    Our 30 Gallon Cube (pics included)

    :-[ he is such a neat fish! Once we move the wrasse into the 57, i am hoping to pair him with a pistol and I had my fingers crossed that I would see him more.

    Dead tang

    I am sorry for your loss. In all likelihood, it drifted into your acan after the fact, but that doesn't make it any easier to see. We came home last year to an angel being eaten by our anem, and I know I was traumatized.

    75 G Catastrophe

    Is it possible that you could have had a spawning event? The release of large amounts of gametes can cause a tank to crash.

    How To Humanely Euthanize Your Fish

    Ok everyone, lets try to be respectful. Many of us are extremely upset when we have to euthanize a fish, and one person's idea of humane may not be another's. If you feel a suggestion is inhumane, please address it to that individual by PM. The more information that is shared, the better, and...

    Getting parameters in check

    I can't speak to dosing kalk via ato (we use britwell two part via dosing pumps) but I can tell you that you probably want to pick up a mg test and an alk test before you start dosing the kalk. Your ph is low, but not awful, and you Ca isn't awful either. Keep in mind that your ability to raise...

    Our 30 Gallon Cube (pics included)

    I hope your right, I feel guilty at the moment. I am hopping that once he is in a larger tank, we will see him more!

    Our 30 Gallon Cube (pics included)

    We bought the yellow watchman from trop when he was about .5", he was temporarily paired with our yasha goby and a candy pistol shrimp, but he was 1) growing too fast for the 12g and 2) a jumper, so into the covered 30g he went. He is growing nicely, just reclusive (as a result of over crowding...

    vortech mp10w es vs. mp40w es for 70g cube

    I do not have that large of a tank, but i do have a 45g Cube with a vortech. Dimensions are 2'x2'x18". It houses sps, acans, chalices and zoas. Mike and I have run (at one time or another) an mp10, an mp20, and an mp40 on this tank. The mp10 did ok, but when we bought an mp20, we moved the...

    Feeding my fish

    When I was running koralia nanos on my 30g cube, I had.two koralia 2 pumps, a maxi jet for my skimmer and a maxi jet for the fuge. I've since replaced the koralias with an mp10. Koralia nanos are probably a bit small for your 30g. As far as the back chambers go, I agree that there should not be...

    Feeding my fish

    Ok, so you still have several possible sources of this problem. First, all of the foods you mentioned except Rods need to be rinsed. A brine Shrimp net or a fine metal sieve will work. Rinse gently with clean fresh water. Regarding the TDS meter reading, clean the container, calibrate the TDS...

    Feeding my fish

    Would really need more information to answer that question. It partially depends on the amount of live food in your system, and the fat stores the fish have. However there are a number of other things that could be causing the high PO4 and a coulpe of things that might help. I have a couple of...
