Hmmm, maybe it is time to place my Trigger into my new 12 gallon nano cube - is that big enough?

Hi,I have a medium (4-5") Foxface who has been in my tank approx 6 months. He is very active, eats, and gets along with everyone well. However, his tail fin seems to be getting nipped or is rotting away (not sure). I never see anyone nip at him, so I just want to see what it could be. Tank...

I've been in the same boat for ~ 6 months. Things I have tried (unsuccessfully): new vho bulbs (no luck) foxface (must be a carnivore) cut back on feeding (trigger ate my pair of banded coral shrimp) added a sea hare/bali sea monster (didn't touch it) 8 emeralds (in 60 gallon tank) rowaphos (4x...

Thanks for the help. He is only partially "open" in the picture, and is typically flat across. If I put my hands in the water close to it it will close up and looks more like a tulip before opening. There are some "mini" versions of this on the rock under the umbrella- maybe 4-5mm in diameter...

Hi, Any idea what this is? I picked it up around 3-4 months ago for under ten dollars and it has more than doubled in size and has little spawns under it on the rock that are new. The diameter is roughly 3 inches when open. Thanks!

Any other thoughts on this? I added two Korelia #3 PH's and the water is really moving around nicely now. I am also working on maintaining my pH at 8.3 and raising my alkalinity, per LFS recommendations. Ready to replace my actinic bulbs, but just wanted a bit more feedback first if...

I have a 60 and just put in two #3 Koralia's. Very happy with them, and they seem to be perfect for the size tank. I would presume two #2's would be good.

I have a foxface and he will not touch bryopsis - been in there for 3 months together and not yet seen him eat a strand.

Tattoo = trashtoo Reefing = ????

Had several near misses with Humu humu Triggers snorkeling in the pacific recently - they were around 10-12" long and would charge you, bearing their teeth.

Bulbs are 4 months old (blue) and 12 months old (actinic white - ready to be replaced). I buy my RO water from a LFS, but trust they have good filters. The saltwater I buy from them is local ocean water (S. FL). Water flow is the return pump - Quiet One 4000 HH = 980GPH, but has 5 foot head so...

I have a 60 gallon tank with 4 110 watt VHO lights on it. Tank is 1.5 years old, and I am battling green hair algae with a vengence. Lights: 2 110W 50/50 actinic white, 2 110W Actinic blue URI Am I running too much actinic lighting? Too little? Lights are on 8 hours a day. I am wondering if...

Awesome- will pick up some tomorrow. Appreciate the help!!

Thanks. He is out eating, swimming, andacting normal except for the coloring. He does look a bit skinny, but not too terribly bad. I will get some algae sheets this weekend for him. And the trigger is roughly half the size of the fox.

Hi, I have had a medium sized foxface for about a month now. He eats pellets and nips algae in my tank, but it seems like some f his body has lost it's bright yellow color and is more or a white. He is in a 60 gallon, with a clown, bar goby, two yellow chromis, black trigger, and some corals...

Thanks- it was the pump. I moved the pump around and it is much better now. I will look into the mesh mod- I know it is only a few dollars.

Got my "blem" Euro Reef RS80 and it is up and running well. Pulling some nasty junk- only complaint is it does make a bit of noise from the pump, but not too bad. One of the suction cup holders was broken on the pump (sedra), but not an issue to me.

Poor tank is likely full of ghost shrimp.

Awesome- thanks for the responses everyone. I will give this guy a shot within the next week or so - LFS has them for around 35.00 and they are maybe 3-5 inches long.
