he died, there was a cone snail on his side, dont know if it killed him or was just having a feed

my snowflake is really sick, i think hes a goner. He ate two days ago and seemed fine. This morning he was swimming around poorly, like totally uncoordinated, then he lay on his side. He is still like that this afternoon and starting to look grey, his gills are still moving otherwise he looks...

mine eats every night,i just drop the food in the tank and he comes out to get it, he went without food for 6 weeks a while back which had me pretty stressed, but he came good again after a full water change on the tank

yes i have corralimorphs (differnet types) that are multiplying, leather toadstool, golf ball (still alive after 12 months) sponge(not doing so good) xenias(multiplying), button polyps(multipying) gorgonians, zooanthids(multiplying) plate coral, torch coral, brain corals, i also am really...

sorry for your loss

i have heaps of LR and only use my skimmer occasionally, E very one will tell you you need a skimmer but i personally dont agree, i used to run a skimmer all the time and my corals were dying, now they are multiplying all over the place. I think the wooden diffuser skimmer is a good start as...

i have a snowflake eel he is great, spends most of the day in his hole (make sure he has plenty of hiding places) and comes out and does a few laps every night before we feed him. He is very placid and isnt interested in my fish i have had him since last christmas and i have not lost a fish so i...

it is good to see that your lion already takes prepared foods, i wouldnt worry about him going without food, in the wild they are opportunistic hunters, they only eat when the food comes to them, if he doesnt eat for a while try a live fish, this will pep him up. The lion is a great fish...

garlic guard added to food makes all fish and infact all life (corals, inverts) in my tank go on a feeding frenzy, only my snowflake eel wont touch it.

i have been buying seawater for about 8 months and havent seen cyanos since, it also saves time as i dont have to mix the salt and water and i know the water is right first time. I used to mix tapwater and i had cyaNOS problems also it cost me more to buy thesalt than it does water

can anyone identify this. It has been in my tank ages but i only ever seen a green flat forked tongue looking worm, and his middle stretching around thru the rocks sometimes up to a metre long. Today i saw the other end, it was a blobby looking green ball that bounced around and contracted to...

how often should u add the garlic.

mine appeared to change when i added an anemone to the tank, one became possessive of the anemone for a few weeks and headbutted any fish that came near, now she is much bigger than the other one. they were the same size when i got them.

increasing currents on cyano areas also helps, but clean it first or you will just spread it around the tank.

i use sponge filters on mine, it also gives me extra seeded filters i can move to QT if needed
