Has anyone had any experience in getting a newly acquired Cherub/Bi-color Angel to feed? I've had Charlie (yes I name my fish :oops: ) for 3 days now & basically the only thing she's eaten is pickings from the rockwork. I have a small sheet of Nori in there which is untouched & I've tried...

It's a P. hepatus. I've noticed that the spots have started to fade over the last 2 days. I've been really conscious about the water parameters & feeding so I'm hoping that it will all work out. I now have a hospital tank set up just in case but hoping not to have to use it in this case. Any...

Ok, more details....I've had the fish for 2 weeks & it's currently in the tank with 2 clowns & 3 chromis. They all seem to be getting along well & certainly nothing that would indicate any stress. The tank iteself is a 65 gallon & currently only has live rock, it has been set up for about 6...

I originally measured with the hydrometer as this was all I had when I started out. Then I got the deep six & used that to verify. This confimed that the level was low, so when I topped up the tank I added saltmix. Is the best way of bringing the salt level down to gradually add fresh water to...

I am using a Deep Six Specific Gravity Meter. I guess it's possibly claibration but I also have a hydrometer which also shows hig levels.
