Got detritus? Get a starfish! (not calling them sea stars, not now, not ever) And Pluto is still a planet in my world, so back off!
If those have been in the tank for several months, it has cycled. Take the water to the LFS and have it tested. Asuming everything's in range it...
It looks like it to me but I don't think it is. too little, too isolated. Cyano is like the plague. You wouldn't be asking about little red dots....
You may also want to suspect your test kit. When things behave how they shouldn't based on test results don't rule out the tests themselves. You...
I've seen Cheech (waste of money), Bill Engval (hilarious), and Eddie Izzard (I thought I was going to die I was laughing so hard). It's always more...
Coming to a tank near you! YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE.....
Wow, that's unique, I havn't seen a tank with both ammonia and diatoms in it before. Technically speaking the tank is still cycling, as we would...

Then quit reading somewhere! :) ICH is in every tank. It's usually not a problem unless the fish is stressed (in which case it becomes...

Don't worry about the test strip. The initial cycle is over when you see diatoms. That doesn't mean you can just dump fish in. It'll take a year...
I can't tell you for sure what that is. I'd guess it's harmless.
Everyone needs a Nano! That's the fun tank. The DT is for impressing friends.
Before we say that, lets get some pictures of your crab. Could be that it's a safe (good crab).
what size is your tank?
Tangs are a nogo in that tank. Butterflies will generally attack coral. I am a HUGE dragonet fan but they are HARD To keep and require a pod fuge...
The usual advice applies here. Watch for bleaching. just because he threw it up doesn't mean he didn't get some nutrition. Keep a close eye on...
Bah, I compile gentoo from source! What OS is this thing running?
