Thanks for all the help everyone. Water parameters are as follows. Nitrates=0 Nitrites=0 PH 8.2-8.4 Ammonia=0 SG 1.025/1.026 Water Temp 76 degrees I will try and have some updated pictures a little later when he is swimming around more freely. The one side looks much better, and the other side...

Thats a fair point. I will try and get some better pics. I must have taken about 50 pics, all different ways, I see your point though. Is something eating away at its flesh? I mean, does anyone think it might be ich at this point? It is so hard for me to explain what it looks like.

Hi, thanks Beth. The spots right now are darker. I just looked, and it seems as if its right eye has a film over it too. It just doesnt look like any of the pics I have been able to find on the forums. Like I said its darker...was more of a white blotchy thing, but now its a little darker...

Well, I'll start off by saying ive been on here a long time and i usually do a lot more reading then I do posting, obviously. I am always appreciative of the help and knowledge of this site. Having said that. I recently moved a neglected tank....cleaned it up. New sand, 50% new water..cycled...

So, the tank has been going for 6 months now upgraded from a 29G to a 72 Bowfront and a couple of thousands of dollars later. Here is the equipment. Fluval 404, MaxiJet 1200 w/ AquaC Remora Skimmer, Hagen 70 Powerhead, Seio 820, Seio 620, And another powerhead I forget the brand rated at about...

I had some LR in my old tank, but going from a 29G to a 72 i added a lot of rock. I am absolutely amazed at how much color is on the rocks. There is pink and purple depending on the type of rock, its incredible. This new tank has only been set up since Aug. I do have a coralife 4x96 or...

thats possible, but there was a significant amount of algae, what should I be feeding them anyway? The snails and crabs.

salinty is 1.26/1.27...so thats not the problem, how big would a mantis shrimp be? the crbas from this site are very small...a few of them died in shipment, so its possible a few died from the new enviornment and shock or whatever...i found some larger hermits at *****, but i am reluctant to...

So, I would like to thank everyone who helped me get started....tank looks great. Needs some more rock though, which I will be adding. I got a little worried though, there was an algae outbreak, but the cleanup crew took care of that in a week and a half. I was amazed at the difference as I...

I just purchased the Remora C...very easy to clean..it sticks up above the tank and its a clear collection cup...although it square, you can also attach a hose to drian into a bucket or something...great skimmer, from reading everything though, go with the maxijet, not the rio.

I have about 70-75lbs of live rock.

I am going to buy a cleanup crew from here...went to lfs and one place wanted $3.50 per turbo snail. Sandbed is starting to show some growth, might be time to do a watrer change or clean the fliter. Here what i was thinking for 72 gallon bowfront. I also need to shoot a powerhead down on the...

Well, I have a 72g Bowfront...70-75lbs of rock. Current stock is yellow tailed damsel, clown and striped damsel they are all about 2" big and a 3" yellow tang. I will be adding a reef package of cleaners and etc and some LPS. What fish would some of you add if the tank was yours? I was...

At least many overpriced things have motors or something. I mean, this thing must cost $5 to build. Again though, I think it is a nice peice and I know I picked the right one. Yes, I bought the prefilter. My question was, How do i use it, where does it go and etc, i did some searches and it...

I just added my fish yesterday, upgraded from a 29 to a 72...tank is good to go 75lbs of rock and prob going to add about 10lb more, although mostly decorative. I will be adding some LPS in the next few months. Question is though, when should I add the cleanup crew? And any opinion on what I...

So, I unpack this thing and I swear i could have made it in 8th grade shop. Anyways, it does actually look pretty nice. However, their instructions arent very helpful...I bought the one with the drain, but nothing to drain into, ill fix that with some tubing though, not a big deal. However, I...

So, my tank is up and running and I had a question about the 4x65 light. Should the sunlight and actinic lighting be on at the same time, different periods or etc? Obviously I know when the moon lighting goes on. Also, when would you suggest I put in a cleaner crew. I wanted to wait another 2...

sorry to jack this thread, but if you have reefs can you still have a cleanup crew, if so what exactly?

Might the filter location be a prob? back behind the rocks?
