I have a pair of Picasso clowns and they keep trying to host my Duncan coral polyps and I'm worried they will kill it off. Is there an anemone that I can put in the tank that they will host instead? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

After the success of my 50 gallon tank I am planning a 300 gallon build and would like some help on the base. I was going to double up on the glass. Would you put the second layer of glass on the inside of the tank. So the sides and ends will be ontop of the first later and stuck to the edges of...

Here's a curious question, as the corals are using up the calcium and alkalinity to build their exo skeleton does this in turn lower the salinity and the ph? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I was doing a water change and a bit of aqua scraping the other day and found this star that I had never purchased so has come in on live rock. I think it's a brittle star of some kind and don't think that it is bad but would like a second opinion please. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium...

I have 1 small goldrush tang, 3 chromies. 2 Picasso clowns and a stary blenny. Two cleaner shrimp star fish several snails. This algea has always been an issue tho even when the tank had like only 3 fish in. I was careful and worked to the rule of 2 inch of fish per 5 gallon of water Sent...

Also I got the phosphate wrong in the params i put 0.6 it's supposed to be 0.08 Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

To be fair I have only had the phosguard for a few weeks the phosphate was at 0.16 before and has only just started to to come down 0.08. Also I'm not sure I trust the test kits entirely I'm using a Red Sea comparator. I normally do water changes every 1 to 2 weeks and about 20% water change i...

I have been battling green hair algae for several months now and have tried almost everything to get rid of it. I pull it out with every water change turn the rocks upside down, have seachem phosguard in a container where all the tank water is pumped through but it still keeps on growing back...

Hi that is very intresting. I never add the water tho as it is good pratice not to. But that dosent mean that the tang may have not relesed the scent after I added. I don't like to acclimate to long as I read that cos there is no Eco system in the bag ammonia will build up quite quickly once the...

I think it was a couple of days in store. It's so frustrating to see them struggling and not bing able to do anything to help. The blenny and angel kept going over to where it was and staring at it. I might have to get rid of the angel if I can catch it. I will wait to make sure the fish last in...

It must be the blenny and the angel. Ozone has made the tank crystal clear and haven't seen any nitrates since adding it also got it when I had a outbreak of white spot to help keep that at bay Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

No I have 3 chromis 2 Picasso clowns 2 chalk gobys fireball angel and blenny. And yes I acclimate them the same all the time and have never had a problem with another fish. Could it that it is more sensitive to ozone? I have turned off the ozone unit see if that makes a diff over night? I also...

It was a kole as I love them they look amazing. It would be the second kole first one dies of white spot. The other was a naso Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

But this would be the 3rd tang I've lost and I have never lost a fish like this. Only reason I lost fish is because of a ich outbreak ages ago whiped put my tank. Oh also run ozone Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

It's a 70 gallon tank with a 30 gallon sump got 3 large power heads and return from sump. The fireball dwarf angel is very territorial but have never seen him attack the tang as tang is twice the size. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

The only thing I can think of is if the fireball and blenny are teaming up and bullying the fish to death Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I know that that's why I keep manually removing the algae and have phosphate remover and being careful to not over feed. Also if it is nitrates then they are locked away in the algae and not there to harm anything Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Unless it's the green hair algae poising them for some reason? Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Also it was fine after adding to the tank and eating the green hair algae off the rocks Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I turn off the lights float the bag In the tank and slowly add tank water until it's almost replaced the water from the fish shop then add the fish and slowly put the LEDs on when it's come out of hiding after about 10 minutes Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I'm having trouble keeping tangs alive. I added a Naso tang a few weeks back and he died within in 24 hours without reason so I put it to stress. I got a kole tang on Sunday 2 days ago and now he's barely alive sat in a cave breathing heavily. There is no sign of ich or disease. I acclimated as...

He was in a tank with a lion fish ate the fish store Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

He keeps swimming into rocks and turned upside down Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

The water parameters are: Ammonia 0 Nitrates - <5 Salinity 1.024 Alk - 9 Ph-8.3 Temp 24.5 The first pic is what he looking like in the fish shop and when he is swimming around eating. I think I have found the problem I have a fireball angel that swims up to him every time the tang tries to...

I brought this tang yesturday and acclimated him and after 5 minutes his colour came back and he was happily swimming around eating the algae growing on the rock but I came home from work today and he's lying against rocks with his fins up and colour completely different. this was him happy and...
