These were tank raised fish. Nice sized ones too.

Its to late. I put him in the freezer last night. The red fleshy spot near the rear dorsal fin got worse over night and he wasn't eating. Gonna take him back to the fish store and see if they know. Id show a pic but the iPhone won't let me upload right now.

I got it on dec 22 nd 2010. Almost two weeks.

That's kinda hard. Would require breaking down all the rocks. You think he needs out? Could it just be some sort of abrasion?

So I woke up today and noticed severe red blotchy iretation near the tail of a blue chromis. And now there is some stringy looking hanging down by his belly. Breathing seems elevated. I've got pics but not sure how to upload them here. What should I do? Take him out? Or wait a little longer.

What is the benefit of keeping it higher?

So I started testing CA and KH. My first readings were Ca 840ppm KH 6. Now after some dosing and a water change the readings are Ca 640 KH 8d. I know the Ca should be up there but what should I be looking for with the KH? The higher it gets the lower the calcium drops? The LFS guy said to keep...

Ok guys so I'm startig to dose my tak with calcium and Alk. I just took a base line reading and this is what i got PO .25 KH 6 degree's PH 8.2 Ca 840ppm THis doesnt sound right to me. It seems the Ca is super high but I havent' been adding any calcium. The LFS guy said my ALk should be around...

Yeah that helps alot. I just put in a protein skimmer about 4 days ago. Not really getting that much skimmate. Maybe it just needs time. What level do you recommend salinity be? I use the needle gauges that you get in the LFS and it's in the general zone on the salinity tester. The skimmer is...

He's pretty big. I'm waiting on some Agrocrete to cure. So I might just break down the current rocks to get him out when the new rocks are rdy the put in the tank.

I'm working on a 90 reef tank with 30 gal sump

Sry. Yellow tang.

I got some green star polyps. Now where do I put them? (current,lighting,feeding etc) I also learned today from my lfs that putting a yang tang in my tank first thing was not the brightest idea. He's killed/harrassed about $200 worth of fish now. I wanna put more fish but also don't want him...

Ok just did 10 gal water change. Readings are as follows: 1.021 salt Am .25ppm Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 Still have no skimmer but my levels seem to be down. Gonna do another 10gal change to get the ammonia down but other than that I think things are ok. Cyno starting to pop up but I think its cause...

Tiny brown leg hermits from eBay. You think the shrimp could be eating them?
