Hello, my clownfish ate some algae that had a speck of crushed coral from the sandbed attached to it.. it was then hanging from his mouth for a while. I didn't know what to do so I tried to attract him with food to pull it off, but when he ate the food he also ate the piece of crushed coral...

Hello, I have a fish-only aquarium and I'm using the Nutrafin KH/GH kit. I ended up adding 25 drops to get to the final value, leaving me with 250mg/L for KH. I never tested KH before. I only have two clownfish. I use RO water, but I've been using SeaChem PH 8.3 for my replacement water...

Hi Everyone, yesterday my yellow wrasse failed to show up. I expected something is wrong so I tested the water and I had ammonia reading of 0.5 I swifted through the sand and found him.. he came out and hid behind a rock and stopped moving completely. He swam a tiny bit and wouldn't come out...

My Yellow wrasse hasn't had me around for 3 weeks.. Only been feeding it but not close to the tank. My desk is right next to the aquarium and ever since I started working again the wrasse has been going under the sand... Yesterday I vacuumed and it got really scared.. it has since been gone...

Hello, I've had my yellow wrasse for about a year.. recently (for about a two months actually) it had been getting angry at it's own reflection in the aquarium wall. It can clearly see itself and it turns and charges viciously at the glass. It also gets a black spot behind it's eye when it...

Hello, My Clownfish started fighting more and more violenty recently.. at first they didn't fight at all... then the 1st one in the tank started attacking the 2nd one when they saw me come by.. looks like it's attacking it so it won't get to the top where the food comes... Then this started...

Ever since I got my Lawnmower Blenny he has had cloudy eyes.. they don't look Black, they have a haze... Lately he has been acting strange.. he's gotten thinner.. he loses his color every now and then, then he gets back some color, then loses it again.. I seen him hit scratch against the...

My clownfish just froze twice in a row and started shaking, anybody ever seen this before? also he sometimes acts like he is hitting something but there s nothing in the way. Could this mean he might have been caught by cyanide? The store said he's from the ocean but not how he was caught.

My clownfish at first was sitting on the bottom, seemed depressed and his top fin was down. He barely ate any flake food and really started to like Brine Shrimp. In a few days his top fin went up an became really hyper during feeding. Now he is always at the top of the tank sticking his head...

I recently purchased some more live rock for my aquarium totallin 20lbs. I bought 8lbs from a different LFS and I think it was uncured but he said it was cured. I didn't know it at the time being a newbie ut the rocks had plenty of brown algae on them. Now the brown algae is spreading to...

Hello, I have a 29g tank and I really wanted a tang.. I didn't do my homework on this and got a clown tang, because that was the only one they had that was small. He's about an inch long.. the guy at the LFS said it's ok to keep him for a while in my 29g until he gets 3 times his size(I...

Hello, I have a 29G Aquarium established for about 3 weeks. It seems like i had a very tiny amount of amonia and then it's all zero. There is plenty of stuff growing on my live rocks now and tons of junk built between them, where as before they were completely clean. I want to put a damsel...

I just bought some LR from the LFS for my very first time :D I have NO idea if it's good or not, I tried to pick the ones with the most green on them.. which seemed to be right under the HOB filter.. here is a pic. It's probably hard to tell.. but does it look any good? And what do I have to...

Hello, what is the best way to wash rocks? I got some rocks that are really porous with many channels going down inside .. they have white powder on them.. is this mould? It pretty much looks like they are taken out of the ocean or somewhere.. I forgot the name of the rock.. I also got some...

the aquarium tank I got is built in such a way that the bottom of the aquarium is raised up.. the glass on the bottom isn't resting on the table... it's resting in the plastic frame that goes around the bottom. is this normal/ok?? All the pressure will be right on that glass.. when I add live...

Is it a good idea to put shells and rocks I collected from the ocean long time ago in my tank? They have been sitting for years out of the water.. Also I need 60lbs of live rock for my 30gal tank.. can I just get 10-20lbs of live rock and 40lbs of dead rock and wait until it comes alive...

I'm starting a 30 Gal Saltwater and I want to know if it's possible to use a filter system that I can turn off at night so I can get some sleep... Any recommendation of a setup that can do this? I'm going to have live rock for sure to help filtering, and some nitrate removing plants should...
