Hey, so I just got a foxface lo tonight. I thought everything was going good until my dumb ass tang decided to be brave and attack the foxface's spines. he currently has a hole in the side of his mouth. Is he gonna be alright or am I gonna be fishing for a corpse tomorrow?

I was killing apistatia with a pickling lime paste and accidentally squirted about 1 tsp of the paste into the tank. I couldnt get it out and the ph has gone from 7.9 to 8.3 in about 15 min. Can fish survive that or do i need to start dumping in vinegar. If so, how much? I got a 100 gal system.

Hey everyone, so over the past few months I've determined that my tank does amazingly better with an 11 kh and 450 calcium. Problem is I've gone through a lot of additives trying to keep it that way. -I was wondering what you thought of a 1 gallon kalk drip every other night? -How much...

hey everyone, so i finally got a tank and pump to work with. As for the sump, i'm adding a picture with the wall design. I was questioning the wall between the refuge and the pump. the reason i have the gap half way is to prevent the floating algae from flowing into the pump section although...

Hey guys!! I'm glad to report that I got a Blue Eyed Kole Tang. Unfortunately, I have never seen anything poop so much. It has chosen the right corner to leave heaping piles of poop in and I fear I may be coming into a detritus problem. What can I get that will take care of this? In my 75, I...

hey guys, I'm so freaking excited right now. 2 hours ago I struck a deal for 60lbs of live rock to start my new tank with. I've been checking craigslist every day I could for 3 months looking for a deal, so you can understand my excitement. I have so many questions. 1. I will have the rock for...

Hey guys, so one of my peppermint shrimp died today and I don't know why? All my parameters are good. I came home with a small rock covered with mushrooms from the lfs. After putting it in the tank the 2 shrimp I have flocked to it and started cleaning it off. Woke up this morning and found...

I have 2 tank raised false percula clownfish. I got them 3 weeks ago from the same tank. They tail slap at each other a little but no harm it ever done, but now they are looking really stressed. Every once in a while they will what looks like throwing up a bubble and then sucking it back in...

Hey guys, I have an Aqua C Remora thats putting off a ton of micro-bubbles. I have the surface box attached and the foam pad it comes with only stops half the bubbles. I've been putting a polishing pad in the return of the surface box which stops the bubbles. Downside is that I have to...

Hey, So I think I'm finally gonna get some fish for my tank. What I want to get is 2 false percula clowns and as many blue/green chromis as my system can handle. I'm probably not gonna be able to get the recommended 6 to make a school, but how many could I comfortably put in a 20gal. I'm...

Hey everyone, so I'm gonna be going to Virginia from Sunday till Friday. Should I feed my peppermint shrimp extra before I leave or should I just leave them. I've been putting an 1/8 cube of mysis shrimp in my tank every other to every 3 days. Basically just to give everything an extra treat...
