Thank you so much for your help, That will be much easier. We decided to hold off on picking out a fish and just do 2-3 gallons every other day. Since we pretty much tried to get them all out at once; it already looks a ton better. We're also not going to risk any chemicals to kill them...

The reason I've been having trouble siphoning them out is not in getting them out of the tank, but getting water back in. Maybe I'm doing something much harder then I have to. So far, i have the 1/2 tubing going into a net draining into a bucket, this is catching all the flatworms. The...

Sucking them out is not easy.but it's working. How should I measure if the infestation is small enough to use Flatworm Exit. What I've read so far it should appear there are no more flat worms, turn off the pumps and do an immediate water change and suck out what you can find of them. Is this...

I was leaning towards the 6 line wrasse anyway, so it works out win win. I was wondering if a water change every 2 days is too much and may cause a spike?

That link is a better pic That matches exactly what it looks like. The tank is over about 8 months old so it's semi-new. But it was fine until we got Thanks for the help, i'm increasing water changes. Is every other day too much? i have the buckets ready. I was also looking at the 6 line...

Hey guys, Our 125 gallon tank has had an outbreak of these red dots on our glass and liverock, does anyone know what these are and how to get rid of them?!?!?! We use RI/DO water, and do water changes about every 2 weeks. Our numbers are really good. Ammonia - 0 Nitrites - 0 Nitrates - 0 PH -...

Thank you so much, I also went to local fish stores, and they treat with "quik fix" and suggested a fresh water dip. So far he's just doing great in the quarentine, I'm not finding anything that helps decide btwn the virus or if it's a fungal infection. What treatments would be safe no...

Is it spreadable to other fish? We have stopped using pima fix after the responses leaned towards lympho. When the fish brushed against me when I was feeding it the garlic soaked shrimp it was hard. I treated with pima for about 6 days and didn't see improvments. I've been researching both...

Thank you, it looks like (based on the instructions) maracyn two is for other secondary and internal infections where pimafix references the cotton fungus. which do you think we should try first? With that link above it describes it exactly, I even am starting to see little red dots on the...

It could have been maybe 4 days tops, we did have a big algae problem and they were the least of our worries because the polyps were sucked in, I've been watching it closely since I saw it and it hasn't grown, his patterns haven't changed. I'm giong to the fish store now and will buy a bunch of...

it says pimafix is reef safe, could i start treating him today and quarentine when i get my other tank Sunday? I don' t know if waiting till sunday to treat is going to kill him. it doesn't look worse today heres some better pics

No really new additions to the tank, i do have a yellow tank and a purple lobster, and big sally lightfoot crab, and a pink tip hatian anenome. Heres a pic, i'm still trying to get a better one... I'm worried it may have been too late to notice. Unfortunately I don't have a quarantine tank...

Just a shot in the dark! I have a po4 test with 3 bottles and it's by Hagen. I don't have the box or instructions, but i don't want to buy a new test if I don't have to! Anyone know what the instructions are?

yes, thats what the star used to look like. it took a week to start deteriorating. I have seen those stars on your other posts, they are so beautiful!!! I'm so glad there are stars that are reef safe. After i am sure about the yellow tang I will be getting another one, No rush, No air this...

Thanks for all your help, I'm going to stick it out with the tang just monitoring him and pray the star creates a miracle! I really appreciate the quick responses!

last test was last night, ammonia 0 nitrate 0 nitrite 0 ph 8.2 alkalinity 4 m/l and calcium was last week we tested and it was 390 mg/l We do have a ton of brown algea i think from old lights so we have new ones on the way also doing a huge water change today, the tang is 2-3 inches and we feed...

Yellow tang, I have seen him in many tanks with corals, I have now caught him nibbling on the Linckia Starfish, and now on of the legs has fallen off, Now he is nibbling on the star polyps, we had bought shaving brushes b/c we read he likes green plants and he picks them off and now we just...

Tank is pretty new! Thanks for the help.

I was wondering if anyone knows what these are. I'm worried they may be from over feeding or something I'm doing. I have 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and 0 nitrate 8.2 ph and calcium last tested 3 days ago was 300 mg/L and we put bionic part 1 and 2 since then, now calcium is 390 mg/L is that too...

I'm cycling my tank now, and want to add live rock, any good stores online that have good rock, preferably less expensive, but I want a lot of colors and bigger pieces. Any websites? or comments on what quality rock you did get? I just wanted to update this, I ended up surfing around this...

My wife and I had the same exact problem. We tried everything that we could to try and get rid of the green hair algae covering our entire tank. We bought every type of clean up crew that we could but nothing would work. What we figured out what was wrong was that we had our tank lights on for...
