I have a maroon clown that gets small spots like this at times,but not as large as yours. I think mine does it by rubbing against rocks and sand because it is always stirring up sand,darting into the rocks, and chasing it's reflection.It tatters it's fins too but it always gets better.I tried to...

You could also try reducing the lightime. The fish are more active and stressed during lighting. Sometimes I run my blue lights only. Sort of like a cloudy day in the ocean. If water is warm,float a bag of ice at top.Garlic extreme helps boost their immune system plus depending on what your...

You mean you got a mantis shrimp on purpose? Isn't that thing going to be destructive? Plus I,m told they are hard to see.

I've heard this a few times but before I try to go under 10 I would like an idea of how much difference it makes.

I want to say thanks for all the good input you guys are giving me. I do think I would like to try something like the chemipure product that claims to reduce nitrates and you can regenerate it instead of throwing it away. I have not thought about the turkey baster to clean the rock with. I will...

I am using a Red Sea skimmer. When you say exporting I guess that means as it grows you cut some out and throw it away to make room for more to grow? I have 1 maroon clown,1 yellow tang, 1 blue hippo tang, 1 coral beauty angel. But as I mentioned before the nitrates are hanging right where it...

If you can I would like to know how you are doing it. I have 75 gal with rock and fish.I was told to buy 75lbs rock. Now that I did I'm being told to buy more. I have 4 fish,1 shrimp,some corals, asterina and tiny brittletars, necarrius snails. Even in the beginning when I was accumulating rock...

I paid $30.00 for a filter with surface skimmer from Drs Foster and Smith.com for my 75 gal. works great, took off the surface film and more, filters better than the Emporer 400 I had previously.

Wow, That's crazy

Thanks for the input, I've just come to wonder about these asterina stars because I also have a post open about my green mushroom problem and I noticed a couple of times lately that there was a star on top of whats left of 5 mushrooms and it made me wonder if the stars were eating on the mushrooms.

Are the tiny white starfish that hitchhike their way into your tank harnful in any way, such as eating too much. There are over 100 in my 75 gallon. I have many infant snails that were born in my tank but none of them mature plus I can't get green mushrooms to grow. I saw a starfish on the...

I have moved it all over the tank, close to light , under rocks away from light. close to movement, further away from movement

I bought a rock with 5 mushrooms on it and in a short time there was only one that has shrunk to a very small size and has been hanging on like this for a long time. These are supposed to be extremely easy to keep and require almost nothing. I have red mushrooms and they are doing great. What...

Thanks Mr. X I will check into the two options you suggested as so will cskendrick I'm sure. And now my apologee's to cskendrick for the following. It turns out that in 1 of my threads a person responded 1 time only to have spiderwoman begin an attack on this person which then led to everyone...

Even more info, I used to change water at 25% every month and am now doing 15% weekly to keep the water more regular instead of depleting it over a month. Regardless neither way had any effect on the brown algae.

I forgot to mention in my first post that I also test for phosphates and it is always zero. Even after that I still used phosphate remover and it didn't change anything. Recently my brown algae was not as aggressive as it was in the beginning. I changed my light bulbs because I was at 8 months...

I get the brown algae on my sand and then on my glass too. My water tests perfect for ph,ammonia,nitrites, nitrates every time so that is not what killed your clean up crew. I do not use an RO, all I use is my well water. I have asked for advice on this problem many times and received a lot of...

I have treated ich in my reef and fish tank without removing anything.Keep in mind that all the while you are chasing your fish around the rocks they are being stressed which is a cause of ich. Unless it doesn't take long for you to catch them.The product I used is reef safe. It is called kick...

I have a 75 gallon with a Blue Hippo, yellow tang, coral beauty, maroon clown. Would two Blue hippos get along and maybe calm each other down or would they not like each other?

I have used the lemon juice and it does work fine without hurting anyone else, I have had a peppermint shrimp that never ate an aiptasia ever, I have also found a product that works better than the lemon juice. It is called Aiptasia Control. The box has a website available being...
