Yes, It is a recent aquisition. I've been researching all night about this guy, but a pressing question is, how will I know when he's about to bite the dust? I had a pink tip before, and when he died very suddenly he got sucked up into the filtration and crashed my tank. Will he just shrivel or...

What do I need to do to save him?

Can anyone identify this anemone?

So I have another suggestion. If I were to reduce my stock to just the tang and pair of clownfish, I'm assuming that would solve the issue with the dissolved organics, thus removing the algae and cyano problems. Would this be a correct assumption?

Sounds like a party. I will do this and get back to yous all. Thank you all for your interest in my dilemma.

Looks like co2 is reading at 2.1? Do you think that my filtration is insufficient? Would this be the reason for all the algae and cyano?

I wasn't targeting 8.2. My target is 8.6, where most of my corals prefer. I just can't get to that. It's stable at 8.2 which I feel is a bit low for a reef tank. The fish (4 chromis, 2 clowns, tang, gramma, and goby) get a cube of spurlina once every other day. Is that too much? I don't know...

I have a few issues with my 8 month old 75 gal. I hope you smart people ( you know who you are) can help me out. I can't seem to get a straight answer from anyone at my lfs. 1. I can't elevate my ph above 8.2. I have gone through a month of buffering with Kent's and it went up from 7.8. I have...

Hate to say it but you may not have any other option but to take the tank down and uproot him. Catching him otherwise is a job for Steve Erwin (God rest his soul). They are just so quick and they possess senses that make them impossible to catch, save an error on their part.

I came home from work today and I found that my large sea hare had found its way into my power head and subsequently grinded most of himself in it. I cleaned out and siphoned what I could but I'm sure there's a lot just waiting to decompose. What other steps do I need to take to protect my...

Would carbon change anything in conjunction with your suggestions?

What's too large? What kind of pump am I looking to be getting for an under tank?

Which is better for a 75gal?

breedclownfish.com has a pretty in depth guide to rearing your babies. I've always wanted to hatch some clown fish and sell them for profit. I might have some true percula eggs soon though. Hope this helps.

I'm replying to this post because I'm experiancing the same issue, almost to the T. I stopped feeding my little buddies frozen food because I have had such a harrowing experiance with hair and cyno. I figure it's due to large amounts of organics in my system, but I can't pinpoint a source. I...

Alright. Good to know. If it doesn't work out, would you like some clown fish caviar?

My concern with the two bangai cards is that if they aren't a male and a female they'll just go back to beating eachother up. Keep that in mind. A lot of species of fish aren't species friendly. While a little bit of back and fourth bickering is ooookkkaaayyyy, any damage to fins or interruption...

Haha, NO dottybacks and chromis are not the same thing. Not even close. They are both fish, and that is about as far as their similiarities go. As for bangai and PJs, I've never heard of them being aggressive towards eachother, but I do know that they both can be a bit aggressive to others of...

It's certainly possible that your tank has cycled. My tank completely cycled in a week and I couldn't believe it. Just keep a close eye on those levels and maybe trade that dottyback for something with a little less anger. Get a clownfish or something. I would also recommend getting at least 2...

I've been watching my pair of true perculas, and my larger female is clearly getting rounder, and my smaller male is clearly acting like a boy in love. Will they actually spawn in my tank? What if they do spawn in my tank? I've had clownfish spawn before, and the result was a horrible event with...
