This thing has been giving me a fit. I finally had it steady at -250, then two days later it goes to -475 or the other extreme at -94 etc. This thing is driving me nuts!!! Any advice?? I have been running this on my tank for about 3 weeks now. The guy at the fish store had run it on his...

Hello I have a puffer and a few days after I introduced him to my tank, I had to do a fresh water dip. He didn't seem to be stressed about it at all. I have been told that the gold Band Butterfly fish will eat all those bad things on the live rock. I have live rock and have not had a...

Thanks for your reply. They were together peacefully until I added the puffer, tube worm, and star fish. Then he became aggressive. I had him since he was little, and have been enjoying watching him grow. But all of a sudden, he just snapped. I took him back to the fish store. They had all...

Hello. My butterfly was missing chunks out of his tail, so I did a spy on the fish and my foxface went crazy. He was attacking my other fish. Before I could find out which fish was being the agressor, he had already killed my Lyretail anthias. :-( Why did he go crazy all of a sudden??

Well, the coral I am referring to... is not live coral. It's dried coral that looks and feel like rock. I do have live rock, which I have had since I started the tank. I will try to find some pics of what I have. The only thing wrong with my water is the carbonate hardness. I have had it...

Would the hard corals I put in the tank cause my carbonate hardness to keep dropping. I check it last Thursday before I went out of town, and made sure it was up to 11, and Sunday when I got home, it was down to 7. What would cause this to happen. I have been keeping a close eye on this, but...

I have a liartail anthias, and I feed him brine. Same thing he has been fed at the fish place. He is absolutely beautiful. The funny thing is, when I feed the fish the brine, he will eat it, then spit it out. When I feed my foxface his dried algae, the Anthias will eat it up like candy. He...

Hi Did he use any type of cleaning agents when he cleaned the filters? You could have gotten something foreign in the water. My fish acted like that when we got some chemical into the water. Sad to say, but we lost 1 blue hippo tang, 1 blue eyed mimic tang, 1 naso tang, and 2 clowns. I hope...

Hi Ok. I hope all your critters are doing better. Thanks for responding back. I am still trying to build up the rock in my tank, so I thought it couldn't hurt to ask if you were gonna throw them out. No need to waste something you can get some money for. :D You have a good day!

Hi You shouldn't have to dispose of your rocks and things. However, if you do want to dispose of your rocks, I will pay for shipping if you want to sell them really cheap to me. Let me know. Hope things get better.

Hello You might want to read my two previous posts about "Sick fish, 2 dead in 2 days". It sounds like the same problem I had. I would do a water change.

Hi. The last time one of my fish got a bubble, the amonia level was high. Waaaay to high. Be sure to check the water. Other than that, good luck!

Snails will help with the algae problem, and they are cheap! The are only 1.99 each here where I live.

Just wanted to let ya know, I lost a total of 5 fish in a week. All had the same symptoms, see my previous post for all the information on that. Went and had my water tested for nitrite, nitrate, amonia, water hardness etc. and everything was perfect. We came to the conclusion that the only...

Thanks for responding. I was feeding them brine and algae. the algae comes in sheets. They were eating both. thanks.
