If he comes out tonight maybe I can set up a small tank and sell him tomorrow but otherwise he's toast

Unfortunately It was too late for my female but my male is still hanging in there I think if he pulls through tonight he should make it also I had another loss.... My three stipe was sitting next to a piece of live rock as I was watching the clowns and a mantis shrimp popped out of rock and got...

I ran to the Lfs after work and they gave me a bitter of para guard they said to food the dosing instructions and add it directly to the tank they said it would be more forgiving than copper... Does this sound right?

Thanks all for the responses... i think i found my solution, see i went a little longer than i would have liked on my water change this month do to my dog broke his leg and had to have surgery and everything else that could make me go broke in july happened... so my water change was about 15...

You think so I worry quite often about my fish its the first year I've been an educated fish owner. And I'm terrified that something can lose its life to my ignorance... It seems like the male is floating at the top vertically and the female will not leave that spot on the sand bed she was...

I have two perculas in my 29 lately after my most recent water change they have been acting really sure not sure if its normal or if they are sick my water perams are fine I just have no idea... I have noticed that I have an unwanted visitor (mantis shrimp) but he must have come with the live...

well thats an easy fix i guess.... water changes and time can take care of that... maybe scaling back on my feeding(i feel as if i feed quite graciously) but aside from that would my equipment be right for a low light mushroom

Im not sure i did the dead shrimp cycle for a little over a month then added bio spira all my levels spiked and went to 0 and stayed for a while i added biospira and then added a my live stock slowly after that and this has now been several months. Although one thing i should menton is that i...

so i just recently did a water test and the results i had were nitrates were at 10, nitrates were at 1.5, ph was 8.0 and ammonia was at 0.... I do believe it is time for a water change relatively soon as i have a few hermit crabs and i know they need the nitrate and nitrites a little lower my...

check out moss balls those are pretty cool

I tried it with a ghost shrimp and a rams horn snail... I didn't end up well for me but I would say if your on top of your water changes and looking out for your amonia you should be fine just be careful not to over feed, Also I would just make sure that the water temperature is good

yea i have been contemplating taking her back from sometime but i was kind of hoping that she would just chill out after i finished adding rock... I think i may just go with 10 more lbs of live rock and then 15 or 20 lbs of dry rock to curve the 2nd cycling issue. I have always liked the lawn...

Okay so i have two questions... 1st im 100 percent comfortable with adding more live stock to my 29gal, this morning i had a scare because my chromis had died and my salinity was higher than i expected... i took a sample of water to my lfs and every thing was perfect and reading 0 except formy...

So 1.024 is a good salinity to keep it at? Thanks for the advice

I was always told to go lower but thats great it always seemed odd to me that it needed to be so low... so 1.024 is alright for fowlr at the moment the change in salinity wont hurt the fish?

I fed my fish and checked my salinity... its a bit high from what i know at 1.24 gotta add some fw

I checked my salinity on my 29 tonight after i fed it and it was a bit on the high side. I try keeping my salinity between 1.021 and 1.022.. well tonight i noticed it is between 1.23 and 1.24. And unfourtunately i do not have any tap water treatment and all the stores around me are closed at the...

thanks for all the replies and i plan on getting a bigger piece of rock here soon along with more rocks periodically

I have a 29 gallon tank that i have been running for a little over two months now. i have 3 pieces of live rock in it for now, and a sand substrate. last sunday i added my first three inhabitants... (besides the inhabitants from the live rock and sand) to my tank first i added a 3 stripe damsel...

earlier i posted a problem i had with worms that seemed to suddenly appear in my tank someone responded it was detritus i looked that up as i had never heard of it before and saw that inverts would be a good fix for the problem. I also found some meds that fixed parasite infections.. so being in...
