Im trying to decide which fish to add to my 30 gal. I got a percula pair and a helfrichs firefish. Would there be any trouble with any of them?

ive managed to color up all but one of my corals, but they are all very pale and pastely - i was told this is because they are starving. so i ordered some acropower to see if i can rectify the situation. im feeling optimistic about it.

awesome! you should be able to easily wean it onto frozen blackworms by mixing it with the live ones. then you can start mixing in other frozen foods and soon youll have a happy healthy fish :)

really sorry about all your losses. that sucks man. good luck with the treatment and the eventual rescape.

I kept rams without too much trouble, but the camalanus worm is a nasty parasite - i never had a chance with that particular pair. I was handfeeding live blackworms with tongs trying to give em nourishment. I like to use frozen brine to administer meds. More surface area for things to stick...

Good luck with the recovery. I had freshwater fish (a pair of german rams) that acted like you are describing the copperband. Eventually i discovered they had intestinal parasites, but even after treatment were too far gone and died about a month later. It might be worth seeing if they accept...

i would stick a copper-removing resin in your main tank afterwards, like seachems cuprisorb, just to be safe. since the fish could/would absorb and then slowly excrete some of the Cu++. cure process as in, treatment length? variable - temperature affects everything. plus the worse the fish...

large hollywood stunner. you will get the colony in my finnex reef minus 2 chunks. i may not be able to get it out in one piece. $20

did you test your fresh water (meaning the water you do the WCs with)? 50-100 ppm is massive - way more than i have in my freshwater planted tank, and in there i dose KNO3. you have to be adding it with something, food alone shouldnt do it unless your dumping flakes in by the fistfull.

you can feed often and not have a nutrient issue. i feed 2x a day and have undetectable NO3- and undetectable PO4---. :) itzju, do you dose amino acids maybe? they contain a lot of N (each amino acid has at least 1 amino group), and no P. most foods contain P:N ratios in biological ratios...

thats a cool chalice. :)

I'd love to get an appleberry. Could you hold it til you can also get me a frag of the starburst so I can pick em up in one trip?

not the rarest coral, but my pink stylo is the brightest thing in my tank at the moment:

great coloration on the red planet. mines much paler (probably cuz its being bombarded with light). the mili looks spectacular too. as far as pink goes though, ive never seen anything that can get as pink as a pink stylophora.

nice coral - good luck selling. :)

this is all so much more advanced than anything ive got. im jealous.

the starburst is the orange with yellow polyp m. capricornis? id be interested in the frag if you break up the pack.

yup, definitely doesnt look natural. but when its full of glowing radiant sps, nobody will care. :) especially if you end up with one of those tanks where its just a thick bushel of intertwined coral where exposed rock isnt even visible - and those are always neat to see. though i imagine...
