But Garlic is a known immune system boost, so in theory, adding garlic should encourage them to feed, stimulate their appetite and boost their immune system all at the same time.

You know...actually they do! I've heard of people having success shortly after taping the picture up.

What else do you have in your tank, how big is the tank, what kind of light and flow do you have? These questions would each have an affect on the answer that I gave to your question (Should I even bother?). Tank raised perc host all the time in the hobby, though they may need a bit of...

2 tunze * 3000 = 6000 1000gph overflow 2 hydor 4 @ 800gph = 1600 180 with 8600 gph = 47gph'ish, I guess since I'm not sure what to put for the hydors (550-1400).

I wish I had an answer for you (but by the sounds of the problem I'm glad I don't)! I don't have any snails that procreate in my tank with survivors.

Anyone thinking of going down to Atlanta for MACNA XX should book their room at the Westin TODAY! They've been sold out of rooms and just released a new block of 20 rooms. The experience will not be complete if you are not in the host hotel! There will be members sharing 12 passenger vans for...

Did you recently remove the sand in this tank? If yes, how long was the sand established?

Well isn't that the strangest thing.

I'm lost too. The numbers aren't adding up to the behavior. That level of stress seems surprising given the little bit of change they've been through (I've put many a fish through far "worse" and not have them change behavior). What kind of clowns are these? Are these the ones that you got...

.1 of Ammo just doesn't seem to be enough, in and of itself, to cause any dramatic behavior changes in the fish though...? That's the part that's throwing me off. Your corals probably wouldn't react as quickly as the fish since they don't respirate as much.

We haven't kept any torch coral, so I'm not sure about the answer to that.

I keep several different species of each in one section of my tank, all mingling together. We've had no issues with any of them misbehaving.

Two different topics, Tom. My O2 comment has more to do with the gilling and clown behavior than the Ammo in the tank. That, as you said, is likely to be due to the die off in the rock. The fastest way to remediate that would be to take that rock back out of the tank and cure it externally...

I agree with the O2. With the higher temperatures the O2 saturations aren't what they used to be. What's your water temp?

Ouch. Sorry to hear that, Paul. Hurry, get one of the other ones at AO before the one left behind morphs!

Additionally, some salt brands contain more silicates than others (just as some contain more PO4 or NO3 than others).

Sounds to me like your silicates are high. I think that's what causes dinoflagelettes (sp?!) and excessive diatoms. What kind of water are you using? Salt? Lighting? Sudden increase in lighting?

Sweeet! Though I'd prefer 24. :)

Not even with the door jam removed? Hmmm...
