    Male clownfish big belly

    I have had a pair of True Perculas for about a year and tonight I noticed that the male has a really fat belly, he seriously look pregnant. Any ideas what it might be? he seems to be doing fine, eating and swimming well.

    Algea!!! Guys, I have been raising my Magnesium for the past 2 weeks trying to control the hair algae. It looked like it was working but a few days back, it started to come back stronger. Now on top of the hair algae, I have a new algae taking over. I do 25% water changes every other week, I...

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    Unfortunately, the beautiful McCosker's in the picture above didn't make it but I got a "replacement" (I know it sounds terrible). This one seems to be doing well so far, he ate Today and is all over the tank. Wish me luck! :)

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    Upgrades!!! This weekend I added a couple of nice upgrades to the tank. First, I upgraded my lighting from a Tek retrofit 4 x 54 to a Tek fixture 6 x 54; I really wanted to get an ATI Powermodule but they are currently out of stock so I am currently on the waiting list. The new fixture looks...

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    I love those Mistery Wrasse but the wife would kill me if I spend that much in a single fish. Talking about wrasse, I just ordered this beautiful McCosker from Live Aquaria Diver's Dent, I don't expect him to help with the flat worms but I always wanted one so wish me luck. I think, my fish...

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    Last night I decided to siphon out as much as possible and I got rid of most of them for now. I would consider a six line wrasse but I read that they are a hit or miss with flatworms and also they can bother my firefish and my anthias so I guess I will see if they come back and if they do, I...

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    Damn it! they are flat worms, I just googled it and found a few pictures. I guess I'm going to try to siphon them out of the tank and if that does not work, I will try the Salifert Flatworm Exit. How toxic are they?

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    I have a bunch of little white star fish all in the tank. At first, I thought they were cool but now I have them all over. Is it a pest? if so, how do I get rid off them? Also, I have a lot of red spots on a side of the tank, they do not attach firmly to the sand or the live rock.

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    Guys, I need your help. I have a hair algae blum that's taking over the tank. I have been fighting it for the last 2 months with water changes, carbon, phosban, etc, but nothing seems to help. Somebody suggested to raise my Magnesium up to 1400. What do you think?

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    Krish, long time no "see". I was going to add about 20 lbs more of the same sand that I have which I think was arag-alive. So how have you been? how's the wife and the kids? do you have a tank running now?

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    Guys, I am sorry I haven't been updating this lately, I've been super busy these days with work and school. The next upgrade to the tank will be the powerheads. I will be switching from my Koralias to Tunze Nanostream 6055 with the controller so that I can create better and more natural...

    Male Percula in trouble

    Tonight I noticed that my male Percula has some white/pink spots in a couple of places. At first, I thought the female was picking on him but I don't think that's the case since all of his fins look intact. He's behaving normaly, swimming and eating very well so far. The weird thing is that...

    Blue/Green Chromis advice

    That's what I thought! I got it from Liveaquaria.com so I was very surprised as I have always received high quality live stock from them. A few more questions: - Is the infections contagious? - Is it safe to assume that both have it? - About the Meracyn Two, is it a long treatment? can you...

    Blue/Green Chromis advice

    I got these 2 Blue/Green Chromis Today and one of them has what it looks like a red patch. Any ideas what that might be?

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    Thanks a lot guys! I will be upgrading my lighting from 4 to 6 T5 bulbs soon so that I can have more SPS corals and a clam to make the wife happy. Right now I am over half way through in my fish list. I still plan to get a Neon Goby, Carpenter or McCosker flasher wrasse and maybe a Blue Green...
