I know it is not all their fault. It just frustrates me that this has happened. I have read Beth's thread about hypo and that is the plan. We are going to get some fresh water and hypo the tank starting tomorrow. Thanks for all the advice.

So, I know the best way to get rid of ICH is to do some hyposalinity to the tank. I have a couple of questions about this... If I take the fish out of the DT and put them in QT to treat, how is that treating the DT? Won't the ICH still be there when I return the fish to the DT? Should I just...

Sorry it took me so long to get back. The water params are PH--8.0 Nitrite==0 Nitrate-10 Ammonia=0 She is swimming around better today and her color is better. Today is feeding day so we will see if she actually eats something. I will let you guys know. Thanks for the help.

We have a fuzzy dwarf lion fish that has recently stopped eating. We have had for about 8 months. She has been fine until, probably, the last three days. Her eating habit is normall every other day. Two days ago, she ate only one piece of Krill. Tonight she did not eat anything. We even...

kanamycin is what it is actually called. We got it from the LFS after we told them what was going on and they said it would be fine to treat the entire tank. After reading some of the other entries, it is possible that he was either not eating, or someone was beating him up when we had the...

Ph--8.2 Nitrate--10 Nitrite--0 Ammonia--0 Salinity--1.021 These are the results of our water test, 5 minutes ago. We have had the carbon filter cartridges out for the last 3 days to treat the water with kenomyacin (SP) because our flame angelfish's eye puffed up and then had some white gunk on...

They did not do a phosphate reading and I am not sure that the testing kits I have are adequate. I do not have a skimmer or refugium. I wasn't sure I needed one. It could be due to overfeeding. We were feeding every other day, but we have recently cut back to every three days. I don't know...

Okay, I haven't been here in a while, but I am needing some insight/possible help. I am in the process of testing the water for all the numbers, but I am also getting ready to do a 10 gal water change. When I turned on my lights this afternoon, I had a dead turbo snail and a dead green chromis...

Thanks for the help. We will appreciate any help you might have for us.

Well, he isn't really aggressive. He is actually quite small. We have a crab of some kind that snuck in on our coral and I was sure that he was going to die within a matter of hours, but it has been almost a month and he is still crabbin around. I was thinking of a goby of some sort. Or...

It is a 55 gal. Hermit crabs? The fuzzy won't bother them? Thanks for the input.

We are needing something that will help keep the sand a little nicer. We have 2 GSM's, 1 fuzzy dwarf lion, 2 chromis and 1 red snapper (trying to GIVE AWAY!!!!!!!), as well as 3 turbo snails. Any ideas? Thanks Mel

I see lots of people looking, but no takers. That makes me sad that there are no other fish people near me. Well, I guess I can take him to the LFS, but they won't be happy. They don't like to trade. They get a little touchy about these kinds of things. Well, again, if anyone knows someone...

Well, we were naming them all, but my sweetie's all seemed to die if he named them. So, I have been left with the task of naming them all. My daughter and step-daughter help out when I am at a loss. Currently we have: Bob and Bob Jr. (or BJ)--GSM Fuzzy--Fuzzy dwarf lion Dumb and Dumber--2...

We have a juvenile red snapper that is taking over our tank. We are willing to give him to a good home. He is about 2-3 inches long. He will eat out of your hand but he eats or thinks he should eat everytime we are near the tank. I don't want to ship him, because I am afraid of what might...

Okay, what do I need to do for the garlic thing? I have heard that for other fish too. I have heard it is good for all of them. Helps their immune system. I am sad about the potter. He is pretty and I afraid we would kill him. We have had a string of deaths lately and I am not sure if it...

What does anyone know about this gorgeous fish? There is one at our lfs and they have had it since Wednesday. They say it is eating and doing well. We tried to watch it eat this evening. It seemed interested, but was out eaten by a couple of wrasse that were in the tank. The guy said it had...

I think we are going to stick with the fish we have right now. Apparently we have an AIP outbreak. After we get that taken care of, we are going to look into some more corals. Anyone suggest anything?

Not sure which forum this goes in, but as I have been researching some stuff for my tank, I realized that I have AIP. It is only growing on my togo(?) rock. It has been there since we started the tank. The lfs never said they were bad. It has now, almost, completely covered one of our...

Our yellow striped maroon clown is digging holes in the sand under some rock. Is this something they do commonly? Could there be a reason for it? Is it something we should be concerned about? The other question is, we have read that maroon's are aggressive...well, we also found that out the...
