OMG do I hear ya! I have sat on the floor in front of my fishless tank just looking at it and wondering WHY ME! WHY WHY WHY! I LOVE MY TANK, I bought it for my husband, but I take care of it, and I have fallen in love with it far beyond his attachment to it! I have just been through so many...

Kurt, you are just becoming my best friend!!! lol j/k I completely get what you are saying... deal is I want to get a new sump, through reading and such, I am realizing that the refugium sounds like the way to go. So, I have been trying to research the best ones out there. There is nothing...

I guess I am more stubborn than my anemones. I want them in certain places... and yes, I know they will go where they want, but I have been training mine LOL (like that works) But when they move, I just stick my little hand in there grab em, leave my hand on them softly until they attach to...

LOL no I don't shake them... but I KNOW the poor fish get scared to death when they see me walk in the store! So hence, the avatar.

Heyas to ya''ll Well, I guess I could have done this before I posted a couple of post, but oh well, I have never been one to do things in a natural order... kinda doesn't make me out to be a great aquarium keeper does it? BUT!!!! I am trying my hardest. For two reason. First of all, my...

Ya, I am trying... So, quarantine tank my new fish, but I am still not sure how to know how to get the sick tank well :( I can't put Copper in it and I am hoping that whatever the issue is doesn't eventually get to my fireshrimp... love them! Also, I have a lawnmower blenny (sp?)who seems to...

BUT lol.... I am so determined to get my tank to be the healthiest tank and the most beautiful tank EVER! LOL I do not know a complete total amount of knowledge... obviously from the first thread that I have on here... but while I am sitting and looking at my fishless tank over the next few...

no, they just soooooo quickly look like their skin starts pealing off. I mean, they do fine for like a day, but then after about a day and a half, they are all the sudden SICK AS ALL GET OUT! There is no inbetween stage. So, I have just been enjoying my corals the last week. What I am...

That is the problem though, i don't think it is ick, because it kills them within less than like 12 hours of looking sick. They show no signs of white dots on their fins or anything. Now, their fins will erode quickly, just as their skin does. I mean, you can literally see it floating off of...

Ya, this is a complete mystery to me. Hard part is also.... I have 300 lbs of live rock that I don't want to kill lol. I seem to be at a dead end. If you will scroll up to my first post, i have a link to a picture of my last fish that died with this last group I bought. I know it isn't a...

Well, at first when I got the tank, I just had the fish that had been living in it..... After I went out of town and had the issue, I only put two clown fish in there. I was thinking ick as well, but because I was so freaked out I was checking them like every hour lol. It seemed to just go...

API Saltwater Master Test Kit... but does not have a phosphate check in it... which for some reason I am a little suspicious about. When I have done water changes, I do it from Tap. I have a predrilled, bioballs in the side of the tank, I run a skimmer and clean the collection cup very well...

Alright, I bought a pre-established 120 gallon tank. I have about 300 lbs of live rock, and I have been adding coral as I go. All of the sudden while I was out of town, my fish got in real bad condition. I had my nanny watching out for them. Right before I left, I did a 50% water change...
