Hi y'all
Haven't been on here for a bit, so its good to be back.
Ive had my 55 FOWLR set up for over 2 years now and at the end of 2012 I got a new job that was very demanding and the fact is I neglected my tank for a period of several months doing nothing but the bare min.
While I only had...
Wish I could have given you mine...for FREE!
I had a dottieback and the bastard was an absolute tyrant. I had to take him back to my LFS store.
He was doing nothing but terrorizing the fish in my DT...and to think I nurtured that little punk for 3 weeks in my QT....I also had to take EVERY...
Hoping for some pro tips on here.
I recently started using Purple Up because I introduced some coralline algea into my DT, which I love BTW, problem is I've been leaving my lights on longer to account for my good algae growth but the nasty brown algae is growing too.
questions - is it bad for...
Can anyone else offer their experience with dottiebacks? I would have to pull out tons of rock to get this fish out of my tank. I can't believe no one at the LFS said anything to me. This is extremely disappointing.
Are dottiebacks tyrants that can't live in a community tank?
I just introduced a purple Dottieback into my DT and my black chromis is losing his mind. Is there anything I can do? The new fish seems to be quite the tyrant. He certainly was in my QT.
Will the chromis get over it or what??
Regards.
Grizz or anyone else - are you talking PVC pipe from a hardware store?
You were absolutely right though -- I saw the dotti chasing the FF around today. I'm scared he is gonna stress my FF to DEATH.
Maybe someone in here can help. Yesterday I bought a purple dottieback and a firefish goby and they are both currently in my QT.
Well the dottiebock is doing fine but the firefish tail fin is fraying. what could be causing this? My water is good. He ate fine this evening when I fed them...
Hi Carey
I ordered a 750 pump today and I am expecting it to arrive on Friday. Thanks for the tips and I'll watch the ammonia.
I really want the coralline algae to spread -- what are your thoughts on Purple Up?
What are the risks with using it?
Thanks for the reply. My tank has been up in running for several months but my "live" rock didn't have any of the cool pink/red stuff growing on it and that is what I got.
My pump only has 1 place for a hose and that is pumping the water back into my tank after it goes through the wet/dry...
Another question. I just went and got some new live rock today and placed it all around my take on my other base rock. How many hours per day should the lights be on in the aquarium for optimal growth spreadage and how long should it be before it starts to spread to the other rocks?
thanks for the response and good info. I wanted to clarify something that I wasn't clear about in my OP.
My current SW tank has been setup for over 6 months w/ fish in it and tons of "dead" live rock. Should I clean that rock off? Or leave it and just start adding new live rock? I was...
Hi all -
I currently have a SW set up in a 55g tank and I was thinking about maybe switching it to LR and maybe doing some corals and such down the road and was hoping for some insight and advice from the community.

Lots and lots of Dead Rock - I use them...
Hello friends -
I was wondering what the community thought was a good level to keep copper at in a QT?
I like to keep my new fish in a QT for a week or so before I put them into my display tank and was wondering what was a good and safe level for copper to be at to kill any "bugs" my new fish...
Any thoughts on whether its ok or not to mix these two treatments in my QT?

I see lots of people viewed this thread and no one replied. Moving forward, was there something I left out? Was there not enough information? What can I do, moving forward, to be an active member of this community?

Hi.
I'm very new here to this forum but have been reading it for some time.
I have a 55gal saltwater aquarium that has been up for about 3 months now.
A few days ago I noticed a little white spot on the head of my chromis. Per the recommendation of my local pet store I treated the fish...
