  2. Free Hippo Tang - Suffolk County

    Free Hippo Tang - Stony Brook, Suffolk County Long Island Medium size about 6”-8” long, fat and healthy. Has never had health issues or diseases and may have been one of the early tank born hippos (I don’t remember). I had plenty of hippos before this one and this one seems indestructible...

  5. Bleaching pocillopora

    My pocillopora has become severely bleached over the past month. The polyps are still bright green but the body is white. I am not sure if I have too much light, or too little light. I think it could be too much, but I'm not sure. I have a 90g tank with 2 200w LED one on either side of the tank...
  6. Best light to grow cheato

    I went to Home Depot, and bought a 5000k LED bulb. I think it's 60w, maybe 40w. I also picked up a metal reflector, also sold at Home Depot. Find it with the work lights. This fits perfectly on my sump and I am constantly cutting back the cheato. I have live rock in the sump and it has no algae...
  7. Treating Ich in a Reef Tank

    okay, i did some more shopping, i can get the Vertex 130 and the Magus curve 7 for the same price on eBay @ $265, the vertex is a little cheaper actually. I have researched each of these skimmers, and it seems that the vertex is the better buy and many people use them on 90 gallon tanks. I know...
  8. Treating Ich in a Reef Tank

    Thank you for your advice, I know I need to keep them healthy and stress free etc. I explained that my water quality is not up to par. I am trying to get advice on a new skimmer. Everyone has just ignored my last two questions on skimmers. Vertex Omega 130 @$319.00 Ebay: $280.00 or Bubble...
  9. Treating Ich in a Reef Tank

    okay, I've narrowed down my skimmer choices. Vertex Omega 130 @$319.00 Ebay: $280.00 or Bubble Magus Curve 5 @$209.00 or Bubble Magus Curve 7 @$299.00 So which one should it be, I want the Vertex, but I'm not sure if the 130 is enough for the 90g and the omega 150 is just too expensive. The...
  10. Treating Ich in a Reef Tank

    I haven't had the time to give an update, but i am happy to say that as of right now I am rich free. after about 2 days of herbtana treatment, the ice seemed to get worse. one of my lyretails was starting to sit near the bottom and i could tell it was not doing well. I then decided to switch...
  11. Treating Ich in a Reef Tank

    Thanks for the input. I definitely agree that moving them stresses them even more, usually killing them. I do have a uv sterilizer, however the bulb died and I could never got a new one. I was also skeptical about it and I didn't think it helped. I have to figure out what bulb to get, I have a...
  12. Treating Ich in a Reef Tank

    I just noticed this morning that some of my fish have marine ich. This is not my first time treating ich, I believe i have tried just about every method imaginable. I first noticed 3 spots on my Yellow tang, so i immediately looked for the source. It seems my Male Lyretail anthia as well as the...
  13. LFS in Suffolk

    Hey, I'm looking for a good fish store close by in Suffolk, I heard about island fish and reef, and was wondering if they are a store or do they just do maintenance? It's hard to tell, because I can't find anything about their store. Anyone been there?
