Thanks for your suggestions, I'll look into the books next time at the store. The water is slowly getting better. Thanks again!

The water is looking clearer today. The ph is 8.4, amm. is 0.1, nitrate 10 ppm and nitrites 0 ppm. Going to continue light feedings and test again on Monday.

That was really good advice! I got the tank used from the pet store and the lava rocks came with it. I have no idea if they are effecting the ph nor have any idea how you would be able to tell. I've just been letting the guy's at the store walk me through it. They tell me which fish are...

I don't understand the terms that you use. That's probably a lot of my problem. Not enough education prior to jumping in! If the angel outgrows the tank, I'll get a bigger tank. By then hopefully I'll know what I'm doing. For filtration, I've got 2 aquaclear 300's. They've got a sponge looking...

The results from the guys at the fish store were amonia level low but boarder line. The nitrate level in the middle of the chart. They told me to do a 25% water change and not to feed the remaining fish for three to four days. They ordered me a gravel vacume that I can pick up tomorrow. they...

Thanks for the replies. The tang died last night. I've got a sample of the water being tested right now down at the local fish store right now. I tested it recently and the amonnia was low but the nitrates were in the middle of the chart. I have a 55 gallon tank. The salt is fine. Ive had the...

I have a yellow tang that had the markings of head and lateral line erosion. The markings cleared up but now she's laying on the bottem of the tank clinging to life. I tested the water in the tank and it tested ok. Over night the water became very cloudy and I don't know why. Any suggestions? Thanks

Thanks, I'll do that!

I have a yellow tang that had head and lateral live erosion. The markings have cleared up but now she's floating on her side and clinging to life. I've made new water and sepperated her from the tank that tested ok but is cloudy. Something that just appeared overnight. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the responses. I'd not heard of carbon filters or a skimmer before. Going for a 25% water change now then off to the fish store! Thanks again!!

Started a 55 gal. saltwater tank 3 months ago. Everything was great 'till about two weeks ago. Started developing cloudy water.Had an underground filter as well as an aqua clear 300. I changed 1/4 of the water for the first time. Still had cloudy water. Was advised to get the underground system...
