Does anyone know what this is? It seems like either loss of color or loss or scales...seemed to appear pretty quickly. Nitrates are 10, ammonia and nitrites 0, salinity 1.025, temp 78. It is on two of them. They are eating and swimming around fine, showing no other symptoms. Pease help! Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is reason for concern...could I get your opinion? My clowns are in hypo for ich, they have been doing great. It wasn't a bad case, I only ever saw one dot. They were in a Rubbermaid container for awhile because of a leaky tank situation where I had to transfer them quickly...

About a week and a half ago, my 65 gal fowlr sprung quite a few leaks and we had to do an emergency evac of the fish. We set up a 45 gal Rubbermaid with the filter, powerheads, and heater, and they have been in there since then. They also have some PVC structures to hide out in. The fish are...

I need your help guys...I made a mistake during a water change that stressed my fish and has caused an outbreak of ich. I am so upset. I am treating the tank with hyposalinity. The water is at 1.009. The ph has always been at 8.4, it recently fell to 8.3. The water I am mixing to put in the tank...

I have a 65 fowlr with 2 clowns, 1 royal gramma, and 3 blue reef chromis. Yesterday, it started leaking from the bottom. We went out to get a new tank. The only one we could afford was a 60 gallon, so that s what we got. I also have a flame angel in quarantine, to go into the fowlr soon. I read...

Hello! I have a 65 gal fowlr with 2 clowns, 3 blue reef chromis, and one royal gramma. The last two on my list are a flame angel and flame hawkfish. Does this still sound like a good plan and which one would you add next? TIA!!

I have a 65 gal fowlr. It only has 2 clownfish in it right now. The next fish on my list is a royal gramma, and after that, 3 blue chromis. I have my qt tank all ready to go, but I've been having a hard time finding the royal gramma. LiveAquaria just got some in, but they have the $30...

My husband is a caretaker at our apartment building. Today he went to clean out an apartment that someone moved out of a few months ago. There were two fish tanks in there, without filters or heaters running, with fish still in them. Half were dead, the other half were swimming around in green...

Yesterday I switched out the substrate of my freshwater tank to stuff that will work with plants,because I would like to switch it over to a planted tank. I know I might have killed the beneficial bacteria and am ready to do daily water changes if I need to. But I was hoping there would be...

I have white particles floating in my tank. My tank was established about three months ago and has two clowns in it. About 3 days ago I just noticed the white particles all of a sudden floating everywhere in the water. They are especially noticable when I turn all of the equipment off. It...

My royal gramma has been in qt for almost 2 weeks. Was doing great. Ammonia was zero as of last night, but when I checked it this am it was .25. Sg steady at 1.023. Temp 76. Woke up this am and she wouldn't eat, saw that she had white dots like sand and also looks like cuts from her lips across...

Major newbie question... Is this dark coloring just natural, like the tank maturing, or is it something bad?

One of my clownfish (the larger one) is nipping at the smaller one. He has a chunk missing from his fin. Why would she do that? What can I do?

My two false perculas have changed their eating habits recently. I have had them in the tank for a little over a month. At first, the ate all the food that I offerred them. I have been feeding them flakes and mysis shrimp. About a week ago they skipped breakfast one morning, but went back to...

Is there any reason why my specific gravity would be slowly decreasing instead of increasing besides that my refractometer is not giving accurate readings? About 4 days ago it was 1.025, and over the last few days has slowly been going down to 1.023. I thought it was supposed to rise over time...

I have two clownfish (false percula) in my 65 gal fowlr. I was wondering...I don't have lights with a timer yet, I switch them manually from the bright day lights to the blue "moonlight" lights. I do have a timer that I could use with the lights to turm them strictly on and off, from either...

What is your tank maintenance schedule? As far as cleaning equipment,etc.

I keep changing my mind about my stock list for my 65 gal fowlr. This was my tentative plan... 2 clowns (which i already have) bicolor angelfish royal gramma flame hawkfish yellowtail damselfish-3 I also considered a yellow clown goby and a wrasse (maybe the carpenters flasher wrasse?)...

Is there a list of things I should have on hand, like an emergency first aid kit, that treat the common illnesses that my fish could possibly get? I would like to be prepared, instead of making a frantic run to the lfs should something happen. Anything you have found to be helpful to have on hand?

One of my clownfish just developed a little spot, or pimple looking thing, right under his mouth. It appeared yesterday, and looked white. Today it looks more clear. He is acting normal, no itching or weird behavior, eating well and active. Parameters are all spot on. I got him a little over a...

I've got a reef octopus hob bh-2000. It's set up on my 65 gal, which currently only has two clownfish in it. There are basically no directions with this skimmer, and I'm concerned that I don't have it setup right. I see bubbles foaming up in it, but they don't rise up to the collection cup...

I got two clown fish tonight! My first saltwater fish. I just have one concern. They seem to be swimming very hard and if they stop, they seem to be forced backwards. I just have two pumps, one on each side. Is it possible the current is too much for them?

My tank is finally cycled, aquascape is ready. My ammonia is 0, Nitrites are 0, Nitrates are 10, and ph is 8.2. I'm good to go right? Just double checking. :)

Just a random question...how do you protect your fish from power outages? We lose power frequently enough that I really need a backup plan. Any tips? TIA!

What do you guys think? This is my first time aquascaping. I wish I had a little more room to work with. The arch on the left is not as stable as I would like...the epoxy putty didn't hold at all. Any suggestions? The guy at Petland said that plain superglue works, but I'm scared to believe...
