    Sick Midas Blenny

    There are no ulcers. I am not sure if the gut looks distended or not, there is a lump there and the body shrunk around it and it is dark in there. So it does not look like an empty belly. I can try garlic, is there some specific that I have to get from LFS? or does cooking garlic power works...

    Sick Midas Blenny

    I looked closer and observe it better today. It was excited to see the mysis shrimp but lost interest after 2-3 bites. I can see the gut area is dark and has irregular surface (hard to describe, kind of like bumps sticking out from stomach area that are not bones) I do have an hospital tank...

    Sick Midas Blenny

    I have had this Midas Blenny since April, and it has been doing well (eating and swimming). Recently I noticed it is getting quite skinny, even I feed the tank regularly and all the tank mates are plump and well. It is not being bullied either, it just does not seem to have much of an appetite...

    Air bubbles in Cynarina?

    I have got this cynarina for a couple months, and there seems to be some air bubbles inside its polyp starting about a couple weeks in my tank. Is there something I should do about it? It seems ok otherwise. Do I need to worry about it? I don't think the bubbles gottem more numerous or bigger...

    Whats the most expensive fish you've bought?

    Oh yeah, can't forget firefish. Had 2 purple firefishes and both died ($60 total). I am done with firefish, too fragile for me. Too bad too, I love the purple ones. Like the Helfrich's also, but a little out of my range :)

    Reef Surgery

    I got a question about removing the hydroids, since I did not go to the last meeting (sound like I should have :( ) I have some on my rocks too. You said you used a screwdriver, did you just pry out chunks of rocks that had hydroids on it? I heard about kalk paste, does that work also? Also you...

    Hydroids problem

    I am glad I finally know what I am dealing with, never heard of that until now. Thanks Nikki. My tank is almost 3 months old, it went through the worse of the algae bloom already (had those bushy growth everywhere, and they went away finally) The only algae problem I have right now is that and...

    Jumping clam

    I got this crocea several weeks ago and it is attached to a small piece of rock. However it keeps jumping off where I put it while still attached to that small rock. It lies on it side so much that one side of the mantle seems larger than the other and one side of the shell has larger new...

    Hydroids problem

    Unfortunately I am unable to take better pictures :( It looks like the picture before the flatworm covered brain in this article: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-10/sp/feature/index.htm Some algae is growing on my live rock (a fuzzy picture on my gallery also), it started on 1 piece of...

    Hydroids problem

    I have these things on my live rocks, I thought they are just small feather duster. Until I read an article that has a picture of the same thing and realize they are hydroids (I think) See pictures in my gallery. Do I need to remove them? If so how? I am really sick of my live rocks. They are...

    Where to buy Live Plants/Algae such as Ulva?????

    I got some Ulva and tang heaven from ipsf.com, they arrived in good shape. Can't tell you if they give you more for the same buck since I never order from other places.

    ICH in the reef tank

    I have been wondering about this, how to raise pH in freshwater? As a matter of fact how to do that with saltwater? I am talking about raising pH alone and not alkalinity as well. I have SeaChem Reef Builder that raises alkalinity (for saltwater at least), but not sure if it'd raise pH to 8.3 or...

    Ich question

    Great reading, thanks! In part 1 it states: It is possible, but much less likely, to import Cryptocaryon irritans into a system by means other than on infected fish. Water containing the free-swimming (theront) stage is a possible means of introduction (Colorni & Burgess, 1997). However...

    Ich question

    I am concern about corals on live rocks that came from tanks with fish (like those in LFS or fellow reefer's tank). After losing this $100 fish really teach me a lesson, I can never be too careful. (OK, the tang is not dead yet, but lying sideway on the bottom is not a good sign to me and I...

    Ich question

    We are on the topic of ich, I am planning to remove all my fish from my reef and hopefully remove all ich for good. I have a question however, I know I can quarantine future new fish to avoid introducing ich or velvet, however I am now thinking what about the cyst that can possibly be on live...

    ICH in the reef tank

    That's what I am afraid of. time to catch fish :( it is not going to be easy :( Should I move all my fish to a medicated tank for 30 days? Like using copper or formaldehyde for the entire 30 days? Is 30 days enough?

    ICH in the reef tank

    What timing, i just lost a red sea sailfin tang to ich this morning. I bought it last saturday, first noticed something may be wrong 2 nights ago. Yesterday the tang seemed worse but is still hiding whenever I approach the tank, and I did not have time to get it. Well this morning it looked even...
