The clown was placed in the reef tank, which is smaller, and is doing very well. Have no idea why she didn't like the breeder. Only the puffer and dottyback are still alive in there. Due to family illness, I will not get to add livestock to the breeder for a while. Then I will enjoy ideas...

The assessor is gone.:(

Yeah, I think you're right. Haven't seen the assessor in a couple of days, so I broke some of the smaller rocks apart. He swam out but just laid in front of the rock breathing heavily. While I did some other maintenance, he disappeared. He is halfway in one of the rocks, but his tail has...

Hello again everyone! Got a problem (as usual). Several weeks ago, I purchased two cinnamon clowns. Of course, one got bigger and changed color rapidly. The other stayed small and orange. Last night I noticed the big one chasing anything that moved, especially the little clown. This...

Apparently, I have to purchase the solution. I will take care of that. Thanks.

No, I didn't recalibrate it. Why would it suddenly do hat? I use it regularly and not even sure how to recalibrate. Oh, and yes, it's a digital.

I just toothbrushed some brown algae and cyano from the rocks and near the sand. Lots of floating garbage now. HOB filter quit. My husband will fix that when he gets home, I did all I know to do. I checked salinity and it was 1.024. But when I checked the pH with my Hanna Checker, it's...

New critters are here and in the tank. Ordered 8 bumblebee snails, 10 banded trochus and another fighting conch. Lights are currently off on the tank for another hour. I can see the conch, but it hasn't moved yet. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Ok. I went ahead and ordered more. Order will be here Wednesday morning. I am sure that was a one time thing. I will be especially careful during acclimation. Thanks. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Hey, has anyone ever had problems with LiveAquaria's shipments of inverts? I have lost nearly all I ordered. Of course they reimbursed me for all of it, but it seems strange. When I opened the bag of spiny star Astraeas, the smell almost knocked me down. Only one survived that and nine were...

Your tank is beautiful! Congratulations. What fish do you have in it?

Lost 5 asterea snails and one cerinth. Conch has not moved yet. LiveAquaria reimbursed me for all I lost so far.

They do look good. They're young, so not at full color but cute and active as they can be. Yeah, thought I'd give everything a chance to settle tonight. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Got two cinnamon clowns today, a brittle star and a bunch of snails. Clowns look good, brittle star is shaky, the fighting conch isn't fighting, and my Astraea star snails have mostly died. When I opened the bag, the water was milk colored and stunk to high heaven. Wonder what gave me the...

I'm worried about that Nem, too after what happened to the trigger. That button coral is beautiful. My reef tank is only 28g, so I haven't bought a coral in a year or so. And the four fish seem satisfied. When I send you your present, I'll have an excuse to move things around. Sent from...
