K thanks. I think I'm going to give it a shot.

I purchased a yellow tang and a flame angel about 5 weeks ago. I placed them both in a 10 gallon quarantine tank and 2 weeks after I got them I noticed the tang had ich, so I decided to treat with Cupramine. Tomorrow will be the 21st day of treatment which means I can start removing the...

I've had my melanaurus wrasse for about 4 years now and a few weeks ago I noticed that the belly was getting puffy. I thought maybe it was just eating too much or something. Two days ago I came home and noticed it laying on its side breathing. At first I thought I was dead, but when I got...

Wow it's amazing how the parents are able to keep all the other fish at bay. I once had convict fry, I don't remember if I left them in the tank with the other fish or removed them. I didn't have as many fish as you do though, otherwise I would be sure that I probably removed them. All I...

I picked it up from my grandmother's on Saturday night. Planning to take it to petland tonight but I figured I'd post it here first in case anyone is interested.

I opted to do only 30 gallons last thursday after I saw my xenia was being exposed to air. I'll do another 20 tonight. I've been physically removing the algae on a daily basis. The nitrates were at 15 before the water change but I haven't tested again. I've also been doing the vodka method and...

I'll do some research on the magnesium. I'll definitely cut down on the lights. thanks.

I live on long island and i lost power for 2 weeks during hurricane sandy. I lost a couple of frogspawn corals and about 70% of my xenia corals. the nitrates rose to about 40ppm. i've been doing weekly 20% water changes and physically been removing as much of the hair algae as possible. however...

Sorry, my computer gave me some issues and was unable to check this. I would definitely be interested in the blueprint, if you can. Thanks

Yeah i was thinking of the breeder net, but i'm not sure it will be successful as far as actually being able to feed the fry.

I noticed two nights ago that my clown fish, which have hosted one of my xenia corals, kept swimming on top of what i thought was just xenia coral that they kept on preventing from growing, since i saw the same thing a few month ago. Today i realized that they are eggs, i looked them up. I did...

With salt water I'm assuming.

I had this skeleton / rock in a fresh water tank for years, its been out and dry for about 6 months. I want to break it up or maybe keep it the way it is and put it inside my reef tank. It has some nice holes where I plan on putting frags in. Do I have to cycle it first? Would it throw off the...

Should I be putting the frag away from LR or should it be touching LR?

I got a hammer coral frag today. The guy told me that I can leave it on the white stone that it came attached to, or break it off and pinch it between two rocks. I opted for the second. Now I'm having second thoughts. What would be the best way to place it? I want it to have the best chance at...
