I just got home from a friends house and I noticed my imperator angel looked pale. At closer look, it looked like it was covered in a fine white powder, and so are the majority of my other fish! I havent added anything new at all to the tank. I dont think it is ich because ive seen that many...

I was just wondering if anyone has ever had a long-nose hawk fish in a reef tank? I keep reading different things on the internet saying they are reef-compatible and some website say they are not. Anyone who has ever had one let me know. Thanks!

Hi guys, I am posting this on behalf of my parents since I am visiting them right now. They have a very well-established (5+ years old) 6 foot long marine tank, sand bottom, with fish and coral. Recently they've gotten a pretty bad aiptasia infestation, which I guess started when one...

Hey I was suggested a Long nose hawk @ the LFS and I fell in love with the homeboy until I noticed he is a complete jerk to everything in the tank. He goes ape **** everytime one of my shrimp ( i have a cleaner and a fire) comes out to eat... It completely pisses me off. Is it worth trying to...

Ok, i've had an off and on problem with nitrates, the tank came with a fine dust of well, crap I guess, from the former owner feeding only one fish and with the bristle worms i'm thinking of pulling all sand and replacing it or cleaning it if that's possible I have a 55 gallon, and am worried...

Hey guys I'm interested in your opinions on the following two questions: I have a 55G reef tank; LPS & softies, tube anemone, shrimps, hermits, snails & a brittle star. Fish are comprised of a small yellow tang, 4 chromis and a royal gramma. I also have a 55G sump that runs almost full (I...

just bought 2 peppermint shrimp to help clean the tank. i was worried about them getting along with the coral banded shrimp whom is much bigger. i didn't think about the birdnose wrasse :doh:who caught them both and ate them whole :bigeek:before the coral banded new they hit the water. :idea...

Well I decided to get the camera out this afternoon. I know, I know, but this guy was a rescue about 4 months ago and he had only about 6-7 arms then, he now is all full and doing great!(IMO) Looks awesome anyway. This anemone split (so what you see is the mom and the...

Ok, I'm not getting the hang of taking photos, but here's a few When i first set it up Mama's Helper Boy those chromis look HUGE Not sure why he looks the colour he does, and my hawk fish pics didn't turn out :P

I broke down and picked up two new fishies, a royal gamma basslet & a tiny little hawk fish, I am in love, they're soo **** cute, tho I haven't seen the basslet eat. Tried pellets, flakes, and now goign to drop a 'gumball' of shrimp in.

Here are a few of the fish I picked up today while helping a friend take down her tanks :( I promise to take good care of them I hope they do well My Tominni is a bit of a bully :(

Found this guy on the weekend and couldn't say no. He's a pretty tough little fish too, my yellow tang and Coral Beauty angel both tried to intimidate him.....but he just pretends lie they are not even there. Its kinda funny to watch because the bigger fish almost seam to get madded the more he...

Ok...so some people have suggested that I go with freshwater for this tank...I am liking the idea a little better...hate to leave the void behind the bar. Can some of you give me some ideas for a nice freshwater set up that would be low maintenance (I don't think I want plants - don't want...
