    Chevron Tang with mouth problem

    I am just sick to see my mature Chevron Tang now suddenly with a problem with his mouth. It is enlarged and he seems not to be able to close it. He wants to eat and chases food but doesn't take it in. What's going on? I will try to get a pic.

    Leather Corals losing lobes

    Having babies! Rubberbanding to a piece of rubble worked well for me.

    What type of carbon?

    I am looking to make a bulk purchase of carbon for my sump filter but am now noticing there are different types. Bituminous, Lignite, ROX 0.8. What is the difference? What type of carbon do you recommend? Reference link below... Bulk packaged carbon for aquariums - English

    Tang harassing new addition

    The CBB is actually quite small (about 2.5in). I haven't added any live pods for months. I am trying mysis and tiggerpods as food. I will feel even better if he gives them a try soon. He did poke at the mysis at the LFS so I am hopeful.

    Tang harassing new addition

    Well, day three and pretty happy to see the CBB cruising the tank picking at the rocks and more or less accepted by the Tang. He still gets a little chased but the Tang isn't nearly as aggressive so I think all is well. Going to have to stock more reef pods and hope the CBB will start eating...

    High wattage heater suggestions?

    Well I guess I am with you Mike! The $500 i will save can go to other more fun stuff. I am going with the 800w Finnex with digital controller and see how that does. I will have the option of running off my Aquadyne Controller or separately.

    AWWWWWW Tank Crash!

    Very sorry to hear. I travel a lot and am always scared upon returning. I am trying to have someone check in on my tank at least every other day when no one is home. I know that doesn't help you but i want to wish you the best with your recovery.

    High wattage heater suggestions?

    Yes I did figure that out awhile back and spread them better in the sump. I think now I just don't have enough wattage especially when the house cools appreciably. I think I need to get them on a better controller too.

    High wattage heater suggestions?

    Okay gonna go with a Finnex. Probably a pair of 800w. We lose power more than the average and these should eliminate my worries and struggle to have to keep the house at room temp during an outage.

    Tang harassing new addition

    Yeah, definitely one of the most trying experiences catching a captive fish. Back from pizza and the lights are out, and all is calm. I appreciate everyone's feedback. Tomorrow is another day and hopefully I can start focusing on his diet... And the Mandarin's too! Oh yeah the pizza and vino...

    Strange Dussimier Tang Activity

    Yeah me too on the pegs. The only way to IMO. Lots of advantages such as flow under rocks, sturdier reef, more views underneath, easier to build on as rocks can be oriented just about any way you want. I have two peg racks that I could move a whole section of my reef to position to my liking...

    Tang harassing new addition

    Okay sitting here watching football and the fishtank all day and there is a bit of good news... the Tang seems to be backing off a bit and letting the CBB to leave his corner to visit the nearby rocks near his local but only the top half the of the tank. The other good news is that the CBB is...

    Tang harassing new addition

    Thanks Blue... I want to share your optimism. I will try to be patient. Don't know if I can catch the Tang but if this keeps up I will try and send him to the sump. He won't like it there it isn't pretty. The poor CB is not leaving the upper back corner at all now.
