    Yellow Tang Question

    He seems to look healthy. There isnt anything visible that would suggest otherwise, other than his attitude. He doesnt eat when I put food in the tank, but he isnt skinny either. It is really confusing. He does look stressed out though. Any other suggestions??

    Diatoms after 2 and a half months??

    I only have two fish. A tang and a small trigger. I think I have narrowed the problem down to my filter and protein skimmer. They stink. Neither is working well at all so I think I am going to replace them. Can anyone recommend a good filter and protein skimmer for a 55 gallon tank?

    Diatoms after 2 and a half months??

    My source water is Ro/Di and is also uv sterilized so i dont think that is the problem. I cut back on feedings to see if that will help. I usually change my filter cartriges every month. Maybe I need to do that more often. I am also cutting back on the lighting. I tested nitrites, amonia, and...

    cycling question

    Thanks. I have a master test kit that uses bottles and test tubes to mix the solution with the water and then it can be compared to a card. I changed about 30 % of the water so maybe in a week I will change another 30%.

    My tank has been cycling for about a month. I tested the water today and there was no amonia and no nitrites. I did a partial water change and then tested the water again.
