Has anyone had experience with a kole or yellow eye tang??? I have had one in the tank for 2 days and he looks as if he is stressed going up and down the tank side, but on the other hand he darts into the rock and sand getting something-algae I guess. How interesting. I hope he isn't dying...

Well, tonight is the World Series unbelieveable action and fishtank questions!!! Why is my bubble coral shrinking and looking as if one side is dying? Every day I think I will get rid of it and then the next day it seems to be trying to recover. This has been going on about 2 weeks. I am...

I have had my bubble tip for several months now. Got a tomoto clown and he loves it. the question is- when I first got it it was huge and now it does not open up much, but the clown still sleeps in it and even though it shrinks much in the daytime, it opens enough at night to let the clown...

Another question! By the way, thanks so much for you help! I have a yellow wrasse, royal gramma, tomato clown, mandarin goby, and yellow tang now. I just put a kole and clown tang on hold at the lfs. I have a 90 gallon tank and everything is doing fine so far. Lots of caves etc for the tangs...

About a week ago, my husband was helping me with the tank and took a piece of live rock out of the tank and laid it on the top of the tank inside the canopy where we both forgot about it. When I discovered it it was totally dried up and I left it up there thinking I would tell and we'd decide...

I bought a $29.95 water vacuum at Home Depot and love it for vacuuming out the bottom of my sump when I do a water change if need be. Actually, I had a carbon bag made with a nylon footie that has turned hard and had to get the water out of the sump and then almost hammer it out of a section I...

Hi All! My bubble coral is all shriveled up and has been about 3 days. But, the tank is still dark and I see some tentacles. And some bubbles around the edge are a little larger. In the middle there seems to be a spot I had not seen before with no bubbles- just a white cavern not too large...

I'm bummed! Yesterday afternoon I bought a royal gramma and this morning after never even seeing it when I put it in the tank, I found it dead in the sump! Must have gone through the overflow. Anyone else ever have this happen with little fish?? I also bought a yellow wrasse, but it swam...

I have had a bag of carbon (actually a mylon footie in my sump that has gotten so hard, I cannot get it out. I put it in the area where a sponge was at the time got the sump and water flows through it to the other side. Anyway, I will have to take my whole sump apart to dig it out or when I...

Hi Everyone! I recently have discovered some green round bubble like things that look like emeralds in the tank when the light shines just right. I took three of them out but popped another one yesterday while getting it out. The LFS said they were ok. What about them? What do you think...

Hi All You helpful people! Does anyone ever use laminating material (two sheets laminated together to separate the stinging corals? I read somewhere you could use acryllic pieces and just epoxy them. What about laminate material? Would be lighter and probably epoxy better. Unless they make...

H again! I have a large pink lobophyllia (was once a pretty red in the lfs's tank!!! Anyway, I have had it a couple months and it seems to be dying. Is bleaching, and loosing it skeleton at the bottom. Have put it on the bottom of the tank, in the middle on a rock, and at the top. I...

I finally got the Salifert Iodine Test kit and from what it is reading, I have no iodine in my 90 gal even though I dose it once a week with 4 drops of Lugol's. What does everyone use to raise the iodine? Should I give it more per week of Lugol's or get a Tech supplement or whatever? Any...
