:cry: Ok I got interested in saltwater aquariums a little over a year ago and got one setup with Christmas money, its only a 30gal and all it has is live rock, sand bottom, and one fish. I got him (a yellow tailed damsel) to start out with, planning on sending him back to the LFS and getting...

I know that after an ich outbreak, the main tank should be empty of fish for 8+ weeks so the parasite completes its life cycle..or something like that....is this the general rule for all diseases?

I got a percula clown today and he seems to be swimming kind of funny....not really straight, but kind of tilted to one side or the other...also he is hanging out near the top of the tank and not looking really great-i added him today, so he has only been in the tank about 2 hours now...do you...

Ok, today I went up to the tank and there are these two brown, black and white striped worms sitting on the rock.

I'm not sure what they are...they look like little underwater lice or something, sort of transparent white with tiny black eyes and three long antannaes. Their bottom halves of their bodies curl under and thats how they walk around, sort of curled under like-looks like they can hold food in...

I was just wondering if any of you have ever bought saltwater fish from a large corporation type pet store that does not specialize in just SW fish or even in just fish...i.e. Petco or Petsmart?? I'm not planning on it, but when I was there today buying dog food I saw some perculas and damsels...

Ok guys, I've been hearing more and more about how important this is...the thing is, I don't have the money to set up a whole other tank besides my already existing one (no fish yet) just as a QT tank-I do have an empty , never been used 25 gal aquarium...but to make it a QT tank, I will need a...

I've been hearing a few different ideas...inches per gallon, inches per square foot...I have a 30 gallon tank...how many 'up to 4 inch' fish can I get?
