Flower and Meowzer. Thank you for your responses,but my wife has decided that my aquarium is a money pit and we,I,will be leaving the hobby I so love. Anyway,thank you all. Good luck in your pursuit of this wonderful hobby. Michael

Bang guy and Flower. Yes,I did have a green algae bloom and it is still blooming. I also am hesitant to add any inverts,because I have not had any luck with them,algae or not. I would love to get something really hardy to put in but I am afraid to kill it,with the way things are going. A 100...

Bang guy,thank you for responding. I do not have any inverts because they will not survive either. I have tried a couple of crabs and shrimp,but they only survive a week or two. I do not smell any sulfurous odors. I am at a loss. Any ideas ?

I have a problem that to me defies explanation. I have a 50 gallon corner unit with artificial decor,crushed coral and aragonite substrate. I have twin penguin power heads,a Aquael 4 stage filter,900 gph circulating pump UV sterilizer LED light strips. I use Chemi-pure,activated carbon,Purigen...

Thank you,Mr.Limpid. I lost the three I mentioned. The other two,comet and trigger are fine. No evidence of any malady. Thank you for imput. Wish I could have saved these guys.

I have a problem that has cost me three fish in three days. My yellow tang about 4" developed some red lining around it's lips. It died two days later. My tomato clown,about 2" developed some red splothches on it's pectoral fins and tail. It died a day later. Neither would eat after developing...

I just purchased a 3"-4" BTA. I placed it out front for my tomato clown to see and hopefully adopt. After acclimation the anemone moved to the heater and has wedged itself between the glass and heater. Is this okay ? Should I attempt to move it ? How long before the anemone would start to show...

Gemmy,thank you for responding. Why would either of these two be a mistake ? I want to add something-any ideas ?

I have a 50 gallon set-up with a 4" coral,sand and aragonite substrate,4 stage filer,2 penguin power heads(400 gallons per hour) a 500 gph circulating pump. I have a 2" tomato clown,a 4" yellow tang and a 2" coral beauty. I would like to add either a harlequin tusk fish or a marine betta. Which...

RicKross,I am not planning on adding any coral. I am using the power heads basically for flow and to aerate the substrate.

Rickross,I am sorry. I thought you were referring to air flow. I have 2 Penguin under gravel power heads that circulate 200gph. P

Rickross,I have 2 4" fans fastened via Velcro on the glass top. One pushing air in and one pushing air out.

Rickross,Good morning ! I have a 400 watt metal halide,2 blue actinic(24") and 2 sun lamp fluorescents(24") and a moonlight,blue and white LED's.I have a 12" space between the light fixture and the glass. I use the glass on top so that the salt spray does not ruin my canopy top.

Rickross,the anemone I was referring to is a quadricolor,not an Olaf whatever.

Rickross,I just read that you are the anemone man. Should I provide an anemone,maybe a quarto Olof for my tomato clown ? He kinda hangs around the top of the water and only comes out into the water column when feeding and if I come in the room.

Rickross,yes I have a glass top and a custom oak top(canopy) and matching bottom cabinet that house the filter,air pumps,power transformers,electrical circuit breaker surge protectors,tubing,etc. My filter has a built in UV light(9 watts) and the 4 stage filtration although I use 5 types of media.

Rickross,the dimensions of my tank are- 36"x18"x12"x24"(front)x12"x12". I know these are odd dimensions,but it a custom designed unit from California. It is 16" deep(top to bottom).

Thank you,Rickross! Maybe I should add something small. I was considering some banggai cardinals. Would these be okay? My filtration is a 4 stage Aqueon from Germany with a Prizm foam fractionator and undegravel filters with Penguin power heads. I do 25 percent water changes every week. I...

Rickross,my yellow tang is only 1 1/2 inches long. My clown is 2"'and my coral beauty is about 2". I realize the trigger will get very large,but I plan on setting up a 200 gallon set-up the first of 2013. Will my tank be okay in the interim?

I have a 50 gallon corner unit that includes a tomato clown,a coral beauty and a yellow tang. I would like to add a Niger trigger and an emerald serpent starfish. How likely an I to succeed in this addition ? Please advise as I would like to do this as soon as possible. Michael
