Hey guys I would appreciate help with IDing these two things. Especially the swiggley white stuff on the glass.

Hi there guys With the exception of what I think is a sick elegance coral the rest of my corals are doing really well. If you want to help me solve the mystery of the sick elegance coral I have a post in the sick coral forum. However this post is about a few other things...mainly nuisance...

Hey guys my elegance coral was doing great until about a week ago, it was all big and healthy looking. Now it is for the most part shriveled up and has this mucous on the fleshy part. The first time I noticed this I picked the coral up by the skeleton and shook off the mucous, grabbed the mucous...

Ok while I am waiting for the ich to cycle out of my display tank I wanted to toss out my ideas for stocking so I can get your feedback :). - Purple Firefish - 2 onyx clowns (mated pair hopefully) - Wrasse (Either a fairy wrasse or a harlequin tusk) I have read that harlequin tusk will not...

Alright I received my first few corals on Thursday, they are all doing well however this one ricordea mushroom which I placed on my LR got dragged into a hole within that LR by one of my crabs. I just tried getting it out with my finger and there was no luck the hole is just too small. I guess...

I am just curious, I know with fish you should only add a few at a time so as to not upset the balance of your tank. Does the same apply to corals? If so do you think this is too much to add at once? - Small Elegance Coral - Nano mushroom pack (from liveaquaria) - Nano polyp pack (from...

Hey guys I am looking to do the switch and I would like to be able to keep clams, SPS, LPS, and maybe some zoos in my tank. I have been reading conflicting opinions on whether T5 can cut it for SPS and clams based on where you place it in the tank - so I am kind of confused and would appreciate...

Hey guys, I ordered a beautiful Scott's Fairy Wrasse off liveaquaria's Diver's Den and it came today but it doesn't look like it is doing well at all. I acclimated him for an hour and a half - what struck me as bad about his packing is that there was a lot of feces in the bag with him. I am...

Hey guys, my tank has just finished its 2 month period without fish after the ich deal. While it was depressing to lose what I had, I would say I learned a few things from the experience such as not sticking two tangs (or any tangs for that matter) in a 55 gallon tank! So I am restocking, I...

Ok for my ich situation, I don't have the space or ability to toss all my livestock in another seperate QT tank for 8 weeks. I know people are going to say I need to do that, but I can't I live in a small apartment and I simply don't have space for it. So I was going to do hypo on my display...

Hey guys I woke up this morning and turned on my tank light and to my suprise (unpleasantly) just about every fish in my tank has white spots all over it. I have had these guys for at least a month now, most of them 3-6 months. So far they are still eating well, so maybe they will be able to...

Hey guys I just had a quick question, I was wondering if I place a sub dominant male Flame Wrasse in the tank will he portray dominant colors over time? Also second question I have a female Hawaiian Flame Wrasse in my tank right now will those two get along or will there be problems?

Hey guys I am looking for ideas to get some shades of red and/or green into my tank. I wasn't crazy about my flame angel which is why I gave him to my friend for his tank. Here is what I thought up of so far: - Exquisite wrasse (the one from fiji seems to be green) - Eightline wrasse (looks to...

I was just feeding my fish tonight and I noticed that my cleaner shrimp seems to have something on it's side which looks just like a blister. What is it, and is it a cause for alarm?

Hi guys I have been trying to get my tang and angel to take food from the seaweed clip. I do soak it in Garlic Xtreme before putting it in the tank, but it just ends up sitting there for hours with no one eating it. What other options do I have to give my tang and the other omnivores the greens...

Ok so I decided to try out the QT tank for my new fish...and I don't think it is doing them any good...I just tested the water and since I have added them yesterday the ammonia went up to 0.50 PPM! I am thinkin of taking them out and acclimating them to my main tank tonight and putting them in...

I got a 10 gal quarantine tank set up for my new fish which will be coming later this week, but I have a question. Drs. Foster & Smith's site implies that you should dose with a copper based medicine before any signs of illness occur is that the way to do it? Or should I just keep them in there...

I was wondering with Pimafix and Melafix it says to medicate for 7 days, do I need to do it for the full 7 days or if the symptons are gone half way through can I stop?

Hi guys I ordered some fish from Marine Depot Live and received them yesterday, I acclimated them for 2 hours using the drip method. After they were in the tank though I had to run to class so I didn't get a chance to give them a full look over. However, when I woke up this morning I went to go...

Hey guys I have been curing my live rock for 3 weeks come next friday, and I think I am going to add it to the display tank if the ammonia tests are at 0. I just had some questions for removing hitchhikers... I plan on dipping the rocks in very very salty water and hold them in there for 1...

Ok here is my plan for adding fish to my tank: - Mystery Wrasse - Scott's Fairy Wrasse - Yellow Candy Hogfish - Purple Tang I plan on getting the tang in a small size from marine depot, and from my understanding it will take a few years to grow to full adult size. By that time I will have a...

Looks like a form of algae, has the same color as something that is rusting. Any suggestions on which inverts I can get to get rid of this?

Can you guys name some cool yellow reef compatible fish that can survive in a 55 gallon tank well? Also on a side note, when adding corals is there a limit to how many you can place in at once? I am just curious because my LFS is very very overpriced when it comes to corals, liveaquaria has a...

I got 55 pounds of live rock going through some curing now, also got a Nova extreme 4 x 55 watt T5 flourescent lighting fixture on the way. Also I am taking my Koran angel back to the LFS tomorrow. He probably would have gotten too large for a 55 gallon tank and would definitely have nipped at...

To be able to put corals in without having to worry about whether or not it will be sufficient which lighting should I go with?
