I recently purchased 2 clown fish this weekend along with a brown tang. Unfortunately, one clown has died preceeded with a white film. they both have never eaten while in the tank. The white film is beginning to show on the 2nd. No other fish have this problem. I have 3 damsels and 2 tangs that...

I'm pretty sure that your situation is typical and usual. Have you thought of adding maybe some damsels in your tank to help with the cycle. As far as the brown algae, it really looks crappy but it should soon go away. I had the same situation and eventually it went away. You may want to scrape...

If I may add, my Yellow Tang changes color sometimes, too. He sometimes goes a pale-creamish color. In the morning, he has a little cream-colored line running horizontally over his body. I think this is normal. Sometimes, he will show signs of fading in color around the nose area, but this will...

Thanks for the feedback. It is helpful to know that this is very normal!

It may be the same things that I've discovered. little white wormy critters that seem to stick their heads out about a few inches and retract out of my Live Rock. Very interesting to watch. I don't quite know what they are either but they seem to be of no harm so far.

<img src="graemlins//freak.gif" border="0" alt="[freak]" /> A few weeks ago, my wife and I thought that we would add some sea shells to the floor of our tank. after about 2 weeks, I noticed that one of the sea shells were moving and one of my crabs were in it. It really freaked me out! The fact...

I have seen these little white worms on my LR and it kinda freaked me out. It's good to find out that they are pretty harmless.

Help, I have a yellow tang along with three blue damsels, 3 small crabs. Have had tang for approx 1 month. All water levels OK. Introduced small live rock two days ago with existing live rock. All else looks well. The tang is showing fading around the head area and she is losing her brilliance...

Speaking of the Skilter 250, I am using it with a 55 gal and it's doing a great job. Any suggestions if I should upgrade? BTW only paid $70.00 for it.

Can anyone help me out on this subject. As I understand, ammonia is a toxic element in the tank and if I understand correctly, are you trying to produce it? If so, help me to understand why if it is to be none present. Just a question so that I can understand. I am learning so please be patient!

Just a newcomer and Thanks Flame for the info. It really helps to know that you guys are in it for others as well as yourselves. This adds confidence for those like me who rely on what's being stated. I agree, although there are exceptions to every rule, the rule is the safest standard on which...

I'm new into this and have a new tank with 1 yellow tang, 3 damsels and 3 crabs. I'm seeing purple algae on rocks. Is this good or bad? Also, there is a little light-green on another rock. Is this good or bad? If possible, would like a little run-down on good and bad algae so that I'll know what...
