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...
