My Royal Gramma is really been going after my Pygmy Angelfish. Tank is not overcrowded, water parameters are fine. Any suggestions. He keeps nipping at his tail. Thanks.

30 gallon FO saltwater tank. All fish healthy, and all tests show everything is ok, but I have had a serious outbreak of a green algae the resides on top of the sand in my tank. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have a FISH ONLY 30 gallon SW Cube tank inhabited by (1) Coral Beauty and (2) Bangai Cardinal fish. The Coral Beauty has contracted a mild case of Ich, and I have begun copper treatment with SeaCure Copper treatment and monitoring levels daily. I have also increased the temp in my tank to...

First, if I have posted this in the wrong area I apologize . . . I have a well established 30 gallon SW cube tank - fish only. For quite some time, I have been struggling with algae - brown in color. On the average, I end up cleaning the inside glass every two to three weeks. However, I...

I received a very early Christmas present for my 30 gallon cube tank. I am getting a Eheim 2213 Filter to replace my Penguin BioWheel 170. I am hoping to see improved water quality and happier fish in the future. Anybody else have any experience with Ehiem filters? Thank you for your time.

Healthy fish, water tests are fine, but having a problem with what looks like brown algae all over my rocks and shells at the bottom. Have significantly reduced lights to about four hours a night. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Any advice on how to treat? My parameters in my tank are all fine. I have put the fish in a QT tank. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I recently purchased a Coral Beauty from my LFS and have a few questions: 1) I have read that it is not uncommon for fish to NOT feed right away as they are becoming acclimated to their new environment, but how long is too long before I become concerned? 2) I noticed a small thin white mark...

Well, my Hawkfish dove out of my 30 gallon fish only tank last night through an opening that would make Houdini sweat . . . I'm bummed . . . My tank is established. Water parameters have been excellent and consistent for the past several months. So, all that I have in my fish only tank is...

Anyone use MelaFix? I added a very small amount and now I have excessive minute air bubbles in my tank from my Protein Skimmer. This is not harming the fish, I was just wondering how long it takes before this goes back to normal. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Here's a question for the most experienced . . . . My LFS always tells me not to put their water in with mine when I bring home a new fish due to the fact that they use copper in their water. Now, I know that copper will kill my crab, but let say you had a FISH ONLY tank - what could be the...

I woke up this morning to find that my Mimic Yellow Peel Tang is missing a piece out of his tail. I am surprised, as I have never encountered any acts of aggression between any of my fish. My question is: Can fish regenerate pieces of their tail and fins? If so, is there anything that I can...

Well, After 3 months it seems that my Hawkfish had enough of my Cleaner Shrimp - taking both out in a period of two days. I find it interesting that the Hawkfish and the Shrimp could co-exist for an extended period of time with no problems and then all of the sudden - WHAM !!! Before anyone...

Can you have more than one Hawkfish in your tank? I currently have one Red Hawkfish, but just saw a Hawaiian Hawkfish that was rather cool looking. Thanks for your response.

My Koran Angel has one white speck on his tail fin, and one on his other fin. How do I know if this is ich? What is the recommendation for treatment? My water levels are perfect. I just tested them. Pretty frustrated over tryting to keep healthy fish. All of my other fish look fine. Any...

I have two Cleaner Shrimp in my 30 gallon tank. I have two questions: 1) One of the Shrimp (larger) is missing the top 70% of one of his feelers/antenna. Do Shrimp have the capability of regenerating/regrowing portions of their appendages? ( The Shrimp, by the way, is in good health) 2)...

I am considering adding some live rock to my established 30 gallon tank that is currently fish only with Biosand. Any suggestions how to go about doing this? Thanks for your support.

So after several months and a few bad experiences, my salt water tank is finally doing well. I do have one subject that I would like some input on however - water. My current set up is as follows: 30 gallon Oceanic Systems fish only tank with Biosand. I have (1) Koran Angel, (1) Red Flame...

I have two Cleaner Shrimp in my 30g Saltwater tank. They have been there for almost two months, both have molted at least once, and seem to be very healthy and active. I noticed the other day that both shrimp have a few small black patches that appear on their body. They do not seem...

My Blue Tang seems to be rubbing against the Rocks in my tank. All of my other fish seem to be fine. Is something wrong? What do you suggest that I do? Thank you for your time in advance. 8O

I have one Coral Beauty in a 30 gallon tank that had an eye injury. I have treated the fish with trycycleyne and the fishes condition has improved. However, my water is deep clear red. During the medication process, I removed the carbon filter as directed. Now that I have completed this...

I need help. I have a 30 gallon established tank with two damsels and one Coral Beauty. The other day I noticed that my Coral Beauty had one bulging eye with a small white patch on it. I am assuming that this is Popeye. I also have a protein skimmer that injects small air bubbles back into...

I have an established 30 gal Oceanic Systems Cube Tank with a Bio Wheel 170 filter and a SeaClone SCPS 100 Protein Skimmer. Here's my question. Everything is set up correctly and functional, however, I am getting large amounts of small bubbles coming back into the tank as soon as I introduce...

My Salt Water Tank is a disaster . . . 30 gallon tank with BioSand which had 5 healthy fish for two months, then they started to die quickly. Had water tested and retested - fine. I am now down to my last fish - a marginated damsel. He is still eating, but he looks like he has "velvet" all...

I have had the fish in the tank for a couple of days. He seems healthy and happy - no signs of aggression. His tank mates are one Clownfish and one Damsel. I have been feeding flake food to both the Clownfish and the Damsel, but have had little success with the Cardinal Fish. I have started...
