i am very interested, can you call me on my cell. 919-819-3820. My name is Brent Strike.

We are using the saltwater master test kit made by Aquarium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. I checked the box and it did not say if it was Nessler or Salicylate based. (Sorry, still a beginner!) Since our tank is still pretty new (about 3 months). It is a 125 gallon and the tangs get along great...

Our water parameters are: Nitrates: 0 Nitrites: 0 PH: 8.2 Ammonia: .25 The tangs, we also have a sailfin and a naso, are eating algae strips, fresh caulerpa from the lfs and mysis shrimp.

Yes, the part you circled. Like I said, the spots really dont show up in the photo. And that was the best picture out of the bunch. I apologize! There is really no resemblance to the second picture, except for the discoloration at the bottom of the fish. It looks like more of a...

Maybe the pic will show up this time??? Lets try this again!

regal tang pic Steve, This isnt a great pic, and its not really showing up properly, but it will give you an idea of the white spots on my regal tang. Thanks again for all of your help.

Its probably closest to the first pic, but the spots are more defined. And there is no sign of spotting on the face. Thanks Steve!

I tried to get a pic, but its just not showing up. Sorry! But the spot now appears to be spreading. There is now a larger white spot next to the old white spot. It looks like it taking over his belly. Its probably now best described as a splotchy white discoloration.

I have a blue regal tang with a white spot about the size of a small button. Small white spots have recently started to form around it. He is still eating fine. Could it be ick? :?:

thanks, i took him back to the pet store tonight.

I just bought an upside jellyfish for my reef tank. I was told at the lfs that he is reef safe and generally hardy. When I returned home, I looked on the internet and read that he is not reef safe. Does anyone know if I should release this guy into my tank?

I have a 125 gall tank. Is 100 lbs of rock ok and how much does 100 lbs of rock cover in the tank. I have seen fiji rock prices range from 2.75 per pound up to 6.99 per pound. What is the difference. And is it better to mix your own water or buy it from the store?

I noticed you only had 80 lbs. of rock. Does it fill the tank or would you recommend more?

Thank you so much! Everyone has been so helpful with such quick responses. Since I am just a beginner, its great to know that such good information is right here!

I am a beginner, so any advice that i would get is greatly appreciated. I have been looking at a wet / dry filter with protein skimmer. After going in several pet stores and getting different answers from all, i don't know whether to get the 150 or the 200? is this even the proper filter?
