Sun screen lotion threatens coral: study - Yahoo! News

Have 2 perc clowns for a few weeks. As normal the bigger one beat up on the smaller one but after a few days they seemed ok. Both were eating. Now the past few days the smaller one does not eat his fins look really ragged and he is thin as a rail. The other one is beautiful bright orange fat and...

Better check before you purchase I dont think all Gobys connect with Pistols

I have an orange spotted Goby and a Tiger Pistol. The pistol is constantly digging somehwere and if the goby is in the way he just plows the sand under him and the Goby just sits there moving up higher and higher. They are by far the funniest thing to watch in my tank. I highly recommend the combo.

If its just an aquascaping issue mine does that every so often, piling up too much sand in one area. I readjust the sand level how I want it again but only when it gets way outta control. My pistol has his main home a summer home, vacation home etc. I let him do what he wants for the most part...

I just found his claw. It was in his old home seperate from the molt which was on the other side of the tank where he now resides. What kind of test is there to make sure water chemistry is ok for proper molting? I am throwing on the usual "I am a newbie" disclaimer in case its is a dumb...

Cool thanks

They seemed to get a long for a while then the slightly bigger one started to twitch/convulse then grabbed the smaller clowns fin and pulled him around. Right before that there was a weird noise. It happened a couple of times. Normal?

My pistol just molted last night. I noticed he is missing his left claw and left antenea.....normal result of molting or did he have a fight with an emerald crab?

I only had my clowns about a week now and couldnt get them to eat. I tried all kinds of things Formula One & Two pellets and flakes, chopped Krill, etc. and no luck. Saturday I decided to make my own fish food from the recipe post on here and they go crazy for the stuff. Here is what I used...

My local Petco just went through a huge change. Remodeled and really upped the quality of care in their fish dept. it seems. Like everybody said there were always dead fish in the tank and unhealthy looking. Now they have a much more variety of livestock and healthier looking fish. Still leary...

My pistol does not mess with anything unless something goes into or falls into his hole. I have even seen snails crawl in and come back out later injury free.

THere is a place about 20 minutes away that had a sale on Premium Fiji for $3.99 lb/ I bought 30lbs and it is good stuff

"Rocket not really. The sand piles from this guy are just around the holes in the sand not in the LR. " Guess I misread that. Sometimes he will pile sand up in a cave and I will blow it back out with a PH but he is just gonna go where he wants to go now. I tried to make him take up residence...

Jeez just noticed I need to update my tank info

Sounds like a pistol shrimp. THere is a steep slope going into my pistols back door. I threw a couple krill in last night and watched the emerald crabs go crazy. One came running across the back of the tank fell down the slope into the hole. I heard a loud pop and he came running out with my...

I picked up 30 lbs of Fiji from LFS and got it took 9 rocks

I have seen a few on here before. How many make their own fish food? What are the benefits if any? Most importantly what are the ingredients? TIA

Yeah I just started the tank almost done cycling. Didnt want to add much just in case.

There seems to be a lot of poop and misc. debris on my sand from inverts, snails etc. Should I leave it or siphon in off when i make a water change?

For a quick fix why dont you do a small water change and just add RO water with out the salt mix

I swear I saw Big Al's up for sale on Ebay about a month ago

Ok thanks just guess I will wait it out and hopefully he ends up in a spot where I like. I see mine all the time. Every once in a while I will even see him just walking around the tank. I am going to get a Goby for him just waiting for my nitrate level to drop.

Had him about a week and man this guy can move some sand. He never stops digging which I thought was kinda cool and funny to watch. He dug out a home under 2 different areas of LR. Guess he needed a vacation home. But today I get home and he went for another area and filled up a cave I had set...

If you go topless use some eggcrate. I am a rookie but just put in some inverts friday and I think my Fire Shrimp already pulled a Houdini on me....he is MIA. Still looking under the couch, chairs, tables, rocks etc for him.......I hope its premature but RIP little buddy
