I have put some cubes of algae into the tank at feeding time but I guess I should put some Nori or lettuce for it to graze on. I don't see anything else besides the Tang that could have caused it. I will try to take care of it tomorrow.

Well, I lost the Feather today. :( It lost the radioles and then it just started to slowly crawl out of its tube. Why? My other Dusters are fine and I don't overfeed them. My water parameters look good. Is it possible that my Yellow Tang that occasionally nips at it caused it to go? I don't...

Ok all, how do you resolve this? I test my water parameters with the Hagen made test kits. When I decided to test the results against a Marsdel test kit, I'm getting 2 different results which are not even close! (One says my Nitrate is 5PPM, the other says 40PPM!!!) I did just lose a Feather...

If a Feather Duster leaves it's tube, is it doomed or is there still some hope? Can I do anything for it or should I leave it be? ALso, what would cause it to leave its tube? My water conditions are good and my other 7 dusters are doing fine. Thanks!

Hello, I think that your tang will be fine. M understanding is that unless you have a large tank(100 gal+), you should only have one tang in the tank. However, if you chose to get another tang, you have to make sure that it has a different body shape than the Yellow Tang otherwise they will...

I use Instant Ocean. Works great.

Get the temp stable from somewhere between 78-80 degrees. I keep mine at that range. The S.G. should be 1.02-1.025. If you are going fish only, you can keep it at the lower end but higher for a reef tank. The PH should be at 8.1-8.3 and tha salt mix you use should be it to the correct level. I...

Yes, I have also heard that this species of starfish is not for a reef tank. Go with a Brittle Star or Sea Serpent. I have a Sea Serpent and every morning when I feed the fish and inverts, he come crawling out at 15 mph! :o

I agree that the Clownfish is a good choice. They are my first fish in the tank and the pair is still going strong. I do suggest that you get them in pairs. Seems easier on them that way.

Thanks for the replies. I have a 75 gallon tank that has 75 lbs of live rock. I have a 2.5 inch bed of live sand and it has 2 blue actinic bulds and a Power Compact lights. I have 3 Peppermint shrimps, 3 skunk cleaners, a sea serpent star, Hermit Crabs with snails. I have 2 False Clowns, 2...

Hello everybody, I need some advice. I want to add an anemone and corals soon to my reef tank. I will be adding the anemone first so that I can see where it wants to live. I checked my water specs today and tell me if you think that this is ok for the anemone. S.G.= 1.024 Temp= 78-80 degrees...

Why should he lose the canister filter? Is it bad to have one if you keep corals?

Hey thanks! Yes, the tank is new. Got 2 Clowns in there now and I'm gonna add about a cleaner crew for a 30 gallon setup. My tank is a 75 gal. Anymore info is welcomed!

I got this brownish algae growing on the side of my tank and my live sand has patches of brown in it. I'm gonna add some snails and hermit crabs in soon. This should take care of this right?

They are Common Clownfish.

Is it normal for 2 Common Clownfish to pick a spot in a tank and just kind of hang there? I just introduced 2 Clownfishes to my tank today and they tend to stay to the side of the tank and waddle back and forth there without checking out the rest of their universe. :D

Reeflady, Yes, I'm thinking about mobile inverts although I'm thinking going Reef also.

Hello, I'm about ready to put my livestock in over the next month or so. I want to start with 2 Clownfishes. I have a 75 Gal tank with 3" of LS and 75 lbs. of LR. I would like a mix but I want to also have fish that won't kill each other. I do plan on some Invertebrae for the tank. Any suggestions?

I have a 55 gal Tank. 4 Clown Loaches 4 Black Fin Tetras 4 Rosy Barbs 8 Tiger Barbs 2 Dwarf Gouramis 2 Tri-Color Sharks 1 Angel 1 Pleco 1 Male Betta

Hello, Last week I got 2 Clown Loachs for my 55 gallon tank. I put them in after a small break in period and I haven't seen them in the open very much. I have a rock decoration that has a small cave inside. I know they hide out in there. I wonder if there is something wrong or is it natural for...

Ok, I have a 75 gallon tank that is a fresh start. It cycled for one week with just the sand, pump and heater. Live rock in now for 2 weeks. Temp is 80 degrees, SG is 1.025, Ph is 8.3, no nitrate, no nitrite and very little ammonia. It will be a reef system eventually. Should I put some fish...

Hello everybody! I'm new here but this place seems like a great place for help. I have a 55 gallon tank. I have 8 Tiger Barbs, 2 Gouramis, 2 Angels, 3 Clown Loachs, 4 Black Fin Tetras, and a Betta. I was informed that the Barbs should be kept in schools of 8-12 to help curb the fin nipping, but...
