I thought it was a hunger issue. I used to feed strong and latley I have been cutting back a lot. I am going to try and keep up the feeding and see what happens. I liked them but they might go in the fiance's tank very soon if this keeps up.
I have two hippo tangs in my tank and they have always been fine UNTILL NOW! Now I have watched them pick at a clams non stop, my open brain, a few sticks! They keep closing up because of them! Anyone ever see anything like this?
Once or twice but if it is that far there is usually a reason. It could be something blocking the flow into the skimmer OR something was blocking the output and finally moved?
I adjust my valve from time to time because the water level can change at any time. It usually stays constant but it will just jump down for no reason.

I am not a fan of some stores that frag colonies out and sell it like that. It just seems wrong to do that to a great colony. It is one thing to sell a frag that broke off or trim down something that is outgrowing its space but doing it with that intention i don't care for. (I also like to buy...
I was in your exact same position and my best advice I can give to you is read as much as you can. Get a couple books or just read as much on here as you can. There is a lot to be learned to do it all correctly.
I have my tank on Laminate flooring and it seems to do fine BUT water is always going to happen no matter what you put down. I get water on my floor on a daily basis but I am good about cleaning it up.
Or just ask the question: What will happen to the other tank? Are you going to leave it here?
If that is the case then get someone to buff it out for you and have 2! I would LOVE that!
