Hi all Thanks for your replies, sorry to say he didn't make it! He was in QT, so only decor was plastic tube to hide in etc. I was very sad, such a lovely fish, I have no idea what it was and won't know now either.... Thanks again

yeah I'll try

Hi all... Knowing this is the best place for advice and all... I have an orange spot Goby in QT at the moment, just noticed that at the base of his tail where it rests on the floor, is like a red sore, almost an ulcer? it wasn't there I am sure when we put him in two weeks ago.... He is...

OK, I have seaweed select? but I can get some more Nori and try that

Hi all, We've just bought a lawnmower blenny and he is happy swimming, perching etc in the QT tank... however, a question, being as he is in QT, what can we feed him, I know I should have thought of this before as I know he'll eat algae etc, but the QT only has very minor amount of algae on...

Hi ya No major problems to be honest. It was more a case of managing the water levels, which are now all ok, phosphate was highish but that's fine also now. We quarantine everything for four weeks before putting it in the main display and that has really helped. The corals were not doing...

Hi all I've not posted in a long time - busy and all that but have been catching up recently on some posts and thought I'd add some (not very good, the flash makes the tank look dirty) but up to date pictures of our tank.. It's roughly 130 uk Gallon with sump, with over head 4 x T5 and also 4...

Hi ya.. err no not really I can't see whether you Puffa's spots are raised as the ones on my tang are like little bobbles if that makes sense. I'm going to get a picture later so hopefully someone will recognise them.

Hi ya I'll try and get some pics later if he'll stay still long enough. Water params are all 0, water has a 30% change every week.

Hi all Can anyone help... We have a lipstick tang in quarantine at the moment, he's been there 5 weeks. We were going to move him to the main display tank after 4 weeks but noticed two white round spots on his left pectoral fin, these have got slightly bigger but don't seem to be affecting...

hi Thanks.. I don't know about the dinos as mine is more red than brown, however it does have air bubbles and returns within 12 hours of me scraping the lot off. I have carbon and phosphate remover, calc = 430 and KH = 8 I will try reducing the lights for a week and see how I go... If it...

Yes the dreaded Cyano and Hair Algae.... Our Quarantine tank is the culprit. Now baring in mind that there is only a sun coral and a branching hammer head in quarantine at the moment.. We are battling with Algae. Readings are all 0 INCLUDING phosphate! I have two different sorts of...

Hi there We've just seen them for sale in our lfs for the first time we are in the UK, the lfs rate them and I must admit their tanks look crystal clear etc. However after doing some research alot of people do not rate them and think they are a waste of money. Has anyone got one or used one...

We had the same problem.. we also use Rowaphos in a sock in the sump now. Also rinsing the food before feeding helps....

LOL Niko! what a steal... might as well of given it to you...:grinyes:

Hi ya I was going to say the same thing, Nitrites are high.. however not sure why your other fish have not been affected though.. I would do a water change pretty quick to get your nitrite down and monitor the water again before adding any more fish.. Also if it was me, I wouldn't add three...

Ok guys a few more pics... We had the diatom bloom! And now it's all stable we moved over the rest of the rock, the few corals we have the shrimps and the Mandarin, unfortunately one of the cleaner shrimps didn't make it, I think he went into shock and didn't really recover.. shame.. So a...

Hi thanks for that Just another question do you use the water from your main tank when setting up the QT? or fresh water and the sponge you had in the sump?

We just wanted to see what everyone elses opinions were on Quarantining. Having learnt the hard way and having to break down a tank due to ick and as we have the new tank now, obviously we will be quarantining everything that goes into the new tank. We wanted to know what you all did with your...

yeah could be archer772... look like that pic..
