Full tank pics here

Ok, I wasnt able to get a picture that would give you any sort of clue as to what it looks like, so I'll try explaining it. It has the general body type of a medusa worm ( http://www.fantasyreef.com/database/index.php?p=getitem&db_id=1&item_id=44 ) but it's body is black with little white spots...

Thanks for the replies! (sorry it took so long for me to get back to this) On to your comments: I double checked the water at my LFS and it was fine, the tank was started shortly after christmas and all of the fish were at least 6 months old (I had been doing so good for my first tank) I...

So this isnt fun at all... 5 of my 6 fish have died in the last week. Im at college and I just come home on the weekends and do water changes, while my dad feeds them during the week. Last weekend I noticed they looked a little iffy, so instead of the normal 5% I did a full 20% change. My dad...

I use RO/DI water and the tank is the perfecto 16x8x10 Thanks!

Ok, so I'm away at college now... and I miss having my tanks around all the time. So Im strongly considering a Nano tank for my dorm. I dont want anything horribly fancy or expensive (I'm a college student aka: poor) So what Ive been thinking about doing is making a 5-1/2 gallon tank with zoos...

thats really kinda a crapshoot... do you have any scavengers in the tank that could have eaten any left overs? is there anything stuck under your rocks and such? and what kind of worms are we talking about here?

thanks!

I found it a few days ago and couldnt get a picture, and now i finally did

yes they molt, and he probably hasnt been out much because he was working on doing just that...

yea the original thing i wanted to do was get 2 or 3 yellow tangs, because they are nice active and bright fish, but its also like... 16-24 adult inches. That naturally took up a lot of space, hence why I'm here trying to figure out ways to do more. I also wanted to either get a few chromis or...

I had actually just thought about doing that, I was thinking about the set up in my LFS and they have a separate skimmer running in their live rock tank... sounds like a good idea to me

Ok, my dad likes my tank a lot, and wants a large system in our new house we are building... I'm going to be setting it up and all, and doing maintenance on the weekends when im home from school. The only thing is, he wants a lot of fish, beyond the normal "recommendations" and Im wondering if...

Ok, my royal gramma has ich... and I want to run him through hyposalinity I just put him in the quarantine tank, at the normal salinity level, after giving him a short freshwater bath. I am running a small HOB filter with activated carbon, and a small heater on the tank. Now... from what I have...

yea, I read some kind of article a little while ago written by one of the typical uninformed eco freaks... complaining about the cruising industry dumping however many lbs of human waste into the ocean each year. I just sat back and wondered how this person honestly thinks that it has some...

One interesting fact that not a lot of people know... unless you have some sort of urinary tract infection, urine is completely sterile. So it definately wouldnt have any "beneficial bacteria" but the whole ammonia thing would work. Its kinda funny when you think about the fact that everyone...

just out of curiousity... what are you going to do over winter break?

Well, my only suggestion would be that you get it young. I talked to the guy (that actually knows something) in my LFS today about one they had in a display tank. First off, the display tank was their 1000 gallon shark/ray display tank... and they had this sohal tang in there. someone brought in...

Make sure your return line to the tank either has a swing check valve or it is high enough to the point where backflow wont be an issue. (a lot of people dont think about this until it is too late) As for the HOBs, you can use them if you would like (I doubt they would work on the sump because...

diamond watchman goby has cured my dirty sand issues... it looks great now

in my experience, yes this would be fine. I switched a clown and a damsel out of a 10 gallon into a 45 without a problem... ( used the 12 lbs lr i had and another 15 precured from the lfs)

little white dots about the size of a grain of salt oh i forgot to mention the goby was only 3 days old and I (extremely stupidly) figured that since he wasnt going to be stressed due to other fish and such (he was in a tank of his own) that i wouldnt have to worry too much about putting him in...

Ok, I have a yellow watchman goby that came down with ich. Now, I give all my fish a close examination every day (they are right next to my desk... and i get bored a lot) I just spotted it today, pulled him out right away and placed him in a QT. Now, my question is... do you think the ich...
