thanks yote! have you ever heard of an anem getting burned from a heater?

hi evreyone!! im in dire need of advice..my bubble tip appears to be disintagrating.......hes been on the move for a few days and i think he crawled across the heater because his foot is looking really bad,almost looks like it was cooked, but the tentacles are still good. our tank peramaters...

Hello all!! im finally fed up with this stupid red cyano, and id like to black out our 30 gallon. Heres the thing, were planning a move this week, just across town and my theory is.... 1) scrub evreything down (2) do the move (3) fill the tank up with 50% new water (4) then start the blackout...

hi folks!! just a question on quarantening a scooter blenny, we will be seting up a 75 gallon reef, we have 2 clowns and a scooter blenny and we noticed some white stringy poo coming out of the female clown so we would like to treat all the fish before they go into their new home. All he eats is...

try putting a small mirror right beside or in your nem it worked like`a charm for us

my best advice is put a small round mirror maybe 3-4 inch diameter somewhere really close to the nem so the clowns have to be in the tentacles to play in the mirror!!!worked like a charm for our stubborn clowns they loved that mirror and now they love they're nem!!! hope this helps

ya looks like ammonia burned his gills to me im affraid to say:( id double check for ammonia and nitrite,what kind of tests are you using the strips are highly inaccurate

salinity is just with a sg meter and we put a ground probe in a few monthes ago but we did get some temp spikes in the heat of the summer but the spines were falling out long before that. we were maybe thinking it is just old...we heard they dont live that long anyways

can you see any darkness in the gills? looks like its not getting enough oxygen

yep its the same one all right!! i dont know what to think...he seems fine but has no spines amonia is 0 trites 0 and trates are under 10 we have a skimmer and a canister that only has carbon and rubble in it. theres pleanty of coraline in there but we have seen him eat cheato but he eats algae...

Also our other urchin is now looking sick.. has white spots and loosing spines. We are removing it to a hospital tank but our spineless looks ok - no spines but eats and is active. Any suggestions?

nice pump will be getting one soon i think

cool!! how big of a pump would you recomend for a system of this size and what brand?

i guess drilling is the safest way to avoid a flood? how reliable are overflow boxes? i have heard mixed reviews

has anyone had any luck reviving an urchin that has lost his spines? our long spine has been missing all of them for monthes now and hey are not growing back. maybe because of trates....around 10 now, do they grow back or is there anything we can do?these are before and after pics
