This is my tank. I am 14 years old and this has been my project over the last couple months. Ive had some problems: bad outbreak of ich (killed yellow eyed tang, two false percula tangs, bangai cardinal, and a lawnmower blenny. )

~1 catalina goby
~around 50 hermit crabs
~around 15 margarits snails
~xenia
~some tree thingy (if you know the name PLEASE tell me...i sound stupid

saying tree thingy)
~15 polyps of zooanthoids
~many mushrooms

just copy the photobucket, img code srry i cant look at them my cp is too slow to go throught 20 links.

have you done anything recent to the tank right before they died, like in the span of a couple days?

reefboy1994 · Dec 3, 2008

I dosed with some reef safe ich killer-stuff, then my mushrooms looked funny do I stopped, then theu got more ich. I went to the store and got a cleaner shrimp, but they didnt bother with him. the ich attack was about 3 weeks ago. now when a fish gets a spot, it goes straight to the shrimp and it is then perfectly clean! it cleaned my 2 chromis who were covered in ich in only a couple days.
maybe this link is better for the pics:

that one doesnt work either man, listen, the easiest way to do this is of the 4 links they give you when u scroll over one of the pics in your album, copy the 4th link, the one that says img, then paste it here, the pics will show up here no problem at all

I dunno what your budget is, but I got a used 48inch coralife aqualight pro for sale, only 6 months old..
2x250w MH, 2x96 PC ACT, 3x1w LED moonlights, 3 cooling fans, 2 ballasts.. $500 shipped within the continental USA... It's an $1100 fixture brand new.. I just don't need that much light on a FOWLR, that's why its for sale.
