  1. Is this bad?

    I found this worm on the side of my tank. Should I remove it or just let it be? Any advice is appreciated.
  2. Fish fighting

    I have a cherub angel that is bullying my latest addition, a 6-Line wrasse. I've tried rearranging the live rock and leaving the lights off. He seems relentless on seek-&-destroy mode. If anyone has some other ideas, please let me know.
  3. 36 gallon... where to go from here?

    Hi all, I have a 36 gallon front bow. It has 40lbs of LR, an Eshopps hang-on skimmer and a Tetra hang-on carbon filter. The lighting is a single strip fluorescent tube light (which may be upgraded if need be). I had a crash (Oodinium outbreak) in it a few weeks ago. I am going to be doing a few...
  4. Snowflake transfer?

    Hi Guys, So I was looking to add a snowflake eel to my tank in the next few weeks and it dawned on me that it may be problematic after the acclimation process is done to actually get said eel into my tank. My thoughts were to use the 5 gallon bucket I use for water changes for the acclimation...
  5. Oodinium: Tips for removal & a substrate change?

    So, I had a clownfish that had a parasite on it a few weeks ago. I wasn't sure if it was either Ick, Brooklynella or Oodinum. After describing the symptoms to the people at my LFS, they sold me a treatment for Oodinuim. I preformed the treatment as the instructions directed and preformed a few...
  6. Ick remedy question???

    Hi, I have a clownfish that appears to have early stages of ick on it's side. My LFS sold me Instant Ocean Lifeguard. I have some questions about the instructions that may sound dumb but I wanted to be safe rather then sorry... I have 36gal front bow with a Tetra Whisper power filter & an...
  7. HELP!!! New Sailfin Blenny on his way out

    Hi Guys, I purchased a Sailfin Blenny on Wed. He seemed fine after acclimation. Today I get home from work and he's laying awkward with his face towards the rock and his breathing is labored. I went to touch him with a net and he darted into a crevasse in live rock. He seems to let the current...
  8. Coral Banded Shrimp - Molting

    Hi, I have a Coral Banded Shrimp in my 36gal front bow. I did a water change over the weekend. It just so happened the water change coincided with a full moon. This morning I woke up to discover he had molted. I was nervous at first because all I saw was a claw laying on the substrate. I then...
  9. Protein Skimmer question?

    Question, I just installed an Eshopps hang-on Protein Skimmer. I set everything up according to the directions (which were poor). It seems to be operating as it should but the return is producing a lot of micro-bubbles. Is that normal? This is the first time I've ever used a protein skimmer...
  10. Condy advice?

    Hi, I have a 36 gallon FOWLR that has a half dozen turbo snails, a dozen or so blue leg hermit crabs and an ocellaris clown. The tank is about 2 months "old". I recently added two condy anemones. I only have a full florescent bulb but the woman who sold them to me told me they don't require...
  11. 30 gallon - done cycling... now?

    Hi, I'm new to the hobby. I have a 30 gallon tank with 40lbs of live rock and crushed coral as my substrate. The tank has just finished cycling and I am anxious (but patient) to start adding critters/fish. My goal is to have a fuzzy dwarf lion and a few tank mates. My question is who/what to...
  12. Anemones for fish/live rock tank?

    Hi, Noob here. I am setting up a 30gal tank for fish & live rock (not a reef tank) and wanted to have the whole clown fish/anemone symbiotic relationship. I was wondering what kind of anemone (if any) were suited for these conditions?
