    Salt

    Not that I have a choice since there are no salt mixes available to me here (mactan island, philippines), but I have used nothing but ocean water going straight to my tank, I hit the water at least twice a week and bring home 15 gallons each time and add it right in. Never had any problems at...

    Alveopora Question and Help...

    Since you had done a water change and disturbed the sandbed, the "swelling" of the coral's tissue could be just a "flushing" reaction by the coral to being in "different" water. I think it is more of an acclimation reaction again and not something that I would be overly concerned with. A few...

    UV Sterilizer......pros and cons ?

    I believe this whole conversation is based upon those who wish to fix the problem by going after what is a result and not a cause, fix the causes and you fix the results. Green water is a result, find its cause, which has been explained extremely well by liveforphysics, fix that, and the result...

    UV Sterilizer......pros and cons ?

    Since it was asked, here is my opinion on UV units, and for those that seem to have misunderstood some observations about the Ich parasite, this Marine Ich page should provide answers to some of the perceptions about this parasite. Hope it is of use. Chuck

    new clownfish concern

    Clownfish will pick an "area" to host (hang around in) as part of their natural behaviour just as they do with an anemone. I did not see any mention that you used a quarantine procedure for this fish which is a critical step after the purchase of any creature to avoid introducing pathogens...

    Foxface Disease - Please help ID (Photo)

    As noted, bacterial infections would now be my big concern (other than it needing a larger tank), that and if it keeps sleeping within range of a coral capable of stinging it, it could be an ongoing battle which the fish will eventualy lose. You might need to move the torch coral and replace it...

    Foxface Disease - Please help ID (Photo)

    I would have to suspect a coral sting still, no other inhabitants that you have could mark the fish as such. Does the foxface sleep or have a favorite hiding spot that would be very near any of the corals capable of stinging? Looking at your tank, which is awesome by the way. It looks like that...

    Foxface Disease - Please help ID (Photo)

    Being put into a new environment, I would suspect abrassion damage or most likely being stung / bitten by another creature. Notice that all the damage is near the tail fin, and knowing that alot of species will "fan" their tails at intrudors or anything they feel is being aggressive, I suspect...

    Coral ID help please...

    Actualy, with some of the larger polyp species such as yours, simply very gently touching it or removing it into the air for 30 seconds will cause it to withdraw its tissue which may reveal its skeletal details long enough to get a decent photo of it for reference, being able to see its septa...

    Coral ID help please...

    I agree fully about trying to ID a coral by a photo, it is as stated, all but impossible, the coral genus photo ID link I put together is meant only to narrow down such a search to the least amount of possibilities, from there, then coral skeletal details will be needed to have any hope of...

    Fish Disease ID and Treatments

    Thanks! will see if I can incorporate them into it since the more information the better. And after reading through that thread, I would have to agree that it was a parasitic "pod", the strings/tails are a very good indication. It also seems that the tang was also dealing with other parasites at...

    Strange Critter Identification

    Sorry, but for me, its all but impossible to tell what they could be other than just "worms", a much closer and in focus photo would be needed to go beyond guesses. This hitch hiker ID page may be of use to you. Chuck
