Hello, I've had a purple tang for about a week and a half. It has been in quarantine and I noticed ick almost right away so I dropped the salinity to 1.009. Tang was fine for a week and a half and was eating like a pig. The ick was completely gone last night and the tang ate a bunch of nori...

Hey all, I've had my dogface puffer for about 8 months. Eats like a puffer pretty much everything I put in there. I had a problem with hair algae but I cleared that up when my chaeto started growing and a few water changes. Ever since then the puffer has been attacking its own reflection...

Hey guys, I'm hoping this is just a diatom bloom but since there's so much of it i wanted a second opinion.. This tank was without fish for about 2.5 months while I treated for ich. The salinity got a little high but the circulation and temp stayed up. The light was off the whole time. I...

Hello all, I got a new flame angel, has been in quarantine since last Friday. The fish looks healthy, even eating right out of my hand! :D Thing I noticed is that on its fins on the side I can see what looks to be big spots. I've seen ich before and this doesn't look like it but it is so...

Hey everybody, I have a 135G and ~60G sump. BM150 Pro as the skimmer and chaeto 'farm'... well it will be a farm soon :D Right now I have a dogface puffer and domino damsel that are just about ready to be moved back into the main tank after treating with hypo for ich. Anyway, this is...

Hey all, I have had my puffer/damsel in hypo (1.008-1.009) for 6 and a half weeks. I just started increasing the salinity and noticed that the puffer was doing some flashing (he wasn't at all during hypo.) I thought it might have been the changes in the water so I didn't worry so much...

Hey, I just noticed this little marking on my puffer, not sure what it is. There is a pretty aggresive domino damsel in there with him, could this be a bite?? I have them in a quarantine tank with hyposalinity to treat for ich. They've been in there for about 5 weeks without any issue. Tank...

Hello, There is a good possibility that I will be starting a new job soon that requires 75% travel. I'm looking forward to the job but had a few questions on maintaining my tank. I have a 135G FOWLR with a Dogface Puffer and a Domino Damsel right now. Next I will be putting either a Emporer...

Title got your attention didn't it? :rolleyes: Anyway, I mostly feed my DFP mysis shrimp, and I noticed that when he "does his business" it looks like there are actually full shrimp sitting on the bottom of the tank. I only feed him what he will eat so it wouldn't be extra from feeding. I...

Hello, I'm currently treating my dogface puffer in a HT for ich with hyposalinity. I had him in a 35 gallon that sprung a leak due to the stand, so I quickly went out and bought a 30 gallon with a proper stand and moved him over. I cleaned the new tank out with vinegar and then rinsed out...

Hey everybody, Currently I have ich in my tank as well as a mild/moderate case of cyano. Right now I have my puffer in the hospital tank and I'm almost at hyposalinity. I still have to catch 2 damsels and a goby who seem to be very aware that I'm trying to catch them :(. Its a 135G with 200lbs...

Hey just noticed this growing on my live rock. Sorry about the quality I need a better camera.. It looks like little green sticks with green "platforms" at the top... best way I can describe it.

Hello, moving my tank off of the floor and onto my kitchen counter (hopfefully.) It's a 30 gallon which is 350 lbs full. The tank will not be completely full, maybe up to about 4-5" from the top. Also there will be no subtrate just a couple pieces of PVC and 1 small piece of live rock. Here...

So my dogface puffer has ich.... he had it a while ago but I did the whole denial thing and hoped it would go away... it did but came back and I want to get rid of it for good. I'm going to do hyposalinity in a hospital tank, which leads to my question. I have 2 domino damsels, a dogface...

I just noticed some air bubbles on some of my live rock, does anybody know if this is a good or a bad thing or it doesn't matter?

Just brought this home from the LFS, sold as a blueface angel. I thought in the store it looked like pictures of small blueface's I've seen but when I got home I noticed that it looks a lot like a queen angel too. I've read that they are hard to tell apart when they are small but what do you...

Hello, Are there any issues with running the refugium light at the same time as the DT? I have my refugium under my DT on a metal stand and am having issues controlling the light escaping while the fish are trying to sleep. I was going to have the refugium light come on about 4 hours...

Hello everyone, I have a 135G tank with a metal stand. The sump is sitting on the bottom of the stand, so it is off the ground. I am wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to cover this up? My idea was to get some industrial type velcro to the frame of the stand, and then attach some kind...

Hello everybody, Lately I have noticed that when my dogface puffer goes down to his favorite sleeping spot he seems to change colour to the point where he is almost all white. Is this normal and he is just trying to blend into his surroundings? As soon as he feels like coming out he's still...

Hello, So I had my DFP in quarantine for about 2 weeks, and finally caught a damsel I've been trying to get rid of last night. I was having issues controlling the ammonia in the quarantine tank (I don't think I seeded the sponge filter long enough) so I put the DFP in the display tank. He...

OK so this is like my third attempt at picking a final list haha but here it goes! I have a 135G display with about 175lbs of live rock and a ~50G sump which has a skimmer and soon to have chaeto. I currently have this in my display tank: 3 domino damsels 1 blue dot goby I also have a...

Hey, I have a FOWLR and was wondering if I could have multiple light cycles per day. Kinda like 2 mini days. For example I'd have 2 of my lights come on at 6:30am and then the other 2 come on at 7:00am until 9:30am (when I'm going to work) then the 2 that came on at 6:30am would stay on for...

Hello everybody, Setting up a 135 with a 60 gallon sump/refuge. I'm wondering if this combination would work in this size of tank: Picasso Trigger Miniatus Grouper (if this is too big a spotted grouper could take its place I suppose) Dogface Puffer Large Angel like an Emporer or Queen...
