from all the research I have done I can say that it is never safe to keep any trigger (especially a picasso or clown) together with a butterfly. even if the trigger is smaller. althought it doesn't really look like he was attacked in the photo. i agree with the previous reply. looks like a...

my puffer is still recovering from what I beleive to be a bacterial infection. he has not eaten in almost 2 weeks. he is still very active. he usually eats like a pig everyday so this really concerns me. :( how long can a sick fish go without eating?

well he is now in a Quarantine Tank. he doesn't have cloudy eye though. just really bad white blotches where it looks like his skin is being eaten away. ??? the medication that i'm using (Maracyn) claims that it doesn't affect the beneficial bacteria in your tank. though i'm switching to a...

I have a sick spiny box puffer. all of his spikes have turned completely clear and he has huge white patches covering his body, some fin rot. this has only happened once before but this is by far the worst it has ever been. I have been treating him with maracyn. it was continuing to get worse...

ok sorry if i'm posting this in the wrong section, i'm hoping someone can help me out here.... i just added a pincushion urchin to my bio cube. it's small, i'd say about 2". anyway it's been in my tank for about 2 days and it hasn't moved. i know it's not dead and no it has not dropped any...

I did use maracyn to medicate and have many times before, that has never happened.

yeah, so......does anyone else know what could have caused my water to turn brown. it still hasn't cleared up yet.

no brown algae in the tank. just brown water. i was told to use a phosphate remover to clear it up.....

yes, it was medicated. i was just remembering i had some red slime on my live rock and I scraped it off with a toothbrush. maybe that caused a bacterial bloom causing my water to turn brown???

I've never had this problem before. yesterday i came home from work and noticed that my water had turned a dark brown. so i did a 50% water change and it cleared up. then i come come today and it's exactly the same. the only thing that has changed recently with my aquarium is that I upgraded my...

never mind, I figured it out but thank you :)

is it safe to mix Mardel medications with Aquarium Pharmaceuticals? :confused:

can this red algae, (cyanobacteria) cause fish to become ill??

i will also be keeping him in a 125, as far as aggressive tank mates, I'm worried about my sailfin tang b/c he's usually a bully to all my newbies, but then he calms down after about a day. how long did yours live and how long did it take to get it to eat?

my personal opinion of the ECO-Aqualizer, (having actual experience with it) is that it's CRAP. glad it was free to try it. it's funny, when I called their customer service line to let them know I was returning it, (of course the guy had to try to back up it's claim) he said that it wasn't meant...

yeah, they actually have a 180 day money back guarantee now, but after using it for only 1 month, I have decided to return it. they claim it will reduce water changes by up to 75% and that it will prevent your fish from getting sick and I have fish right now with a slight case of fungus and my...

I have done TONS of research and I am fully aware that the moorish idol is THE most difficult fish to keep in captivity due to its feeding habits. It's extremely difficult to acclimate and start eating frozen foods, however I would like to know if anyone here has succesfully kept one and was...

yes, actually I did. and I have yet to find anyone that has actually tried it, only "testimonials" and people arguing back and forth over whether the chemistry makes any sense. *shrugs* so I figured the only way to see is to try it for myself and I did b/c it was a free offer. so far I'm not...

thanks for the link! that one looks NICE. :)

thanks for the reply. yes, I know I still have to do regular water changes. :) I bought the Eco-aqualizer. it is supposed to reduce water changes up to 75% but it's still being "tested" in my tank right now.......

I have a 125 gallon saltwater tank and I want to know from all of you out there, what is the best protein skimmer to keep my nitrates low?, or at least the top 5? I need it to fit in my sump so keep that in mind. I don't care how much it cost I just want something that is exceptional! :)

Is there any known treatment for hole in the head that works? I have seen some meds out there (such as metronidazole) but I would like to hear from someone with personal experience. thank you.

actually I only have one side of my tank covered with a glass top. I took it off before but it's been a problem keeping it off b/c my puffers and my cowfish like to spit out water when they get hungry! LOL. but I will take it off again and add another power head. does it matter that I also have...

I have a glass canopy over my tank. I will try the idea with pointing the power head to the surface. I have a canister filter that only promote surface agitation on one side of the tank. I didn't realize that made a difference in ph. do you know how that helps? just curious.... thanks for your...
