Hi there, I am having a big problem here and am not sure what to do... I have a 40gallon tank with 4 chromis and a small sailfin tang, and a cleaner shrimp.... My tank is about 7 months old and everything was perfect until about 2 weeks ago, I had to leave for a couple of weeks and the person I...

I will go ahead and do that, what makes them get HLLE?

I dont have a picture, my parameters are good, I have a 65gallon tank yellow tang, 4 chomis, 1 cleaner shrimp with some live rocks. I do not feed it seaweed but I will go and buy some, the spots stopped spreading but I am not sure if its going to stay scarred like that.

Hi there just notice that my yellow tang has some red spots on its face kinda like little holes, is there a reason why this is happening? It eats and looks fine but its face is looking bad. Please help, thank you.

Ok got it, thanks for all the info.

I had a question, I bout a live rock about a week ago. I am "curing" it at the moment in a large tub. How do I know when the live rock is ready? Also is there a way to speed up the process I hear that it can take 2-3 evey 4 weekd to cure is this right?

This is my first saltwater tank so my LFS said after a month it was ok to get fish so i did and was not aware about the tang until after. It is fairly small so i was told i could keep it there, I will eventually get a bigget tank next year. I test my ph around noon or so. So David are you saying...

Power head, ok I was planning on getting one anyway since I will eventually try to get some corals also, thanks!

wow my magnesium and calcium level, I do not have anything to test that yet. Ammonia was at 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 30

Got it, thanks!

I used the Kent Marine Superbuffer-dkh. I have chromis and a small sailfin tang. My 50gal tank is a little over 2 months old and I was told by the LFS rep not to do water change until cycled. I did 10% water change last week and I was planning on doing another 10% this week but not sure if I...

So I changed my water last week and my PH went down quite a bit as my LFS rep told me it would so I have been adding a powder substance which is to higher you PH level but as of today it was at 8.0, my question is if I do another water change this weekend i'm afraid that my PH will drop too...

Hi there, for the last couple weeks my sand started turning brownish which I researched and it sounds to be diatoms. But now I am getting Algae all over the glass of my tank I did a water change last week and cleaned it off the glass but now 5 days later its pretty bad again, is there a reason I...

Ok thank you for the advise, yeah the tang is small that is why we got him. I was going to wait a year before I got the new tank but I will go ahead and get it sooner so I wont have any problems with it, thanks.

yes, I am planning on purchasing a way bigger tank next year. Thanks

thanks, yeah my tank has been set up for about 2 months now, so will it affect any of my fish?

Just wanted to see if I am in trouble or not, some of my sand has turned brownish with some little bubbles on top is this bad? I have a 50gal tank with some chromis and a small salfing tang. Please advise, thanks.

My PH on my new water is at 8.8 a little high how do I bring it down or is it ok to add the water in that way?

Ok I am about to do a water change, do I need to test the water I am adding to the tank first or do I add the water and then test the my tank? I let my new water sit next to my tank since yesterday, anything special I need to do?

Thanks for all the help! I'm sure he will be great in my tank, thanks again.

Thank you, my nitrate level was at 40 so hopefully with a water change it drops a bit, I was told not to do anything at the moment as the water change will bring it down to where it will be ok.

found it, left to the store and when I came back there he was on the bottom near a rock. Thanks for the replies!

I am at a little over 3hrs already, so do I check the parameters in the water where the shrip is at right now??

yes tank has cycled, I have a small selfin but yes I am aware that he will need a bigger tank which I am planning on getting next year. I checked my water in the tank this morining and everything was ok nitrate was a little high but nothing drastic, I will be doing a water change in the next...

I have a 50gal tank I have 5 chromis and a selfin tang and some live rocks.... Do I have to check both the tank and the container where I am acclimating the shrimp until they match?
