I love my LMB...he just sits and watches :D But once he learned about the algae sheets, it was hard to get him to clean the algae off the rocks LOL

I don't see the responses that way (except for one or 2). Most responses are giving suggestions (which he did in fact ask for) on how to make things easier. But definite +1 on canister filters being useless in the hobby -- while they can be used successfully in the hobby, they tend to be...

I did a FW dip once. I don't remember how, but I know that I had to match the temp and ph to the tank. I ended up buying some ph up to match it, and got the temp just right. The black ich on my fish did indeed drop off, but he did not survive the stress. I think I left him in there for maybe...

Are you topping off w/ saltwater or freshwater? Your lfs' saltwater should be on the mark at around 1.024-1.026, and if your salinity is creeping up, either you're not topping off, or your topping off w/ saltwater. Also, did you calibrate your refractometer? If it's none of the above, I'd...

I've know little fish to wedge themselves in rock crevices. In fact, I ended up buying a rock w/ mushrooms because the goby i wanted would not leave the rock for anything. Even after we took the rock out and put it in a container of water, he would not leave it. It was a day or so after...

Some here have had success fishing for them -- I don't know what type of hook they used, though. I've had success catching my kole tang using a simple trap-and-fishline technique. Took a week to get the tang to trust the container with food in it before I sat far away, waited for him to go in...

It looks crooked........:11: :mrgreen: Looks like your tank's got its own alarm system...mayhaps to keep a certain tall 4-pawed friend from licking? LOL Hahah..I always thought the same thing.

+1 2xai....if it's empty, go ahead and add enough rodi or distilled until it's the right level. If you have livestock, you shouldn't lower it too fast, although, fish can usually handle a quick drop in salinity (inverts and corals won't though). Raising salinity rapidly is harder for them to...

Ok, ok....I totally LOL'd :mrgreen:

I doubt it's voltage if the inverts and corals seem fine. But if you just got them, it's possible they just couldn't handle the move, like the LFS said. How did you acclimate? Were they eating at the lfs? Unfortunately, it happens. If you continue to get fish that die, maybe it's the lfs...

Welcome to the site! That's cool you got a pic of all of them schooling together :D Maybe they all think they're chromis?

I only see 1 powerhead pointing up. You'll want 2 powerheads pointing down just enough to graze the sand bed without disturbing the sand. You have a HOB filter? Hopefully it's making enough ripples on the surface for O2 exchange.

Oh, yeah, that's definitely a lot of food. I would use just a quarter of the cube, if that even. What I do is take a bunch of cubes, cute them up to smaller pieces, then store then back in a container. I do that for 2 weeks' worth of feeding, so that way, I really only get messy twice a month.

Your girl is totally planning her big swim day in there.... "Let's see....if I push this bench there, and stack the chairs, I could totally life that lid and jump on in.....Where's Wally? I need a lookout"

Well, wrasse aside, that's overstocked already with 14 fish. Trim it back to 10 fish, and you should be fine. Remember to go slow.

Wow...big guy...looks like it from Google, but not sure. Hope you weren't part of that big water main break last week!

I'd skip the starfish if you have nitrates. They're very sensitive to nitrates.

Did he poop that, or is it looking like some kind of worm/parasite?

He should eat them. It's damned if you do, damned if you don't time -- leave him, he might starve to death. Move him, he might die from the stress or if he survives the move, at least he'll have pods to eat and hopefully fatten him up. But wait, is the 10g already cycled? Anyone else in the...
