    Only new fish dying...

    I have a new 40gal tank I switched my fish over into after a month of cycling with 40lbs of cured live rock. The temp and salinity were the same. The fish were happy in there and then I added 4 fish over a weeks time. All of the new fish slowly died one at a time over a month or so. All of the...

    Female clown making male turn pale

    Hi guys, I have had my clowns for over a year and the one is clearly the female (she's bigger, meaner, darker on her back, etc) they went from a 12gal to a 40gal with a slow transition and were fine for about 2 weeks but now she's getting really aggressive and at feeding time she gets nasty and...

    Sumps for dummies

    I'm planning on a 29 gal soon and I'm tired of lugging a 5 gal water jug around and mixing water in a bucket... I heard a sump makes it easier to performed PWC but I can't get a grasp on the concept.. Can someone break it down for me?

    My goby's cheek is bright red

    Only one side.. Is it a scratch from shooting under the live rock or the coral banded shrimp? He doesn't go by the torch and is still acting normal and eating.

    My goby's cheek is red?!

    Only one side.. He never goes by my torch, maybe it was the shrimp? Or scratching himself when he shoots under my live rock? He is still acting normal and eating. Please help :(

    Does this sponge look okay?

    And I'm starting to get little ones all over. This is good right? The big ones a little brownish because of algae I believe.

    Spot on my clownfish..

    It looks transparent... Like a lighter spot.. He's a healthy guy but I don't know what this is. The female picks on him a little, but just nudging. No hard bullying. (Top fish)

    Aggressive Coral banded shrimp

    Hi all, So I noticed he is aggressive at feeding time and tries to pinch at the other fish (especially my watchman I think because he can reach him best) then he chases him when he sees him out sometime.. He actually got him once but no damage done. Is this normal? Also he stopped eating which...

    Feather duster in a 12gal?

    Bad idea or should I be okay? I want to add one more piece of coral to my tank but I'm not entirely familiar with its requirements. My SG is 1.024 and I'm slowly working it up with PWC.

    Brown algae that relocates?

    Hmm... So it started off on the floor of my 12gal tank.... And now it's gone and at the top of my glass... I just started adding soft corals (lightly stocked) within the past few months and supposedly this is something all reef tanks go through so I've heard. Is this normal that its moving and...

    Dosing a 12gal with iodine?

    Max capacity for a 12 gal?

    I have a pair of clowns, and a watchman goby. All get along but I was interested in a green clown goby.. I know they only get an inch. Does this seem like too much?

    Female clown turning darker

    As SOON as I put my clowns in my larger tank i noticed the female was progressively getting darker. In the smaller tank she was beginning to get too aggressive to the point of almost killing him. Is it possible she accepted him and is maturing and pairing with him? She still chases him a little...

    Clown trying to mate/pair with YWG?

    It this unusual? His girlfriend is in time out and I guess he's lonely? Should I let him take out his loneliness on this poor YWG or do you think it's stressing this little guy. http://youtu.be/sbtej7y0AKw

    Reintroducing clownfish to eachother

    So I had a pair of davinci clownfish that got along great and then after a month of getting along, the female was getting more aggressive and one day the male was hiding in the rocks and the female wouldn't let him out to eat and she was forcing him down. I realized enough's enough (meanwhile I...

    Whats the Anemone for my davinci?

    Hey! I'm looking for the perfect anemone for my 12g tank to go with my two Davinci clowns. They're the only fish I have, I do have two tiny blue legged hermit crabs however but the anemone would be up on live rock where they're unable to climb (I've witnessed their inability to climb it). At...

    My fish slowly keep dying :(

    I have a 29gal with what was 6 small assortment of fish that got along and was approved by a highly rated fish store (tetra, platy, and a shark/catfish guy). However, after having them about 2 month, one by one they are slowly dying off :( the shark was the happiest, energetic, most peaceful...

    Worried about clownfish bully :(

    I have two clowns, ones noticeably larger than the other and I came to the conclusions she's definitely the female and my little guys the male. He's already done the shiver to her to show his "stepping down" and they've been great since. About a month later, she's been relentlessly chasing him...

    Whats the best nano? (12gal)

    I want a good tank that's appropriate for saltwater because I want a little bit of a bigger tank. I have a biorb which is really neat looking but hard to see the fish sometimes. They are happy in their tank but I want to give them a little more room. Thanks!
