I looked at the pictures in the illness stickie but didn't see any pictures of marine ick. What does it look like? What is it (a parasite, bacteria, etc.)? And what can you do about it? One of my friends in another state has a blue reef chromis. She says it has a white film on it, solid...

I am currently setting up my second salt water aquarium, 140 gallons. I know it will be many, many months before I can add an angel (although I have some beautiful live rock that has tons of algae, etc. that is being transferred to the new tank). But I'd like to have at least one angel. Can...

Several months ago I scored a nice deal on Craigs List and bought a 140 gallon glass aquarium- used but in great shape. Life has been hectic and I haven't been able to start-up the new aquarium. So FINALLY this last weekend we started by moving our existing 90 gallon reef aquarium. First of...

One of the members here has a picture of an Interruptus Angel as her avatar. Wow, it was such a beautiful fish that I thought it had been a fantasy creation. But she very nicely shared the name with me and now I am lusting after this fish. I know they are very expensive (over $1000 if you can...

OK, I went back to the LFS with my little digital camera. The smaller the Clarion Angel, the more he costs. The smallest were in containers (like the kind you would buy potato salad in). A bunch were swimming in tanks and were they ever beautiful! The youngest fish has brilliant blue striping...

I have found some of these creatures that appear to be half-snails. They were hanging around some zoas but when I found them they weren't alive. I have no idea where they came from. I haven't added any new live rock in months. I do have some pictures but they are not great as they are from...

Ninja Star Astre Snails- Are they the same as the dreaded zoa predator Sundial Snail? Thanks for any info you can provide.

I lusted after "Dragonfly Zoas" for several months. They have a nice definite purple center, a lime green circle, and a purple skirt. I couldn't find a colony anywhere so I finally broke down and bought a frag. Get your magnifying glass out if you want to see these zoas as they are so tiny as...

I have been lucky enough to get a new 140 gallon aquarium and while it is being set-up and cycling I am researching fish again to decide on the final list of inhabitants. In the tang arena, I really like the Chevron Tang and the Achilles Tang. Although the Achilles is a bit prettier, somehow I...

I posted picture on May 28, 2007 when I first set-up my aquarium. I guess its time for a few updated pictures. The first picture is a full tank shot (and yes I know I should have turned off the flash- hindsight is 20 20). The next shot is the crowded condo. My favorite fish is my Midas...

I am SO FRUSTRATED. I have a PhotoBucket account and have been able to download photos to SWF in the past. But for the last month I have not been able to get any pictures downloaded here. I have tried and tried and tried. I can download from PhotoBucket to other sites but not SWF. The only...

For some reason I can't use the "Smilies" or the text editing features anymore. I have used them a lot in the past but for two days now I can't. How do I turn them back on, please? Thanks for your help.

I am SO lucky. I just bought a beautiful (gently used) 140 gallon glass aquarium (starphire glass on front), solid wood cabinet, solid wood canopy, an enormous custom built sump-refugium, and the metal halide lighting (with brand new bulbs) and actinics and moonlights from a nice couple on...

male and female blue spotted Jawfish?

I have been thinking about adding a blue-spotted jawfish to my established 90 gallon reef tank. I just saw an on-line ad for a "mated pair" of jawfish. Since I can't see the fish before buying them, how do I know they are actually male and female (and not just 2 jawfish shipped together)...

I have a lovely Mystery Wrasse in my 90 gallon reef tank and would love to add a Leopard Wrasse (or maybe even a male and female pair). When I try to research them the books and websites say this is for "experts only" but I can't determine why?!?!?! Your thoughts?

I have an established 90 gallon reef with good water parameters and community fish. The only non-community fish is my yellow tang. He is a good and friendly fish at this point in time. I would love to have a beautiful Copperband Butterfly fish (Chelmon rostratus) but I know that butterlies...

So who is watching Hurricane Ike (probably on the weather channel) while surfing this forum? I will fess up that I am. Thank goodness I live in California away from that wicked storm.

I live in the San Francisco bay area (east bay). Are there any saltwater aquarium or reef clubs here? (I can't find any in a web search but maybe they don't have a website.) Thanks for info!
