Sorry for the mis-read. Thought it might be pun-ny. I wonder how they'll take it when I call in to work with the bad news. Probably say "That's the fourth one this week"

I don't have any vodka. All I have is tequila. Plus that's alcohol abuse. Maybe I can put it in a shot of tequila and pretend it's a worm. Eeww

I have a my royal gramma that's been in my tank now for about five years now. From what I read it's probably about that time. It goes from being stuffed behind a rock or floating up near the top. Sometimes upside down. I really don't know what to do about it. I don't have the heart to flush it...

Just to let everyone know all bodies accounted for and doing well.

While sitting at home yesterday the lights on my tank went off. No biggie power on here power off there must have tripped a breaker. Sure enough breaker was tripped at the panel, so naturally I turned it back on. As Soon as I did the kid starts yelling "there's smoke coming out of the fish...

I had a Skunk Cleaner Shrimp that just died. He was in my tank a little over a year. Does anyone know how long they are supposed to live?

well the verdict is in. I lost my first coral. All of it is gone except a little piece of the stem. I definitly have a major nitrate problem, so I decided to change a little more water weekly for awile. The way my aquarium is set up everything is built into the system, so I dont have much room...

So simple. I wish I had thougt of it. I havent seen him in awile but I think I'll give it a try and see what I can catch. Thanks

All my parameters check out fine except my nitrate level is a little high, around 40 ppm. I've always had a nitrate problem and keeping them down. I do regular water changes at least every two weeks. I buy bottled water and tested for nitrate and it is 0. All my other soft corals are doing fine...

This is all thats left.

I have a colt coral in my tank, and latley I've noticed it was a little deflated. I didn't think much about it thought maybe the destructive hermmit crabs that I need to get rid of had been crawling on it. Today I noticed that it had been breaking up into smaller pieces. Is this normal for this...

They are omnivore. my tomato clown picks at algae growing on the glass, and readily accepts spirulina flakes.

I run mine around 14 hours per day. 12hrs. because thats about a day and 2hrs because it looks so cool at night.

I have a pink toady as well. It too has some white spots on it. I also have a bunch of flat worms that my be the culprit. I don't know much about them, but did find a couple web sites and got some names. (convolutriloba retrogemma) (amphiscolops)...

the temp stays fairly steady. Being that I live in florida I keep it at 80. That is the low temp the high is usually 81.5 and that is very rare. I use a digital thermometer and a regular one to compare.
