Sorry to say, it died.....sad day

sigh.....I'll try

Don't have one....sorry she doesn't live anywhere near me. She doesn't like these forums. Like I said, she doesn't know I am posting this.

....nice....nice.... That's what she thinks, I can't believe that!

Hi, my sister told me her royal gramma (I think she bought it 3-4 weeks ago) looks like it has 'wrinkles'. Any idea what it could be? I don't know any of her parameters, she doesn't know I'm posting this. She says her chromis are doing fine.....

no way!

I went to my LFS yesterday and was looking at some frags. Well, I saw a rock that had something on it, it reminded me of jellyfish. They were see-through and oval shaped. I was told the name and, of course, by the time I got home I forgot what it was . I didn't buy it but I am curious...

Copepods are tiny crustaceans that live in liverock and in the sandbed. I believe that is mostly what the mandarin gobies eat. That's why they are hard to keep. You can buy a colony of live copepods at the LFS to replenish the stock; at least mine sells them, anyhow. There is also a way to...

I'm still considering myself a newbie. Probably will for another year or so or even longer. The best advice I can give is this(and that's what I did): Read everything you can get your hands on, forums are a great resource, BEFORE you buy anything. Patience, Patience, Patience! How many times...

Okay, so I'm still new to this hobby and this is what I've accomplished so far. My tank is about 3 months old now. Don't laugh! I can't compete with any of the tanks I've seen here but I can dream..... Attachment 234553

I went to my LFS yesterday to buy a couple of firefish, only to walk out with 4 new coral frags . They had a nice collection of new frags and among them was a sun coral so I bought it and I want to make sure I feed it properly. Does anyone have a good way to spot feed the heads individually...

Thanks! I do already test for Alkalinity but I think I will also get a calcium test tomorrow.

I've been looking at pictures of established reef tanks. I must admit, I've been practically drooling! With all the diversity of coral and fish, that's exactly what I am looking for down the road. I know it's a slow process, those kind of tanks don't happen overnight. Here's my question: I...

Originally Posted by cajonez My cleaners will eat anything I put in the tank...flake, pellet, mysis. They go crazy as soon as food hits the water. I don't have any peps, so I can't help you there. Also, $30 seems a bit on the high end. Do you have more than 1 store you can check with? I got one...

Speaking of cleaner shrimp..... I was going to get one but the guy at the LFS said that they usually don't eat flakes and such and if the fish don't have parasites they will slowly starve? Is that true? Also, do they get along with peppermint shrimp? They are about $30 a pop at my LFS and I...

Thanks to everyone for their advice and sympathy. It made me feel better. I have about 8 hermits in my tank as well as several snails and even an urchin. They do an ok job but I think even they are overwhelmed, . They can only eat so much. The toothbrush was new, I wouldn't use an old one...

Originally Posted by lietz06 Well I'm sorry to hear about your firefish:( It might have been caused by you stiring stuff up in your tank while using the toothbrush! Hopefully someone else can chime in...but that's what I'd guess....or it was the temp drop, lol! I think it might have been a...

Originally Posted by Mr.clownfish IMO i dont think a 3 degree drop would have done anything. ive had a heater malfunctions that increased and decreased the temp to around 75 and 89 degrees a few times and i didnt loose anything. It was probably something else that killed your firefish. did you...

Well, I thought I was doing well.....I did a water change this morning and now my firefish is dead . The first fish I have ever lost. I also have 2 clowns, a watchman goby, a couple of shrimp, several snails, a pincushion urchin, some hermits and coral in my 40 Gallon tank (about 3 months...
