These things are hard to describe. At the same time it is hard to get a picture of them, but here is what I am trying to figure out: Over the last 6 months or so I have noticed small worms on the snad bed and rocks. These are quite small... the best way I can describe them are: Width: About...

Sorry it took so long to respond to this, but I wanted to say THANKS for the informative reply! Very helpful! I will not be adding any more of that to the tank in the near future... that is for sure! My boss at work has a 5000 aquarium in his home (http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthrea ...

Hello All, I wanted to post a quick description of a problem with my tank... I am hoping someone may be able to help me out. Here is a little info on the tank: It is a 60 gallon that I have had for about a year now... The water conditions have always been ideal, and I have had the same fish...

Thanks for the reply! Good information. Here is some info on the tank and its inhabitants: Tank: 60 gallon bow front Water Parameters: Salinity - 1.023 Temperature - 79 Ammonia - Right at 0 Nitrate - Right at 0 PH - 8.1 (I need to bring it back up... it has always been at 8.3) Nitrate - 15...

Hi All, I have a question regarding my Yellow Tang... Over the past few days I have noticed that he has a red blotch on one side, as well as on the dorsal fin... actually the red mark is vertical on the dorsal fin. I have included a picture of him, but please excuse the quality... it is a bit...

Hi Reef_Monkey… Sorry it took so long to respond. THANKS for the compliments! It is a 60 gallon, but I am already on the prowl for a larger one… maybe early to mid next year.

Thanks hiddendragonet, Sounds like a good book… that is what I need… something to get a newbie off to the right start. Right now I am borrowing one from a friend by the name of "Aquarium Corals" by Eric H. Borneman. Great book, although very in depth for someone just starting out like me. The...

Thanks Laura! Since last night I had increased the KH to 15, as well as the temperature of the water to 82 (I have heard both good and bad about this). The fish are getting a very good, vitamin rich diet (according to the food label 8O )... I use a few general types... both by Ocean Nutrition...

Thanks for the tips LauraH. I had questioned the fish store on that yesterday... especially because my PH was already at 8.3. My KH was at 11... they recommended putting the buffer in there to bring it up to 12. Sounds like their advise is a bit shaky. I took a look at the fish a few minutes...

Hi seamaiden, I dont have a bunch of pictures of wreck diving or anything since the most I do is in the midwest, but here is one from Mermet Springs IL... this was the actual Boeing 727 used in the movie US Marshalls! There are more if you go to my web site location of...

Very true... That is key... taking it slow. That has been the hardest part so far, for me. But, if you dont take it slow, the consequences can be disastrous. Here is what the tank looked like when after I got it home, cleaned it up, and got some water in it: How about that protein skimmer...

No problem on the double post. 8) It will be tommorrow before I can get garlic (fish stores are closed)... hopefully the fish will be okay till tomorrow afternoon or so. I even thought about a fresh water soak, but I had no luck with catching him after 40 minutes of trying. It is a baby and...

Thanks for the GREAT advise and links! Very good info... I guess what surpised me is how fast it happened. The fish is still chowing food and very active. If it is ich, that may all change, the worse it gets. Thanks again for the help!
