    Help My silicone is dying

    Hmmm I wonder could this be causing it. A few weeks ago my floor and stand got wet. Maybe it became uneven and causing too much pressure on the front glass..... Time to shim

    Help My silicone is dying

    Was doing a water change on this aqueon 55 gallon I have had up and running 9 years. Never moved it from the spot it's in. It's on a full stand and leveled since day 1. Today after the 20% water change, I noticed real small air bubbles in the right seam. From the top to the middle are these...

    Clownfish Gone Mad?

    I take it you didn't read the whole post. The clowns were 6 years old. And no chart will tell you how aggressive they will be come against a certain coral lol. It didn't bother any other fish or coral. Turns out the clowns knew the duncan corals were being fed mysis shrimp so in turn they...

    Amphipod Problem!

    Very true. I already know the pains involved in removing fish. I had to relocate 4 green chromis once in a tank full of caves and trust me that was NO fun lol. Right now the tank is empty (had to remove some killer clownfish) I know I want a diamond goby and a clown goby for sure. I wanted a...

    Clownfish Gone Mad?

    Not this time. I mean I had them for so long and they spawned so many times over the years. I don't know what happened, they just got crazy one day and decided to kill anything in the aquarium. As a precaution I even moved every coral over to the right side of the aquarium far away from them and...

    Clownfish Gone Mad?

    Welp removed the Clowns as I couldn't take it anymore. Bought a cute watchman goby and they destroyed it for NO reason. This is a big tank so not sure why they were so mean all of a sudden as i have had them so long. Once removed it's like the corals were so happy. everyone is out now and...

    Clownfish Gone Mad?

    I re-scaped the WHOLE tank. and as soon as they see anything, they go straight for it in attack mode. And you would think the bigger female would start the madness but it's not. It's the little timid male and as soon as she sees him starting, she follows suit.

    Clownfish Gone Mad?

    So I have had the same clowns for 6 years. Lately it's like they have went nuts! No matter what I put in the tank they attack it to death. It started with some Duncans. They attacked it CONSTANTLY! Smashed their faces into it and started grabbing the tentacles and snatching them. The 9 headed...
