hey guys I was wondering if there were any teens on this site. My lfs is pissing me off b cuz they think I'm irresponsible, and they dont beleive I've been maintaining my two tanks for three years now. Dont worry I do regular water changes and I'm pretty knowledgable too.

was it a copper banded butterfly?

How long do these corals live? I have a gsp that is slowy starting to die off while the other corals r doing fine.

yep its most def because of the lighting. Try testing for phosphates and nitrates. If you do have phosphates, you could buy the phosban stuff from ur lfs. If that doesn't clear it up, how long do you have the lights on? Since u upgraded ur lighting, u dont need to have long hours. What I did was...

uhh honestly, I think that your mandarin is getting some lweft over food in the back of the tan. I dont think that a mandarin would get that obese just from pods!!! wow!!! anyways, i think that there is nothing to worry about if you dont overfeed your tank. I think that he or she will pace...

yup yup. i have experienced that too. i also bough a diamond goby and the first night i introduced it to the tank, it jumped. good thing I had a tight lid. But then he kept on jumping for about 2 weeks, and it enxded up landing in the filter, where I had to fish him out and that rteally messed...

today I just purchased a new sunclral. After acclimating to my tank, it opened up right away. So i decided to feed it. I fed each polyp individualy, but they kept on opening up again. So my question is, how will I know when to stop feeding it? Also, when I went to the lfs, I saw a dendro. I...

oh mann, that shark is a beast! I cant wait to see the finished tank!

Yeah i would stick with about 5 to 6 chromises. eight will be a little too many. I have seen some pretty big ones at my lfs so you are better off with 5 to 6. also you should stock your tank in this order: goby, yellow tang, the two perculas (at the same time), and finally the six line wrasse...

Hi I was planning on buying a suncoral, but i also heard opf dendrophylias. I would much perfer the dendros but are they hard to find? also, are they expensive? the only reason I want dendros is that they stay open during the day time hours. also, how can you tell the difference between these...

since that is a pretty small tank, the tank filter would probalby just do fine. but if you see some red slime or some diatoms, that may mean that you need more circulation. You dont want that much flow in a tank because it will basically turn into a jaccussi type thing and it will damage your...

About two days ago my diamond goby had ragged fins. I asked the local fish store to see if he had fin rot. They told me that I had nothing to worry abt because it was not cloudy or white. So I decided to wait for a couple of days and to my surprise, he completly recovered after one day! Is this...

hmm... Well I definetly see bristleworms because they don't have any antennas on them. So maybe he has fin rot... Oh no! If he does have fin rot, what should I do? I have a reef tank so I can't put that many chemicals in there.. Also I don't have a quarantine because I don't have the money for...

today when I went to go feed my tank, I noticed that my diamond goby had ragged tail fins. This happened overnight, and I dont have any tank mates that would pick or nip fins. I have one skunk cleaner shrimp and a firefish. Thats it. also the goby seems to be very jumpy at night. when no one is...

Okay if the water temp got down that much, I would expect one fish dead but with most of them alive. Also since the metabolism gets slow.... I guess that there was no ammonia no nitrite but with a higher nitrate reading. Maybe like at around 30 if it already had 20. I'm a newbie so I might be off.

well I don't think that he is into fish keeping so much that he would come here... But I'll give it a try to see if he will. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a disorder. He's just spoiled rotten by his parents. He basically gets anything he wants even if he is killing all of these fish.

okay for some of you guys who didnt read part one of this thread, I basically have a very irresponsible friend who is trying to keep fish. He has a 50 gallon tank with two oscars and he only changes the water once in every six months. He also has guppies inside of this glass of water with no...

unfortunatly, after stirring up the mulm in the filter, there was a small ammonia spike. About 5 and it killed my frogspawn coral, and nearly killed my firefish. Strangley, the diamond goby seemed fine

today my goby is finally in the tank sifting the sand out in the open. He is even starting to take interest in the mysis shrimp that I dropped into the tank. Hopefully he will start eating soon. Also do you any of you guys know a way to keep the goby from jumping into my filter? I have a...

thanks niko. but I finally got it out! yay! ugh took me like 3 hours! oh and my goby is an orange spotted goby too what a coincidence! I have a question. Is it going to jump like this all of the time?or is it just doing this because it is new to the tank? I put plastic wrap on top of the filter...
