Hi everyone. I have a two boxfish in my aquarium amongst other fish and I noticed that my long horn boxfish starting hiding almost all of the time. I then observed the fish for about a half hour and realized that the other boxfish (a yellow boxfish) was taking bites out of the bottom of the...

Can anyone tell me what this strange pod (second and third picture) is that suddenly showed up in my aquarium? I am not sure if I should remove it. I recently lost three fish after soemone else took care of my tank while I was out of town. Not sure what the cause but the pod and the white shell...

Unfortunately mine died. I have tried two Koran's and never been successful. I probably won't try again given how expensive they are. I have no problem with any of my other fish, occasional on my tang (to be expected) but it goes away by itself. I feed the fish forzen: mysis, marine cuisine...

Hi All, I was feeding my fish this evening and saw what looks like a split fin on my clown fish. It is a perfectly rectangular hole. I don't think it is any type of disease and the fish acts completely normal but wanted to get your opinions. All other fish are healthy. I ahve included a picture...

I am currently using an 18 gallon Rubbermade / Sterilite container that I bought at Home Depot to store my new water prior to a change. I let this water sit and get it to the right temperature prior to a change. I have been using this container for the past few months. I noticed however that...

Thank you all. I have decided to leave everything alone.

Hi All, I have had my 90 gallon tank up for about a year. It is an aragonite sand base. All of my fishes are happy and healthy but I noticed that there is a corner of the tank where the sand is all cleared out. My clown fish has been sweeping and moving all the sand with his mouth out of...

Thanks All, it ended up that all my filters were clogged. An expensive fix but now I can make many gallons in a day.

Hi All, I have an RO/DI unit that I bought at a LFS about six months ago. The unit used to product about 5 gallons in a 24 hour period but now produces less than a gallon a day. Am I doing something wrong? Is there any way to fix the unit? Thanks, Ryan

Hi all, I bought a Koran Angelfish last week. He appears to be very active and healthy and gets along with my other fish who are all very healthy. The one thing that I noticed and concerns me a bit is that his blue color is starting to fade around his head and forward part of his body. Is he...

THanks yote, does the medication kill the live rock?

Hi All, I have a 90 gallon saltwater tank with two of the fish showing signs of a bacterial infection. About two weeks ago, the flame angel's eye started to get a white film over it. I went to the LFS and got some Melafix and Maracyn and treated the tank at their recommendation. Within...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. All the fish are doing well together and I am looking for another (as my lion eats my starter damsels - which I expected as they were only there to helped get the tank started). Here is the current load: 1 Lion 1 Foxface 1 Cardinal 1 Long Spine Sea Urchin 1...

The butterfly died, I saw him get poked by the lion and he died the next morning. You guys were right. What about a foxface? What else?

Hi all, thank you for the suggestions. We ended up getting a pearlscale butterfly and an arrow crab. They have both adjusted nicely to the aquarium and are really fun to watch. Would a pink tailed trigger be okay as a next fish. Would he eat the long-spined?

Will it even eat the long-spined (thought the spines might protect it).

Hi all, looking for a suggestion on which fish to add to my aquarium. I currently have a 90 gallon which has been up and running for about 3.5 months. All levels are great and have had the following living in it for about two months: 1 - Lion 1 - Cardinal 3 - Damsels (these fish were to get...

Thank you both for the suggestions. Unfortunately the fish died today :(. Any suggestions on a good and "sturdy" tang replacement?

I have a Powder Brown Tang which had Ich last week. I treated the fish and it cleared up however it appears that it developed what I believe is called popeye. Some history: 90 Gallon Tank with Live Rock In the process of converting bottom from crushed coral to sand. I started replacing the...
