Very sick blue tang. Lying on side for a day now breathing but obviously dying. Is there a humane way to help her from suffering?

My blue tang is about 3 inches long and has done great for over a year. Eats like crazy, but I looked closely and can see rib bones. LPS said possibly internal parasite? They recommended garlic? Help

My green mantis appears sick?? Water conditions are all in range. Nothing has changed, last night I saw him on his back. I nudged him and he swam off. This morning, on his back kind of curled up legs moving. Nudged again and he tried to swim but upside down then swam straight up the tank...

I set up a 20 gallon high species tank. I wanted a peacock mantis, have been waiting for a long time for one. LFS just received a lime or green mantis. He is very cool, curious about size. He is only 2-3 inches now. Does he compare to the peacock ?? Same only a different color ?? TIA

Totaly agree, I never test Ph only Kh.

I have a auto doser for my 55 gal. On the end of the tank where the calcium is added that corner is covered white. Looks like calcium, hard to scrape even with a razor blade. That corner is not cleaned, not a viewing area. So, leave the white and hope coralline will grow ?? TIA

The water test was before the fish, and then today after the second death still 0's.

I have had that tank for so long. Are you maybe thinking of copper ? I honestly dont know. No sighns of sickness, RO no tap, I believe they were collected. The first one that died was being consumed by some hermit crabs, but it's tail looked like the other one may have chased it. But the...

Has anyone ever setup a eclipse 6. Is there any way to upgrade the lighting. I already have the tank,heater all that goes with it. Thought it might be fun to put some live sand and some uncured LR and see what happens. Thanks for any suggestions.

I just received mine yesterday, from DIYREEF.com model RHS10-ATC. I agree that even though it says auto temp comp. the directions discuss temps. I calibrated mine with reg. water to 1.000 then sampled my tank water wich is 78 degrees. 1.023 just what I wanted, then off to my LFS to have them...

Has anyone tried the new Phosban 150 Reactor ???

mrpope I am finally winning my battle with hair algae !!!!! I good friend of mine says 99 % of the people that get out of the hobby is because of algae. The advise the others gave is right on the money, you can do it, good luck.

I recently aquired an Eclipse 6 aquarium. How would this do for a FOWLR set up. Like maybe two hearty fish and some crabs or something ???

Hey, I have looked around locally and can not find a refractometer. I have a hydrometer not as accurate as the refrac. I mix alot of saltwater take my readings with the hydro never even close to my LPS refrac. Any good web site info for ordering one ?? TIA

Has anyone ever used a Spectrapure auto top off ??

Hello, my LFS has a auto top off not sure off the brand. It consist of a sensor, pump (powerhead) and tubing, $82.00 bucks. Good or bad price, not sure ??? I thought I could put a 10 gal. aquarium under my 55 stand. It should just fit, I think ? Has anyone done anything like this ?? Thanks...

Yes it is setup. Would a 10 gal a tank work?

The 20 gal long is whats recommended, center brace is my concern. 10 gal. will fit, but the 20's are 13 inches. So the center brace is in the way. Is a 10 gal. to small.

What size sump will fit under a 55 gal stand. Or is it even possible ?? Thanks for any help.
