Also, my Chromis did fight with each other...started with 5 now have 2. They did not mess with any of the other fish thought. I've asked and was told that's pretty common with chormis...just wanted to give you a heads up in case that's true.

Matt My tank cycled pretty quickly too (I used bio spira). I think you could add some chromis in there. I just went through the diatoms thing also...kinka annoying and cool at the same time. They should start dying off soon and then youll start seeing other colors appearing on your...

yes. Every time one dies off the others go at it...nothing too bad, but it seems like overnight someone get jacked up. There are only 2 left now and one is too small to fight so there aren't any more problems. I just wanted to know if this is normal or if I was fighting some kind of disease...

Trying to post a pic. Mark is above the right eye.

I started out with 5 chromis in my tank. Tank is 75 gal, just over 5 weeks running, 90 lbs of live rock, 2 bangii cardinals, 1 ocillaris clown. Ammonia: 0, Nitrites: 0, Nitrates: 5 ppm, Salinity 1.022, PH 8.4. Here is the question. I've lost 2 chromis and don't understand why. They are the...

Matt, I just got through with a diatom bloom...it looked bad!!! I put about half a dozen red leg hermits, 6 austria snails, 2 mexican turbos for the rocks. For the sand my LFS recommended a Diamond Goby...it kicked butt. That thing is one of the most entertaining fish. It digs, burrows...

Mike, Thanks. I really appreciate your honest answer. Partypalooza5 I saw this on another site and thought it was a perfect response to your reply. Thanks for the input. "You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist." -...

Mike, Thanks for replying. I'm not really trying to pick a fight with anyone. I just want to know why everyone is sooooo against the possibility of a product like this. I dont have stock in the company or anything...just curious. There are lot of people that just dismiss the idea...I'm looking...

OK...I've been reading way too much on here about the cycling process. I see many differing opinions about how there is no other way than the "old" methods. I am having a very hard time believing that!!!!!!! Are you all telling me that human beings can develop treatments for horrible diseases...

Just a little input. I started out with some blue-green chromis in my tank and love them. They stay together and are fun to watch. I added a clown a couple days ago and they all get along fine. The chromis watched the clown very closley for a day or so, but now it's all good. None of that...

Thanks for the welcome ccCapt. I'm not looking to do corals yet. I need a lot more experience before im ready for that. But, I am interested in inverts. Any suggestions on what will do well with my current light?

First off...i'm a newby, but I have a 75 gal tank and bought a new light system for it yesterday. I got the GLO T5 HO with a capasity of two bulbs. I looked at the recommended bulbs and went with a Power glo bulb (white light) and a Marine glo (for blues). All I can say is HOLY CRAP!!!!! The...

Thanks for the welcome. I have 4 blue-green chromis in there now. I seemed like a little too much for them at the beginning, but I moved the powerhead to the middle portion of the back wall and pointed them toward the front and center of the tank. They seem like that was much better!!!:D

I've added some pics to the profile. I'm not looking to get into corals...yet anyway. For now I'm wanting to stay with fish and hardy inverts.
