FYI I figured out how to fix this issue. I am cutting a piece of plexiglass to slid into the grooves on the mounting bracket, them just placing the lights longways on top of the plexi. That will solve two issues, one with the lights being lifted and the other with the lights running sideways...

Hey everyone, I recently purchased 2 banks of AI Sol Super blue, but after mounting them I realized that I have somewhat of a problem. Since they are hung under the rail, instead of lifted like my old unit they are basically sitting on top of my tank cover. This is causing me problems because...

ok will try more acclimation

Yes when moving my sand around I had unfortunately found them dead in the sand bed :(

Hey everyone, just had a quick question regarding nassarius snails. I have had my tank up for about a year now and all fish, hermits, turbo, and margarita snails are doing fine. Earlier in the year I added 10 nassarius snails to my tank, saw them for about 2 weeks and then they disappeared. I...

Thanks for the link!

I don't know if this is in the right forum or not, but about two days ago I noticed some red splotches on my yellow tang near the tail. He is acting normal and eating normally and swimming actively as always. I have not noticed his scratching against rocks or anything else. My aquarium is...

I use seaweed sheets to feed my tang, he loves the sea veggies!

You could get a diamond goby, they are good sifters.

I agree with roka, I had the same issue with my clowns (still do and it had been approx 6 months with them) The one looks like it is going into a seizure, but from what I have read it is a dominance thing. No worries!

Just to throw this in the ring, I am pretty sure I have the same sundial fixture you have (T-5, with actinic, full spectum, and LED's) If it is the same the bulbs are 2 of each kind. I would purchase some back-up bulbs to have on hand. I had a problem where one light went out, but that kills...

I had my cleaner shrimps for quite some time and never saw them clean a fish. I had 2 tank raised occelaris in there for a while and they didn't go near him. All of that changed when I added my yellow tang, they clean him every so often, mostly the tang will hover in for a cleaning and the...

Sounds like you may be feeding the clowns too frequently, once every 2 or 3 days should be ok. I had the same issue you had and was feeding every day, started doing every other and things started to look better.

I have not been able to get him to eat prepared foods, but I keep trying my best. He seems to be getting enough algae though, I see him scraping the glass most of the time.

Yeah, there are all kinds of little circles on my glass where he had taken a bite.
