My poor dogface puffer has been sick for about 3 weeks. Not sure what it is, have been following the local aquarium store's advice but he is just wasting away, hasn't eaten in probably 2 weeks. He has these white pimple like bumps all over his back. They said it was stress related, not a...

I have a 150gal tank with 150lbs of LR, a 2 year old dogface puffer, a recently acquired Lunar Wrasse and Miniatus Grouper. I just introduced a Blue Jaw Trigger yesterday and wanted to ask if anyone had opinions on the compatibility of these guys. Nobody has even acknowledged the trigger's...

I have a 150gal tank with a dogface puffer, a lunar wrasse, a miniatus grouper and a blue jaw trigger. I am writing about my puffer. For some weeks now he has has these little tiny white dots on his fins and his eyes have been somewhat milky looking with what could possibly be dots on them as...

I have a 2yr old Dogface Puffer. Today I watched him diving into the liverock, biting it, over and over and over. I have never witnessed him doing this before and wondered if anyone can explain this behavior. It made me wonder if he is trying to trim down his beak? I read something...

Over the past 4-5 weeks, my freshwater tank population has been cut almost in half. I bought some new fish at my LFS and didn't QT. A few days later, 3 of the new barbs were dead. Since then we have been losing fish here and there for no apparent reason. No physical signs of disease, all...

All of a sudden today, there is all this stuff blowing around in my new tank. It's milky white and as thin as cellophane, in little pieces the size of guppy... it came out of nowhere and if I had to guess there is like 50 pieces or so. This is a 150g tank with a dogface puffer, a lionfish...

We just bought a 150gal tank to move up to. We had a Lionfish, Dogface Puffer, and Panther Grouper that are all about 2 years old. The Grouper has been ill for some time and finally expired today, just as we were ready to move them into the new tank :sigh: Now we have the Lionfish and Dogface...

75gal tank, 150lb liverock, 1 dogface puffer, 1 volitan lion fish, 1 panther grouper (all about 18mos old). Around Apr 3rd, I was out of town and my fiance cleaned the tank and the filters, and apparently he cleaned the filter cartridges on our emperor TOO well, and cleaned off all the good...

http://www.barbsphotos.com/Puffer1.jpg http://www.barbsphotos.com/Puffer2.jpg I noticed that my puffer is looking kind of chalky. Don't know best how to describe it, but he has a hazy milky colored appearance. He's always had it in a slight way, I assumed part of his coloring, but it seems...

We just moved our 55gal SW inhabitants into a larger tank and now I have the old tank siphoned down to about 6inches of water, and plan to give it a major cleaning before deciding what to move into it. I am wondering, if I decide to do another SW tank, should I get fresh wheels and start over...

I am having a problem with brown algae in one of my tanks. It has been accumulating for about 2 months now, and I've asked at my LFS about it and all they ever say is "Oh dreaded brown algae, almost impossible to get rid of". It is clinging to all my fake plants, decorations, and back panel...

My fiance took our biowheel out and cleaned it and the blue filter pad which was caked with grossness. We have a lot of algae in our tank and haven't really been sure what to do about it. Anyway, now an hour later he is driving me completely crazy, saying that he is itching all over and...

I have a 55gal with 3 fish, they are about 1 1/2 yrs old. Volitan Lion Fish, Dogface Puffer and Panther Grouper. We got the tank (bought from someone about a month ago, bought the water/rock/substrate/filters etc so I don't think that caused any problems) and the fish have been doing well...

I woke up today to find my a huge puddle on my hardwood floor :( My Prism's collection cup was full of water and dripping behind the stand. We just spent the last 2 hours siphoning out all the water in buckets, sliding the tank away from the wall and have a hair dryer blowing on the floor as...

I bought a system from someone on ebay, a 55gal tank and everything in it, which included a volition lionfish, dogface puffer and panther grouper. It was delivered on Sunday and the lionfish has never eaten for me, and I'm getting worried. I'm feeding frozen krill, I put it in a cup and scoop...

I just went to feed my damsels, and at the bottom of my 55gal tank on the outside there is a bunch of damp salt stuck to the glass and going down in the crack between the glass and the lip of my stand. I immediately panicked and thought I had a leak, but I can't see any evidence of it, the wood...

I have a couple FW tanks but am starting my 1st SW tank. I have a 75 gal tank, started with tap water and used a dechlorinator. I have a mix of 30lbs of crushed coral and 30lbs of gravel on the bottom, a red sea protein skimmer and a biowheel emperor. I added an air pump and a big bubble bar...

We have been wanting to try our hand at a Saltwater tank. I have an extra used 75 gallon tank that I got at a great price on Ebay a few months ago, so we went to our aquarium store and bought a Bio-Wheel and Protein Skimmer and just added salt to tonight. We were planning on doing a fishless...

I have been worrying about my mollies for a couple days and wanted some opinions. I have 2 tanks and had them split up with 1m/2f in each tank. We decided to put them all in 1 tank, but the males immediately started fighting and seemed to be hurting each other (scales were becoming discolored...
