Hey board ok had some really good advice from you guys on my tank issue that was killing every fish in it I put in. I added a UV str in my tank and after a few days added another fish and NO problems!!! I even put one in my 55gal one fish had ick and in 24hrs was cleared up. So thanks again...

I agree with you but have also heard from many that its a must. Since my tank isn't a reef tank then to me it's worth it. If they do what they say I would think for the price it is worth adding to your tank, now I'm not saying it will solve the issue but he is willing to credit me back the...

Ok guys my recent post "please help" recieved tons of positive advice. I did speak with a man who owns his own store in Tampa and sets up including removal of roofs=) for people who want very large tanks via cranks dropping them in place so he should know whats up. I told him my problems and...

Originally Posted by VinnyRaptor like i said if its bacterial its not gonna be on the LR with the coral. moving fish out of the 55 to a QT for no reason isnt a good idea. how long has the 75 been without fish? if its been a month or so i say its fine to put the LR and corals in the 55. The...

Originally Posted by VinnyRaptor relax! but do NOT dip corals in freshwater, lol. just put everything in the 55. coral,s rock, any livestock you have left. no bacterial infection will harm your corals or live for any significant time on your rocks or in the water column. break down the 75...

Originally Posted by windlasher that might not be a bad idea. corals dont usually carry things that affect fish, so you could... Here is what I would do. set up a 10 gal QT and put some rocks from your DT in there with the corals and a cheap 20g HOB filter. drain your tank, put the rest of the...

Originally Posted by hlcroghan With all the problems you have been having, I would strongly suggest that you let your tank sit fishless for 6 weeks to 2 months. This may take longer than you want and is riskier because of how resistant some parasites are but is the cheapest way to go. Corals...

i'm pretty sure it was ick, there were no classic signs of salt looking specs but like shedding that starts and kills in 48hrs, ever fish dies that goes in my tank. I have treated all fish/tank as well with bacteria and fungial. None have been able to keep the fish alive or treat the tank...

ok guys here we go.... One clown died the other on the way out again all levels fine! The fish get this dry looking scales then in 24hrs are dead=(

Oooo no brine mysis in garlic is what I feed my fish alone with some flake food. So inpairs=) I like them and think they are pretty cool fish like you said any big fish will try and eat alittle one if hungry enough.

Thanks guys! I must say everyone who has replied has been great! Most boards many will talk down to you like a bottom feeder=) LOL

Yea i figured that but they like most if keep feed are going to leave i would think most fish alone.

Yes it is... I could kick myself for not checking my PH levels. Why is it that sometimes we don't check the smallest things and think outside the box to much? Yea since the PH is correct haven't had any issues=) Thank God!

So the pet store up the road has one and I really like this guy. Now they say he will eat any fish smaller then them which might be true with most big fish anyway. So does anyone have any of these guys? Also it says feed them shrimp or pellets? I really want to say away from live anything...

So your saying the 2 mated pair that I have wont work? They have been in the tank for 2 wks and swim side by side and eat well together? Or did you mean adding anymore clowns together?
