Yea... I have definetly learned my lesson. After this everything that goes in the tank gets at leat 30 days of solitary. From what I have been reading about ich. Once I keep the fish out of the display for 6 weeks, there should be no ich lift in the tank due to their life cycle. By then the...

Thanks for the replys. I have bpth the fish in a 10 gal tank (took the 5 gallon back) with lots of PVC for hiding. I decided to go with copper only because the Tangh has it BAD. I had to take most of my liverock out to catch him, which I am sure stressed him even more. He is currently tucked...

I bought him knowing he would outgrow the tank. He is about the size of a silver dollar now and has not grown much. I already have the fish store waiting till he gets to a medium size, then we will trade and I will recieve store credit. The guy at the LFS said it would not be a problem...

Thanks for moving for me. Wayne

I have a question about skimming. I have heard different views on skimming. The one that most intrigues me is that we over skim our tanks. Question is, how do each of you skim your tanks? I skim mine 24/7. If you only skim 12 hours a day, do you skim at night or day. Any thoughts you may...

Yes, they do dissapear and reapear. I did a little research last night and i think they may be spaghetti worms. Or like you said some other type of filter feeding animal. Thanks for the responces. I will try to post my tank pics and specs this week as i am a new member. Everyone have a...

Hello all, I just recently bought a few more pieces of live rock to put in my tank, about 50lb now. Anyway, I have noticed what looks like cobwebs on the rock as of lately. This was not present when I first put the rock in the tank. And has seemed to gather more and more of this web looking...
