    What could cause a Coral Beauty Angel...

    What could cause a Coral Beauty Angel to be fine one minute, and the other minute just lying on its side struggling to breath. Last night I checked the tank and everything was fine including the Angel. It was swimming around like nothing was wrong. I went to the store, came back, and...

    OMG the heat down here is unbelievable

    I am so bored, confined to the house all weekend. Here in Atlanta we are going to reach our 4th straight day above 100. I know in the west it stays this hot, but this heat is different. We have set records the past three days, it is already 97 degrees here. It has topped 103 the past two...

    Going reef! Dumb questions to start.

    When you receive coral, it is usually on a small piece of rock. I know its not best to put in the sand, but what are you suppose to do with it. Would you epoxy it to rock already in the tank? This is part of the learning process, please excuse the "ignorant" questions. TIA

    Longnose Hawkfish vs Lawnmower Blenny/General quest. about the latter

    Will I be able to safely add a Lawnmower Blenny to a 55g with a longnose hawkfish? I realize the LMB can get pretty large but will he be picked on by the hawk? Similar bodyshape, both can stop and go at will. The Longnose already took out my sixline. One general question about the...

    Two questions about ordering from SWF

    This question is for the experience and people who have actually ordered. No offense. After a few fish, one coral, some rock blah blah blah. I have come to the realization that I can get way more for my money here. But I have a couple questions before doing so: 1) I want a green flourescent...

    What fish can I add, with a Long Nose Hawk?

    I have a Long Nose Hawk, 2 False Percs, and 1 Coral Beauty. I HAD a sixline wrasse before the long nose decided to take it out. I want to add another fish, but obviously the Hawk is giving me trouble with fish who have similar body shapes. What else could I get. I would love to get another...

    Cyano, losing the battle, what to do?

    I have been fighting a cyano problem for about a month now. It was manageable and controllable until I went on vacation. I left the tank to my friend, and he grossly overfed. Now it went from the back glass to the sand. I siphoned it out on Sunday, and did a 20% wc, and it came right back...

    Odd question about new aged saltwater.

    I mixed about 10gals of salt last saturday. It was stored in HD 5g jugs, with the sealed top. I am doing my wc's today. When I put in the new salt the water is very cloudy. Why would that be? Am I not suppose to let it sit that long? This has never happened to me before.

    Coral Beauty doesn't seem to be eating.

    I bought a coral beauty yesterday, and he doesn't seem to be interested in eating. I make my own food that includes shrimp, scallops, squid, and a bunch of garlic. There is also some blue-green algae in a clip in the qt. Is he just stressed and will come around. Or should I be worried...

    Just venting, found out that my summer will suck

    Well my other hobby is playing softball. At 31 I have yet to realize that the body is a little more fragile and heals a little slower. My pride told me to slide headfirst into second the other day, well the inevitable happened, hand injury. After fours days agonising and pondering whether or...
