There are these cool little lavender things growing on my rocks. They look like little eggs with a hole on top. Could they be tunicates? Anybody have a guess? I hope they're not dangerous because they look really cool.

Too late lol!

I know that the mandarin dragonet is difficult to feed. But does anybody know a trick that might help. May sound like a stupid question but to fish stores sell live brine shrimp or copepods that can be introduced to the tank?

There is a medicine that is ok to use on coral and live rock. One is ick attack the other is microbe lift. They have both worked for me and they're safe for corals and rock. A UV sterilizer is a good investment and so is a 10 gallon hospital tank. It's kind of frustrating because ick is...

Yeah metal halide.

Yeah its an oddeysea.

60 gallon tank. 605 total watts. Two halogens in the middle with two t5 bulbs. Yeah it's pretty bright.

Just bought a 605 watt metal halide light and it's pretty nice. However , Uh it gets a little hot. A chiller is a way off so I got a fan running across the water. I'm afraid to run the halogen lights with the T5's all the time so I put the halogens on a timer. One hour on one off. Are you...

There is a website called aquatraders .com. I heard about it from a guy on YouTube and he recommended these lights. Considering the prices they can't be beat. I just bought a 605 watt metal halide with moonlight LEDs for 239$! The one I saw on YouTube was cheaper and this guy's coral was...

Yeah it's weird. I have other fish in there with no sign of ich. Just a new clown came down with it.

Then what would be the parameters golfer a hospital tank. Is the rock and sand sacrificial? I mean after I treat the condition do the antibiotics make the rock and san useless? Which is fine. But I would like to do it the right way

I'm starting a 10 gallon hospital tank to treat sick fish with copper. I don't want to dose in my display tank. I have a HOB filter, heater and a little light and also a power head. I took a couple of pieces of live rock from my display tank and a cup of live sand. My question is do I need live...

Melosu, did you run it 24/7?

No. I had a problem with marine velvet. It got really hot here a couple of weeks ago and my temperature raised about 5 degrees in one day. Anyway they all died. I learned a lot. I just beard that a uv light can really help.

I bought a UV sterilizer and hooked it up to my Rena Filstar canister filter. It recommend for 350gph and my filter does the same. My question is this, will I kill all my good bacteria if I run it 24/7? I started off at 6 hours and tested for ammonia. I'm about to raise it to seven. Anybody have...

You can't use a copper based medicine on live rock or sand. Also invertebrates like shrimp and coral are extremely sensitive to copper. Ich is easy to treat if caught early and using a copper based medicine in a hospital tank. "Microbe lift" is a strong natural medicine you can put in a display...

I had the same problem and lost all my fish. I made some mistakes I learned from. If it's hot and your temperature swings up rapidly then that could cause it. Set your thermometer to 80 that way if it gets hot it won't be such a dramatic swing. "Ick attack" you can use on your tank but you have...

I have the exact size tank you do with a reef octopus skimmer. I have the dual skimmer HOB. I paid 150 for it online. It's a monster skimmer. It's two skimmers in one. Bad stuff: it's ugly. The two large pumps go in the tank. Also it took about 3 weeks to break in and I always had to adjust my...

Dude! I have that exact skimmer for my tank. High quality parts and it works great! Bad stuff, takes about 3 weeks to break in with your collection cups practically overflowing every couple of hours, the thing is huge and doesn't look very nice in the tank,sometimes it overflows if the bubble...

Can anybody give me some parameters for anemones. Maybe suggest a few starter species ?

Please!

Wow. Could you tell the website ?

My bi color angel has ich. My other fish seem fine for now. I don't have a quarantine tank and I have anemones so a copper cure is out of the question. I've been using a natural medicine with no copper. I got a cleaner wrasse and it cleaned him up really good but somebody ate him. I got a...

Sounds like a plan. I'll give that a try rookie.

I have a Rena Filstar XP3 canister filter. It WON'T stop blowing micro bubbles! Anybody know why?
