I would like to start off by thanking everyone here who have helped me learn all that I could about reef keeping. After extensive research and money spending my reef tank is finally up and going. Here are some pics Before anyone gets upset, the tangs in my tank are currently really...

I've had this guy for about a week now and I must say I love him. So far he has not eaten any algae sheets I put in the tank. I'm just wondering do any of you guys who have an LMB, Do you feed it or does he find his meals on the LR algae. Mine is pooping a lot so I take it I shouldn't have to...

I had a thread about it 2 weeks ago. I was just curious to see why she had her hawkfish in hypo. My intentions were not to hijack her thread...

Just a quick question, Were you QT'ing the fish because it sick or because it was a new addition? I'm also QT a few fish before I add it to my DT. I'm in my 2nd week of QT and the fish show no signs of disease. I'm skeptical whether I should put it through hypo or not.

I bring mine to cocktail parties with a follow up of a briefing about recession. Nothing can be more intimidating.

Hey Welcome to the board! The white dots you mentioned that comes and goes sounds like ich to me. I used to vouch for my ***** saying they are different from the usual "bad" Petcos. That was until... a clown that I purchased from ***** perished within 24 hours. I would look for a good LFS and...

How slow is slow? My pump pumps water out at a rate of 700GPH, (with a 4-5 feet distance to travel I'd say it will go down to 600). Is that slow enough to place it in the return section of my fuge?

I was thinking about buying a phosphate reactor for my new 55g with a 30g Fuge (might be bigger). I was thinking, could I just put the PhosBan filter media in a filter bag and place it in between the Fuge baffles or perhaps in the return compartment? Let me know

What I lack in size I make up for it in aggressiveness... quite similar to my baby domino damsel

It could be a certain number of things but I noticed Green Chromis tend to kill each other.

Originally Posted by baloo4 I have three clown fish. Currently the 2 are attacking the third. They have been in the tank together for a year. Now they are attacking him. I read somewhere that they sometimes have "skirmishes" to determine the ---...but that is usually when you have 2 similarly...

Originally Posted by Nano Reefer wrong! think about it. The water is being dripped into the tank at, lets say 80 degrees F. So, unless it is 20 degrees in your house, then you shouldn't be worried. the temp would be the same. And if you live in Brooklyn like your profile says, it has been in...

Originally Posted by Angler man I concur with this post as I have also made the same mistake. I don't think three hours is too long, the key is keeping the water very close in temp. I have used a heating pad underneath the styrofoam to keep temps close over a long period of time. This is the...

Originally Posted by rtspeed i am going to say it probally was temp shock as you acclimated them quite long and the water was probally not the same temp as the qt's That is a really good thought... Should of realized that . But wouldn't temp shock kill the fish relatively fast? Or would it...

I know the reputation of ***** but the one which I go to I have not noticed any sick fish from my 3 month of venturing there. Every time I go there I speak to the guys there for quite a while..enough to convince me they know their stuff. I am aware of the bad reputation ***** gives off. I've...

I would cure it.

Okay to start things off I will list my water parameters Ammonia: 0 Nitrite:0 Nitrates: 10 Salinity/Gravity: 30/1.024 Calcium: 350 Phosphates: 0.2 With that said, yesterday I bought 2 false Percula Clownfish to add to my QT tank (20g). (It has cycled for about 6 weeks). I drip acclimated them...
