Hello everyone, A few days ago my jawfish died relatively suddenly. Tested parameters and everything looked okay. Now today all of my fish look as though they have bumps or flakes of skin on them. Especially my clown goby. Any suggestions on what's happening and how to fix it?

Only problem with that skimmer is that with my hood setup I have only about 2 inches to work with so I doubt it would/could fit. Any ideas for one that is HOB but outside the tank?

Well if that's the case with used skimmers than I'd best not mess with it, my knowledge of skimmers is little to none.

I kind of figured $100 and good would be tough. That said I'm wanting a skimmer as I plan to add more corals over time. All I have at the moment is some sort of tree coral. My concern is that I already may have maxed out my bio load capacity because let's just say I got kind of fish happy ha ha

Hey Guys! I haven't been on here in quite awhile but my 36gal project is almost done. As of now I have two clowns, two clown goby's, a jawfish, and six line wrasse. All have been doing great! But now the time has come to add a skimmer to the tank as my water clarity seems to retain alot of...

Hey guys over the last few days my yellow head jawfish has developed a sore of some sort on his side by the gill. Don't have the faintest idea what it is. His other side looks fine and he is just as active as normal. Here's some pictures.

I'd really of liked a Mandarin but I don't think it's feasible because I'm using a canister filter :(

I always was under the impression that mandarins were a little difficult to care for?

Well everybody I played it safe and only got a firefish and panda clown goby!

Yea ideally ill get a skimmer for my birthday in May. So I should be okay for the time being. My lfs is getting a new shipment of fish in today so we will see what all they got in.

Haha maybe it was a trick question! And okay I think I've settled on doing a firefish and maybe a couple blue chromis as per Beengirls suggestion. Just kind of concerned whether or not the bio load would be too much! I am however great at doing my weekly PWC since I'm running a cannister filter

I know it but I've seen a fair amount of folks with them in there tanks, what about a tang of some variety

Okay thanks I'm going to look into it, but I'm now looking at a Flame Angel

Are they reef safe?

Yea I can't do any puffers because of tank size and I do have some inverts already, and yea I've been toying around with the Chromis but I dunno about them. I've read that they do best in groups of three so that might be pushing the capacity of my tank. Also in relation to the firefish when you...

I agree that the angel may be a bad idea indeed. I just would really like some more color and activity in the tank. The clowns I have are my favorite and they swim and dance all throughout the water column. Just don't know anything else that would be like that. What do you know about the...

I would definitely enjoy a skunk cleaner shrimp! That's a good idea but I'm still kinda thinking about fish. What's your opinion on getting a fish that I know will outgrow my tank, but when it's real small to start with? My lfs has some bicolor Angels for dirt cheap. If I got one it would be...

Hello all, I've had my 36 gallon tank set up since the tail end of January and have it relatively stocked how I envisioned it. That said I am now itching to add some other fish to it. My current stock list is as follows: two ocellaris clowns One yellow headed jawfish One yellow clown goby I...

Okay guys now almost a month after set up, I have gone through the cycle fine. About two weeks ago I introduced livestock. I now have two Clowns, a yellow clown goby, and a yellow headed jawfish. Don't plan on introducing any more for awhile. Parameters are great zero across the board. I...

Okay I don't think I'm going to get an overly large CUC, probably just four or five snails with a Cleaner shrimp. And I think I'm going with the marineland fixture. The reef capable with timer. It's a 36 gallon bowfront which is rather deep. That said I'm not getting into corals until I get a...

What would be a good/appropriate CUC for this set up? My final fish stock list will likely be: 2 clowns 1yellow head jawfish 2 clown gobies And maybe a filefish goby or something similar

Some LFS owners I'd wager you could trust. That said however I too am in the process of setting up my first SW tank. It's about week three and my cycle is complete so now I've got my clowns in. I however did start out with what I was told were "chromis" to help get the cycle started. Upon...

Whats your opinion on Orange Honey "Chromis"? My local lfs says that they are chromis not Damsels, would they interfere with any of the fish mentioned above? I keep finding contradictory information all over the place.

Okay thanks Mr X I will be looking around for a bit as I have o need for a light right now anyhow

I agree, I was at the lfs yesterday and they've got the marine land reef master LEDs. Kinda curious if you all have heard anything about them?
