    Powder blue tang ??

    while notorious for ich, as is most of the genus, it is not a mandatory sentence. if prophylactically treated appropriately, then the fish will be ich-free and never show symptoms unless entered into a system where you have not quarantined and the parasite has been allowed to enter. there's no...

    Powder blue tang ??

    just wanted to be sure anyone reading this understood that you obviously still have marine ich in the tank if you never did anything about it. simply because all your fish are asymptomatic does not mean it is not present. a stressful incident or fluctuating parameters or missed meal could...

    Too sick. & thin to ignore !

    to minimize risk it would be best to buy from a seller that will quarantine the fish for you and better yet conduct prophylaxis on a specimen like the para/acantharus species where we find some of these maladies so prevalent. there are more and more sellers coming forward with wonderful...

    i have a few of their products and all are great. i had a gripe against their ATO peristalic pump about a year ago because of how loud it was. they have since upgraded to a DC stepper motor now and new housing and it is nearly silent. the quietest ATO pump i've ever used. they are constantly...

    like clock-work, every night, the blue linckias will gather together. it isn't always the same spot but often this is one of their favorite locations for whatever reason. makes for a wonderful display if you sneak a flash photo in:

    really like this piece. the polyp extension is seen in light blue and the body purple - the contrast is exquisite. kind of can tell what i'm talking about in the video.

    howdy! i don't have any coral in the display right now. i'm growing everything out to a colony size before placing in display. these frags were from frags in the 50g frag tank that was too full in the fish room. video a few pages back of that one i think.

    stuff has been growing pretty darn fast and it was time to make some frags. the first of which for the new frag show-tank. unfortunately, a failed timer led to an overextended bayer dip and the frag's colors washed out and you can see the flesh coming off two frags. thankfully two days later, i...
