Hi, I've had my 2 clown fishes for about 5 months now. I just notcied that one of them don't look so good. She just lying on the bottom and i noticed her tale fin is Deteriorating really badly..she has lost half of her tale and its gone kind white as well. The other clown fish seemed find. I...

Yeah i have moved my fish temp. Yeah there was def nitrite in my water:( who knows wat happened? is it a good idea to put sand on the bottom of my fish tank? apparently the fish store told me it will help with the alage problem? Thanks for all your help! really appreciate it heaps! :o

It doesn't seem to affect my fish at all. But then is it because i put ammo-lock in there, and thats why it hasn't affected the fish? My snails have moved totally out of the water and has been like that for like 6 hrs...is that normal? mayb cause the water is so bad? i've been doing 50% water...

I used salt water (which i purchased from the fish store) to clean out my filtration. I have no idea how the ammonia got there. I've had my 2 nemos and 2 turbo snails in there since jan 2004 and everything has been fine. Ever since i removed the algae i started noticing ammonia in the water. I...

if i stop using ammo-lock in my tank while i have ammonia present, wouldn't that harm the fish? I just cleaned out my filter, did a 60% water change (which the fish didn't like) and now the ammonia level is on 1.0. Before it was 1.5. How long does it usually take to get rid of the ammonia? I...

hi mike, should i get rid of the algae totally then? been changing the water twice a day and putting ammo-lock in the tank since i have ammonia present. Are turbo snails really sensitive? just worried that they might die. thank-you!

Also when i was cleaning the gravel i found 2 worms living in the gravel with heaps of tiny legs...would you guys know what it is? looks like a centipede?

Hi Mike, I took most of the algae out, however i left a bit in the tank. Yes i left the live rock in the tank which has a bit a algae growth on it. I don;'t have any sand in the tank. Should i remove the algae fully then? Or leave a little bit in? Cause i just did a water test and now there is...

Hi Mike, I change water once every week, i use salt water from which i buy from the fish shop. The thing is i have already ripped the algae out of the fish tank and only left a little bit in the tank. Would that cause my water to have high ammonia because i did that? I only have 2 nemos in my...

Hi, quick question. My tank is now full of green algae, to the point where i can't even see my nemos anymore. Since there was so many i removed the green algae from my fish tank and only left a little bit in there. Now will this cause the water to have high ammonia? or disrupt the water at any...

HI, I'm pretty sure my clown fish is pregnant, they have dug a little hole in the pebbles and they keep swimming around that area..like protecting it. The thing is, is there anything i can do to help the eggs hatch? My tank is pretty small, 26litres and i only have 2 clown fishes in there and...

Hi, I found the lawnmover blennies work wonders. thanks heap! nanci

Hi, My tank (26litre) has long green hair algae which seems to have stem from the live rock i have had from the beginning. It is getting out of control. Is there any way to combat this? I have 2 clown fish and 2 turbo snails both seem unphased by the growth. Both snails even have algae growing...

Hi Steve, Got a quick question. I purchased 2 turbos. I noticed that the 2 turbos are always stuck together. I have separeted them numerous time and they still end up being stuck together (one on top of the other) is that a problem or they just mating or something :?: Thanks :D Nanci

Just purchased a turbo and a trochus and they are working wonders :D Thanks for your help steve!
