I saw that you said that earlier in the post but my concern is that up until a few days ago he was always out and about for atleast an hour or so and would always be out for food but when I see him in the cave he seems to be panting more than breathing and hasn't been out for food since...

Just saw this and am concerned for My royal gramma, he was always out and about since I got him a month ago, was eating pellets and frozen brine shrimp but for the last 3 days he is hiding out in a cave under the rock. Doesn't seem to come out to feed. Did get a new yellow clown goby but the...

Turns out the blue devil damsel and yellow bellied damsel were bullies and the clown were under stress, well thats the Lfs reasoning as water quality was good, slightly high nitrates only, and no signs of illness on clown in pic. Lesson learned don't change setup of tank with aggressive fish pr...

Sorry it's a 96ltr tank and all seemed to be going well and I was doing water changes as recommended. Only big change in last while was I got a new light bulb. It made a significant difference to the look of the tank but I thought that would only be good for the inhabitants.

Tank is up and running for the last 6months. Salinity was 1.022 according to hydrometer. Ammonia was 0 ph was 8.2-8.4 nitrite was 0 nitrate was 20-40 but last time the api test kit read this I brought a sample to Lfs as I was concerned. When they checked it it was 0 according to there readings...

Hey all wondering if you have any advice on the following. In the last week my cleaner shrimp disappeared, one of the clown fish has died and the other is very sick. I have two other damsels and they seem fine and are eating and behaving as normal. The tank did get very dirty quickly this week...

I tested the LFS premixed water and the Nitrate is 0ppm so i have to assume the test kit is ok. So I guess the next thing is to do is to increase frequency of water changes to see if that will bring down the nitrate level. Any other suggestions?

Yeah have some here so was thinking of checking it tonight alright.

Also I am conducting around 15% water changes every 10days or so.

Hey all, I have my tank up and running for about 4 months now and all seems fine, during the first few months I was bringing a water sample to the LFS each week to get some premixed salt water for the water changes and all the readings were in check. I decided to get a test kit as I wanted to...

Hello all, I have had my first salt water FOWLR tank up and running for the last 4 months or so and all has been going fine. I currently have 2 clown fish in the tank and a Yellow Bellied Damsel and Blue Devil added 2 weeks ago. I am getting more into the maintenance side of it and thinking...
