I had put up a post before about my naso tang and his possible parasites. He eat's really well but is still very skinny. i'm more worried about him now because his swimming has become less active. Instead of swimming around actively he sort of sits there and floats around. Occasionaly he will...

Hmm, it makes you wonder. if there are so many of them right near us why does a medium sized one still cost 100 dollars?

they didn't like the romaine lettuce. i put some in in the same spot i put the nori and they didn't even pay attention to it. Any other ideas?

Alright i'll give that a try. See how they like the romaine. i'll add another cube in the mornings too. hopefully it helps i love my naso, one of my favorite in the tank

Haha yeah my tank is 75 gallons not 20 so it's gonna weigh just a tiny bit more then 200 (meaning another 600 pounds or so haha. well that's with it full) i guess i'm better off painting it or possibly veneering it. Anyone have any experience with something like this? I'll have to talk to my dad...

as of now i have the stand that came with my tank. I absolutely hate it so i'm planning on building my own. How can i switch the stands without having to completely take the tank apart? I want to avoid having to drain the tank and putting all the fish into buckets, etc. Any ideas?

It fits. the fish do eat a lot but are still losing weight. Hopefully someone who's dealt with this will chime in and give me some info while i do some research.

They're both around 4 inches. I feed the tank 2 cubes of frozen foods which everyone eats (clowns, idol and both tangs) then at night i feed the clowns flakes which everyone picks at. then at night i feed them about 1/3 sheet of nori that the yellow tang naso tang and idol pick at it until most...

I think my two tangs may have some sort of parasites. the fish eat very well a diet of nori soaked in nutrients and frozen foods (also graze on the algae all day) but for some reason both my tangs are becoming very skinny. I'm more worried about the naso more than the yellow tang. What should i...

The idol is actually doing great. I moved the rocks around so my tangs are leaving him a lone a little bit more which is great. He looks absolutely stunning. is such a shame that finding a healthy eating one is such a rare treat.

Well if anyone else read my other thread i told you that i purchased a moorish idol (doing great by the way. still eating like a pig.) So i'm still keeping my fingers crossed. but then today i did another bad thing, this time not knowing what i was getting myself into unlike the idol who i knew...

No. ilooked up pictures of aquarium systems protein skimmers and can't find mine anywhere. It doesn't have a specific model number or anything.

It's by Aquarium Systems. The venturi/pump is definitely pumping water into it but i'll try cleaning it out to see if that helps at all.

THe venturi is on and air is definitely going through it but for some reason nothing is being collected in chamber up top. it normally does its thing where it bubbles and turns it to the gross looking greenish water but isn't doing anything right now. any ideas?

so i've made the transition from FO to FOWLR (getting closer to my future reef!) i have about 75 pounds of live rock (thanks to rafal07013 for the great rock) They're mostly some pretty large pieces and i have to experiment with them to see what i can do with it but was wondering if anyone had...

Well if you wanted to surf you should have stayed here! Haha apparently Hurricane Bill is causing some major waves down at the jersey shore. Apparently some beaches are going to be closed because of how rough the water is. Hopefully we don't get it too bad when it hits us sunday!

Well the flakes aren't for my tangs they're for my clowns. i have some frozen foods that are a mix of everything but the problem with that is the tangs won't eat it off the ground. they take a few bites and then it settles and that's that. they eat 10x less then the amount that falls to the...

Recently both my tangs seem to have lost some weight. i feed them 1/3 a sheet of nori every day and they also eat the flakes i feed the clowns and they pick at the algae all day. But recently they're skeletal structure is visible when the light hits them at the right angle. definitely no where...

What about the rain?!

Really? Well the tangs and the idol graze on the algae all day. He's not really as aggressive of an eater as the tanks so the way it works is i drop the nori in tied to to a rock. The two tangs pick at it very aggressively for a few minutes and then they swim away and pick at it casually. while...
