. Nibbled at the...

Quote: This is a symptom of low salinity, starvation, osmotic shock, excess ammonia, or a few other less common ailments. Apparently we can rule out starvation but without posting water parameters it's impossible to guess further. My water parameters as 30 seconds ago: Ammonia: 0 ppm Nitrate...

Weirdly acting astrea snail? I have two astrea snails, and up until recently, both were all over the glass all the time. Now, however, one has been sitting in the same spot on the sand for a day or so and not moving. I picked him up to see if he was dead, but he responded and pulled even...

Thank you for the algae ID help, still not 100% sure what it is though- I'll try to go to my LFS tomorrow. So since this is pretty much the only "tank diary" I have, I might as well post an update :) My sand bed is now basically an algae carpet, hoping to pick up two nassarius snails...

Algae ID help? Sorry for the meh pic but does anybody know what kind of algae this is/ how to get rid of it??? It's the long strand thing with the air bubbles in it, right next to my clownfish. I've never seen anything like it. Thanks, -thedragonfish

Does anybody have any ideas w/o live plants? I've got an inch of gravel, filter, heater, a little cave and some plastic plants. Is there a type of fish besides a betta anyone would recommend putting in there? Thanks for your idea, beaslbob, I kind of set it up already though so that wouldn't...

Thanks Bang Guy and grant778. I have no clue what is going on. I woke up this morning and he was totally fine, swimming around like normal, not a single spot on him. He even ate more last night, seems to prefer mysis over pellets, don't blame him lol. I don't know what to do, does he have ich...

Hey guys, I have a little 2.5 AGA with a 50W heater and HOB filter rated for 10 gals, also have some FW substrate and fake plants. It's just sitting there and I love a project but don't want to make it a SW nano. Does anybody w/ FW experience have any ideas? I was thinking a dwarf gourami...

Thank you for your advice grant778. When I got home later today, I looked at my clownfish (still in my main tank) and could not believe what I saw. The scattered tiny white things that I had seen just a little while ago that looked exactly like ich were all gone! I am so confused. I probably...

Hospital tank setup- help please! I looked in my 10 gal this morning and my clownfish has ich :( First, I'm going to call my LFS where I got him and ask for suggestions (i.e. could i bring him there and have them hospitalize him) If they say no or don't have any good suggestions, I'm going to...

Help!!! I got an aquacultured snowflake clownfish about 3 days ago, and I don't think he is eating enough. I feed marine s pellets in the morning and frozen mysis at night. He will only eat about 3-5 pellets and then he just chases after them but doesn't eat them. With the mysis he eats a...

So, another update :) Yesterday I got a Snowflake clownfish at my LFS, very reasonably priced, I'm really happy :D He's swimming all over the tank, and he and the chromis appear to be getting along so far. I'm feeding them Marine S pellets and frozen mysis at the moment, and will probably get...

Quote: Hi, You need some help with stocking your tank... It's a 10g tank...it is already overstocked with just the green/blue chromis, which will grow to 3 inches, it already needs a larger tank...you can't add a clown or Royal Gramma both are 3.5 inch fish, and needs a minimum 30g tank, and...

Update and a question- I cycled with some fish food i put in the tank which decayed and it took about 2 1/2 weeks for the levels to all reach zero. Today, I got a blue-green chromis and he looks great, seems very happy in my tank :) I plan on getting an ocellaris clown, a royal gramma and a...
