I can't find any stores in my area that sell Selcon. I can buy it online but it will take a few days to arrive and I'd like to get it sooner. Anyone know of any chains that would sell it (other than Petco)?? Are there other vitamins that are more readily available that are good to help with...

I came home from work today and found my yellow tang had a reddish rash all over the rear of his body and he's swimming kinda funny. He just keeps darting back and forth and then hiding. This morning when I left he was fine and had all of his bright color - now he's pale and rashy. Nothing...

About to start adding cleanup crew critters. I notice that online when you get them shipped to you they come in large numbers. How do you go about adding them to your tank? What I mean is, is it safe to add 10 crabs, shrimp, snails or whatever at a time to my tank? Or is it better to just...

Here are the newest additions to my tank: a coral beauty and a green spotted puffer. Both are extremely active so it's hard to get a good shot - so this is the best I could do. I have read in a few places that the puffer could nip at the fins of some of the other fish - but so far he hasn't...

Finally got around to taking a few pics. Here's a pic of my scooter blenny popping up to say hello. He was very shy for about 2 weeks and would only eat algae off of the live rock. But lately he has been a very agressive eater - taking both brine shrimp and flakes with his tank mates. I also...

I was at the LFS a few days ago and was just browsing for about 5 minutes. All the sudden behind my back I heard a splat noise. One of the huge koi in a FW tank along the wall had tried to make a run for it!! He managed to jump out of the tank and was now flopping away on the floor! As he...

I bought 2 turbo snails this weekend. They were very active at the LFS (moving along the glass, etc). I acclamated them to my tank just as I have done to all my fish. I floated the bag on top of the tank for about 30 minutes and then began adding small amounts of my tank water to the bag. I...

My tank has been cycling for 3-4 weeks. The only things I have in my tank other than LR and substrate (crushed coral) are 2 damsels. I have noticed in the past few days some white spots on the tail of one of my damsels. I can't recall if these spots were there when I first got the fish or...

Got home from work today and there was some white fungus on one of my pieces of LR. None of the remaining LR seems to have it - but I swear it was not there when I left for work this morning. The rest of the LR is just coated in brown algae like it shoud be....Here are two pics. Anyone know...

So assuming that all goes well and I can add fish in a few weeks that brings up the next question: What fish should I get? Can anyone suggest some fish/invertabrates that are good for a rookie like myself? I'd like my fish to (obviously) live together without killing each other - with some...

OK so here's what I have so far.... 55 gal. tank, Emperor 400 filter, 25 lbs live rock, crushed coral base. I set the tank up 3 weeks ago. I put the live rock in 3 days after I set it up along with 2 raw shrimp. Dude at the local Petco said that it should be safe to take out the shrimp and...

I'm new to this saltwater stuff and I just set up my tank about a week ago. My goal is to set it up as a FOWLR tank. It's a 55 gal. and I've got an Emperor 400 filter and an Aquatic Gardens 200 watt heater. I have the salinity level at 1.021 and the temperature at 78 and now it's time to add...
