    Hi guys, does anyone know what these full hot pinks are called? They're much brighter than any other zoa or coral I've ever seen. They're from Cairns, Australia

    Chromis question.

    I had 3 but 1 was slightly smaller than the other 2, he got hassled to death. Try to find similar sized fish. The remaining 2 still have this problem but I added more love rock and hiding places and they seem fine now. However this is in a 40 gallon which initially had very little live rock.

    Chromis question.

    +1 on the pecking order and I don't like their look under straight actinics. But Very peaceful, easy, cheap and playful fish.

    Closed brain coral?

    Hi I recently purchased a piece of live rock which had coral, sponges and lots of other life on them. When I hit the blue lights I noticed this coral was glowing green. I've searched all over the net and am thinking this may be closed brain coral? I have a FOWLR tank and was wondering if this...

    Remora pro pump?

    There's mods available online that show you how to increase the cup height especially when upgrading the pump. If you have that issue and can't find the link I can post it. AquaC also sell a larger cup size too. After lots of research I've gone with the aquaclear70 pump. This produces 50gph more...

    Pleco upside down Please Help!

    Yeah I wouldn't think it could be the prime either but I've read a lot of other posts online saying its what happens especially in a small tank. Although they don't die of the chemical but the reaction the water has to it. As its only a small tank and I was doing regular water changes I've added...

    Pleco upside down Please Help!

    I think I found the problem and sadly it's my fault. I had added more than the recommended dosage of prime. As my tank is only 20 gallons, even just the bottom of the cap would be too much for a water change, this in turn had depleted the oxygen. I feel terrible. I've just completed a large 60%...

    Pleco upside down Please Help!

    Hi spiketooth I do have some live plants and also some driftwood, I've attached a pic. I hadn't checked those before, the ph had been stable at 6.8. But I'll definitely check that out, I had been testing for everything in the api master test kit daily. I've attached a pic of the current set up...

    Pleco upside down Please Help!

    Thanks alyxx. Bad news though, my other pleco just died:-( Took the first one back to the lfs and they said they might have an issue cause the fish travelled far. They've given me a store credit. I've checked and rechecked the water again and again and everything is perfect. I'm going to pick...

    Pleco upside down Please Help!

    Hey thanks for the reply. Yeah one pleco dead but one left. I just did a 50% water change and also lowered the temperature to 24 degrees Celsius. I've been scouring the net trying to figure out if I did anything wrong cause I don't want the last fish (the other bristle nose pleco) to die! I...

    Pleco upside down Please Help!

    He's dead :-( The other guy looks well though and I've noticed is much fatter. Should I add an air stone? I had already lowered the water level slightly to create more ripples in case that was it. I've also just completed a 50% water change. I was thinking of adding some cardinal tetras on the...

    Pleco upside down Please Help!

    Hi guys, Well after thoroughly fish less cycling my tank for 6 weeks, I added my first fish- 2 bristlenose plecos 4 days ago. One of them is very healthy hiding during the day and swimming and feeding at night, the other however is lying on his back on the substrate not moving at all. Yesterday...

    Hello from Sydney

    Awesome advice, thanks again for all your help Cronus! :-)I won't worry about the extra light and ill keep adding prime. Once I see the ammonia and nitrites down and clear out the nitrate I'm looking to add a bristle nose catfish/pleco as a first fish to help with the algae too. Cheers

    Hello from Sydney

    Hey thanks so much guys and thanks for the advice also. Sorry for the late reply! I've used seachem prime prior to adding any water and had been doing a 20% water change every week but now more often as my ammonia had recently risen. I've also used the api stress zime but I've heard...
