my fish have Ich so on Tuesday i started using No-Ich, feeding fresh garlic and removed carbon from my filter... i've been following the directions and everything seems to be working and im continuing the recommended dosages as instructed... this is where i need the advice I am not sure wether...

well that odd I was actually getting info on a Tang which actually just led me to discover what i just discribed as Head and lateral line erosion, also known as HLLE, hole-in-the-head disease... hope this helps, now i need to read up on this myself

May be a parasite, I had a chromis that had some kind of flesh eating parasite ate a hole right thru him... it started with a small spot, then begin to get bigger till he looked like he was bitten... never was able to diagnose the issue

what is on this rock???? (updated pics) please tell me this isnt a bad thing....

I have had this lil hitch hiker for a while now growing on a rock, when the lights go out it at night it will extend its little tenticles, when it was smaller you could hardly see the tenticles just little bubble tips floating around it now that it has a lil more color and is big enough im am...

one of my Chromis seems to have a redish spot on it.. I have no idea what this is, if it is a disease or is sick what do i need to do?

Im looking into building a canopy for my 75gal SW tank and wondering if there are any good DIY websites anyone knows of?

Well as of now LRWF also some coral, I appreciate the advice

im purchasing a 75 gal tank soon, and wondering what i need to consider in making a good choice for lighting? Also i have 2 supreme skilter 250 filters, will i be able to use this filter for this size of a tank?

thats basically what i am i doing i guess, all my rock was cured when i bought it so i never delt with this before, i just started sw 3 months ago, tank was runnin great never even seen it cycle... just want to make sure i do this right..

Thanks chuck, thats basically what i did today i got a 30gal tank and put everthing in it, now i just need to wait... is there anything else i need to do and how long do you think this will take...?

ok so my 40 gal tank didnt explode but there is a nice big chunk of glass missing and sw all over my basement, i was at work when it happened so i have no clue how it happened... anyway in rush to save what was left i had put the live rock in a bucket of RO water which has been sitting for days...

thanks for that info mike... lol.. maybe i will give it too my wife's cat...jk

thanks pat.. just kinda wonderin if it could be somethin simple, the RO water isnt expensive just thought it would be easier than havein to go to the lfs... and while im trying to cycle my tank i just wanna research all my options..

when doing a PWC, the water you take out, can you reuse it by filtering it out? is it a long process of doing it this way?

Will it survive, I just started cycling the tank... here's what's in the tank: 50 gal tank (Not live) sand 20lbs base rock 12lbs live rock

Also this is a closeup, im really curious to know what this is, the rock is covered with it..

LR identification... I just purchased these rocks, i know lil about LR and just curious about whats is on them can anyone tell in these picks, good or bad or is it too early?

yeah thats what i kinda figured... thank you.... so basically i have to take the LFS word for it then... just hope they dont sell me crap

is there anyway to tell if you have LR?

In the process of getting my SW tank running im tryin gather as much info before i actually start, anyway so I got about 20lbs of rock(not live), and wondering if i can mix this with live rock? aslo will these rocks become live once again....?

Fishguy: hey one of LFS I checked out is selling their water at .50/gal, he said its stage 6 RO water they make themselves what's your take on that? Am I able to test the water to tell if its what he says it is and what's your suggestion for the water?

Everything that everyone is giving me is definatly helping, especialy yesterday i decided to check out a couple LFS found out who not to deal with...lol... but the best way for me is to read books, get info on here, and as well talk to the LFS...

Yeah I agree I don't wanna waste the money, I'm gonna to head up to boarders books and look for some books today.. thank u very much

I think I will look into that today... thank you Really I was thinkin about doin a reef tank but from what I have read so far those are a lil harder to get started... what I wanted to do and this was before I read a lil was to get a tank goin with a variety of aquatic life, so now think I will...
