Well I QT's the gramma and the other clown. Got rid of the ick...added them gramma and clown back to the main tank and noticed the gramma was pale...he died. This is getting annoying. The other clown and the firefish seem to be fine. If the clown died I may end up moving the firefish to the 10...

I was reading up on the "common spotted puffer" and noticed they get around 6-7''. Which is cool. He is now my favoritefish since my gramma died. I have had two SW fish die really fast....if this keeps up I am not sure what I am going to do. But the puffer is cool. I may get a couple mono's to...

I purchased one of these guys http://chunkypuff.net/speciesinfo.php?cat=3&id=nigroviridis recently and put him in my 29 gallon fresh. I have slowly been adding Instant Ocean to the tank. Still very low salinity levels. I would like to put him in my 10 gallon saltwater tank. According to that...

Gramma was the last fish to be added. Approx. 2 weeks ago. Good news is that the ick seems to be gone already. I am going to leave them in QT a few more days and keep treating. The firefish is fine. But he is freaked out because I had to move everything in the tank around to catch the gramma...

ahhh now the other clown and my gramma have ICK! I just went out and bought a 10 gallon and setup a QT tank. I hope they make it. Firefish is the only one that hasnt died or got sick....

He has been eating great. He was actually the oldest fish in the tank. Its been in the tank for around 2 months. It always eats great. Prior to that feeding he was up at the top swimming begging for food like normal. Then literally 20 min later he was on the bottom dieing. I still think he must...

That will not affect other fish besides clowns will it? Everybody else appears to be good. So I will just have to give it a few weeks and see what happens. Then I may replace him...well her.

Earlier today my clownfish were both fine. Today I was talking on the phone and fed my fish. There were some pretty big flakes in there also. Well I got off the phone and looked. I notice my oldest O. clown was lieing on the bottom gasping. He was getting pale. No ick spots or rotting but color...

Royal grammas are cool. I love mine. He is in a 38 gallon with a firefish and two O. clowns. They are all doing great.

Percula clowns, firefish, royal grammas, damsels (may be aggressive). You have quite a few options. You just can't add a ton of fish to it.

I have 2 percula clowns, 1 firefish, and 1 royal gramma in my 38 gallon. They are fine together. I added the gramma and one my clowns instantly went up and looked the gramma right in the eyes. Then the gramma opened up his mouth real wide and the clown took off. Firefish didn't even seem to...

I keep my tanks at 78-79 degrees with a SG of 1.024. Everything is fine. I think your just paranoid. I always am when I first start a new tank. I always put a damsel in first to make sure water is ok. Then I still get worried whenever I add a more expensive fish.

I would use RO or distilled water if all possible. I filled my tanks up then thought ahhh I wish I would have used RO water. I have had 0 problems with algea. So maybe I got lucky. Or maybe my city water is better than most places. I got lucky....but I would definetly use RO is possible...

I filled with tap and top off with distilled. With no algea problems. I would maybe try to get my fish from somewhere else and see how they do. You could possibly be buying sick fish. Also make sure you acclimate the fish right. I killed a couple damsels because I through them in to fast...

Did you get base rock from hirocks.com? do you have AIM? if so IM me at camarosportcoupe I will show you some pics of my tank

Your city water could be worse than mine. You never know exactly what is in it. If your house is older you could get lead, copper ect from the pipes. Who knows what we are actually drinking. I top off with distilled water from kroger. But I did my intially fill with tap.

I would keep it simple. You technically don't even need a skimmer for what your doing. What are you testing for? Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph or what? I say keep it simple. Set your fill it with tap, set salinity to 1.024, add a few lbs of LR, and make sure it is cycled right. I have...

I have had good luck with my setup. I filled mine up with tap water. Cycled with a damsel. Only have 5lbs of LR. Using filters.... Maybe I got lucky. I have 0 nitrates also. No algea at all. I must be magical.

Do they need a lot of LR to graze on? Or would I be ok feeding a flame angel prepared foods? This tank has been up for almost 2 months and there is 0 algea. I have been feeding the hermits seaweed select so they don't starve.

I have an 8lbs rock and a 4 pound rock in my 10 gallon that is about to get moved. That should give me a lot of rock. Its base but there is some liverock in the 38 gallon to seed it. How would a flame angels temperment be towards smaller peaceful fish?

Could I keep a dwarf flame angel with 2 O. clowns, a royal gramma, and a firefish in a 38 gallon? I know that would be pretty much fully stocked. But after I get the gramma I am going to keep an eye on the water. About the only other fish I really even want would be a flame angel. Think this...

There is three small fish and 5 blue leg hermits. That is it. That tank is a work in progress. It looks pretty good for what it is. I just wish it had sand in it.

Who?? Me? I am adding a royal gramma for sure. Not sure after that. Maybe one other small fish. I will just have to see how it goes.

You could probably do this with a spreadsheet on excel or something. I just keep a plan in a notebook.

Is it ok to keep them in a FOWLR tank? My mom really wants me to get a starfish of some kind. I thought about it. But I don't want something that could possible tear up LR or fish.
