Thanks! And yeah, I'm not going to put all those fish in my tank, but those are the ones I'm probably going to pick from. So, as long as I at least keep the sizes similar, I should be ok?

I know there is a compatibility chart on here, and they're all over the internet, but I'd prefer to find out from people who have experience... I was thinking about getting a picasso trigger for my 75 gal tank. The only thing I have right now as far as fish or inverts goes are 2 damsels that...

Thanks, and thanks for the advice! Its a green algae. Some of it is just "normal" green algae and some of it almost looks like what you'd see on a penny or copper outside. I'm hoping I can just siphon it off b/c I'd hate to go through the hastle of replacing some of it in my tank...

One side of the tank is just what I'd call a normal, green algae. Kind of "hairy" and wavy stuff. The other side is more lighter green... almost like what you'd see on an old penny. Does that make sense?

I was out of the country for about 3 months, and had a friend looking after my place, including my fish. I had given away my good fish so they wouldn't die, but I kept a few damsels and a blenny in the tank to keep some life in there. Well, I don't think my friend did a very good job, as the...

Well, I don't have a tank on my 2nd floor, but I have a pool table in the 3rd floor of my townhouse, and I've had no issues.... So, I'd say the tank should be just fine

Awesome, sounds really cool! I've seen them a couple times at fish stores, and have always been close to bringing one home! Sounds like a great addition, congrats!

Yeah, I know I should get a QT. I don't know my water parameters other than the temp and salinity. My LFS told me that all I needed to do was take in a water sample every once in awhile and they would test it for me. I did it like 2 weeks ago, around when I did a water change, and they told...

Thanks. I'm really surprised this is happening, and I feel so helpless not really being able to do anything. This is a very discouraging thing to have happen so early in my "aquarium career" if you will.... Makes me start to think I should have gotten a puppy instead...

I have a 75 gal tank with stand, lights, heater, HOB filter, approx. 50# LR, crushed coral, and a few other misc. supplies. I am thinking about selling it in order to buy a puppy that would be a little easier for me to care for. Is there anyone who might be interested in it? I'm not...

Hmm... sounds like that marine velvet might be what he has. I can't be positive though from reading the article. I don't have a QT tank. None of my other fish show any problems at all, just my tang. I think he's pretty close to dead right now, so I'm not sure there is anything I can do at...

There are 2 yellow-tail damsels and a algae blenny in there. Temp is 78, salinity is 1.023 (I think it was). The tank is about 4 months old. 75 gal FOWLR. 50 lbs of LR. Its a convict tang. When he's under the rock, his stripes get really light, but when I move the rock to get him swimming...

Now he's barely even breathing. I think he's dying, is there anything I can do? :(

My tang that I've had for like 3 weeks now, has decided to wedge himself under a "shelf" in my LR and pretty much stop moving. None of his fins nor his tail are moving. All he's doing is breathing. He will also go to another spot in my LR and sit there nose pointed up and against the LR...

I have no idea... its really weird though. I mean, I know there's not powder or anything like that on the fish, but thats just kind of the best way for me to describe the look.

Are they about the size of a pinhead?

Great, thanks!!! I've never seen that star around where I live though. If I had to, and I really don't want to, would liveaquaria.com be a good place to order it from? Any other suggestions?

Yeah, I've seen that one on liveaquaria.com and I've always thought it was really cool looking. How much LR would you say I'd need in my tank? I have about 50 lbs in there right now, but I do plan on starting to add more every now and then.

I should have mentioned that I don't have sand in my tank, I have crushed coral. Will this make a difference? The tank is about 3 or 4 months old now. I wasn't planning on getting a starfish for at least another month or two, maybe even longer, but I was bored at work today and started...

I have a 75 gal FOWLR. I don't plan on making it into a reef aquarium, at least not any time soon. Can I put a starfish in my tank? If I can, any suggestions as to what kind might work well? I'd also like to get a few shrimp, as well as a few crabs and snails, will the starfish be ok with...

My convict tang has been doing the same thing lately. I don't see any little white spots, but there are a few spots on him that look like he rubbed on my LR or something. They kind of look like what a butterfly looks like when you touch it and smudge the "powder" on them..... Any ideas?

Awesome, thanks!!! With the Seaweed selects, or any of those types of foods, is there any difference between red algae, green and brown?

What should I be feeding him? Can you give me a link so I know what I should get, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!!!
