LIke Lance said, there is no one way for success, different tanks require differenf solutions. I had a bad algae problem for years. we tried everything, new lights, less food, more frequent water changes, phosguard, other chemicals, I think once apon a time we were even boiling water. it was...

Lil guy is doing fine tonight, Ill try something a little different (for feeding) tomorrow. Although now that I think of it, he spends all his time at the surface. There is pleanty of habitat for him, hmmm Thanks Wade

I think you are probbly right, its most likely the swim bladder. He seemed to be doing better this morning, but I didnt get much of a chance to watch him, I was in from work and back out to college, Ill get a better chance to check him out tonight, and again tomorrow when I feed again. Thanks Wade

Heres one from the "My fish is swimming upside down" book I have a tomato clown that has been in a well established tank for atleast 2 months. His only other tank mates are a PJ cardinal, and a Coral banded shrimp, and a few craps for cleanup. Tonight I fed them, a small pinch of flakes...

Cant really offer any advice, since this is way out of my league, but it sure does sound like a dream tank!!!! Good luck!!!!

Not sure if the spotted cardinal and the pajama cardinal are the same thing or not. But I had a few of these guys, they were great.... Sure they werent fast movers, but I like the way they huddle (school) I had 3 of these in my 35. http://www.nano-reef.com/fish/?fish=2 They look nice with a...

How well established is your tank? (how old is it?) How much liverock do you have? Does she have any that will also need to go into your tank? The amount of live rock and subsequently coralline algae will determine how much of a bio load your tank can handle. As for the clown, you could try...

I like the pj cardinals pretty neat dosile fish!

YOu know ive considered something similar. When I build my house (Years away) why not just dig out another room while digging the basement. This "other room" could be sealed off and used as a HUGE tank!!!! Prolly just a dream and will most likely never happen.... But I always figured if I did...

You know,,,, its been a while, but I dont think I remember seeing any significant spikes when I was starting my tank. I started out with a few Damsels then in a month or so moved up to cardinals and never really had any trouble with the tank. Had to get rid of the damsels for tank bullying though.

HMMMMM That tank looks familiar!!!!!!! Thanks for watching it for me While Im Gone!!!!!

Semper,,,

YOure up aweful early!!!! I like the idea of posting a note on the wall of your LFS. or even checking your local malls, some sometimes they have a big ole tank that you might be able to talk them into taking your friend. Good Luck with it. Wade
