Had it for 3months only. :cry: it was so fat before but recently its so skinny. I think he's not getting enough nutrition. Why would it be so skinny? my tank doesnt have enough algae for it to eat?

how much light does the toadstool need?

Now my six line wrasse is dead, who is killing my fish. I have so far 2 cardinals, true perc, and a dragon goby left. and some corals, mushrooms, toadstool, frogspawn. Who would have killed it, i suspect its my perc.

i have added the cardinal one week ago, they seem to be eating like crazy. My water parameters are good except for nitrate which is at .20ppm but that should be good.

I think one of my fish is beating the crap out of them, they seem to be stress and broken fins. I have 2 remaining cardinal left but it might be my true perc or one of the cardinal that is the culprit, i seen them chasing after one of my other poor cardinals. Are these guys that aggressive? How...

but my eclipse 2 top will be a waste and i have need a skimmer

I have a tight budget and want to know how would i upgrade the light on my Eclipse 2 top. Im running 2-15w bulbs now in a 25gallon tank, one is white and the other one is blue. Does that mean its still 30w im running? Is there a link i can look at in how i can change my top. I heard about the...

my filtration system is not so good, its an Eclipse 2 to so its built in with a bio wheel. I think my crushed coral is a bit too think so im taking alot out lately so its really thin at the bottom so the waste will be gone.

My Nitrate was at .10ppm then a few days when i added some fishes and corals the nitrate went up to .30ppm I was shocked so i did a water 20%change every other day so far. I have a 25gallon tank but i think i have too many fish inside. I got a true percula, 5 cardinal, a dragon goby and a six...

I got this for my b-day last week. I have a 25gallon tank with an Eclipse 2 top running 2x15w. I know the lighting is low but my shrooms are doing well in there but im afraid that the frogspawn will not have enough lighting. My g/f ask the LFS if its enough lighting and they said it will be ok...

Its weird it was ok in the morning but when i got home from work it was already not really responding and was down on the sand. A few days ago it was really doing well then all of a sudden it died. I use iodine to feed the corals would that have any affect on the box fish?

i did take it out and put it into a spare tank, it died within the hour. So what kind of infection is it? how come my other fish dont have it?

:cry: Dont know whats wrong with it. Its been eating fine and swimming fine for a month now. My water parameters are good and my other fishes and corals are ok. It had some sort of skin problem on it. Its skin looks like its eating his flesh. I can see some red stuff on its back. What can it...
