I have two 750 evolutions on my 46 gallon and a nano at the ready for any dead spots or slow moving areas. Flow is good, surface movement is good, and i havent had any problems with them.

Did ur fish lips look like these? Cause my clown went through something similar couldnt move lips to eat. Would lay on the sand listless. It got progressively worse way worse than the pic. Would want to eat and caught food at times. Came to a point where i really thought it was a gonner. Then...

The funny thing is that after reading this thread i went to check out the nem and even though it looks like part of it is on the sand its really not. It lifts itself off the bottom with its tenticles hanging over just skimming the sand. It shrunk and expanded twice. Almost thought it had...

Here is another update. Got home from work today to see the nem open and out even more. No host as of yet but my bigger clown appears real interested flaring and cautiously approaching then swiming away. Striped damsel still protecting at times.

Here is an updated pic. I tried the antinic lights for about three hours, still no change.

Got a BTA a couple of days ago after the first day it decided to place it self in a overhang of a large rock. The problem is that its upside down and really gets into the overhang during the day. At night when the lights go out it comes out and expands triple in size. I figured it would move...

I am going through the same situation. I bought a QT and was going to begin hypo. Well in the process of transfering and doing a fresh water dip (like some of the articles suggested) I lost my coral beauty and flame angel. So being the newb that I am I panicked and put the rest (a clown, striped...

Bought some hermits most were common red but two were white. At first i thought they were molting but its been two weeks and still no change. Dont know if they are suppose to be like this or they are sick.
