Thanks all. Maybe I'll give it a try.:)

Is it possible to keep a sleeper goby like the diamond goby with a shrimp goby (yellow watchman) in the same tank? (75 gallons)

Thanks, Mike. I did put a rock in between them, and the anemone has just come to a halt. So, so far so good. I'll keep an eye on him, for sure!

I recently upgraded my lights, and one of my bubble-tip anemones is wandering, looking for his favorite lighting I suppose. He is currently approaching my favorite pulsing xenia. Will he damage or kill it if they come in contact? Should I try to divert him elsewhere? Or is this even possible?

Such a nice story! Good luck getting your salt-water tank. PS Keep writing!!

Funny, Mike, I was thinking the same thing! He's Always been around with a definite second opinion!

Thanks so much Mike! Does anyone else have a thought about using the pimafix in the hospital tank @ 1.009? They've been in the hypo for 3 weeks now. I don't want the fungus to kill them before I can treat! :(

Thanks, as I said above, all my fishes are already in QT at the moment, in hypo treatment at SG 1.009. Will this have any effect on the usefulness of the pimafix? Will someplace like petco have pimafix?

I would say nothing like cauliflower. More like cotton, but not anything big. Cottony, but it also looks like maybe the cottony is leaving, leaving eroding flesh. Make sense? Oh no, another chromis has a bit near his eye! :(

I have one blue reef chromis which has developed a white fungus-looking patch on one side near his face. His tail fin is also a little shredded. He is currently in a 20 gallon hospital tank which is being treated for ich at sg 1.009. Also in the tank are 3 other healthy chromis, a 3 inch hippo...

I use the seaweed sheets from the local grocery store: sushi seaweed, normally sold in the seafood dept. I soak a folded up piece in Garlic Guard every other day and feed it on a clip. My tang goes wild, the others (particularly clowns) will peck at it. I also feed frozen mysis and "marine...

One link posted here by Melosu says to replace 1/5 (20%) of the volume with fresh water every 12 hours until the SG reaches 1.009, so that's what I'm doing. I will also watch the pH. Thanks! I have my fingers crossed!

???

the die is cast, more advice needed I just spent most of this afternoon catching and transferring my tang and two clowns into my QT. I have also lowered the SG from 1.022 to 1.020. It should go down to 1.009, am I correct? And how long does it stay there? PS to Tank: It's definitely not sand...

I just took my new hippo tang out of quarantine 3 weeks ago, where he did very well for 4 weeks after I purchased him. I had left the main tank fishless for 7 weeks after a bout of ich a couple of months ago. This morning, I see the dreaded white specks, and the tang is rubbing all over the sand...
