Wow, I'm a newbie and am still learning. The frogspawn extended nicely the first several days. The day before yesterday it shrunk but the green tips...
I have a peppermint but haven't seen him for a while. It maybe eaten by a dwarf lionfish (God rests it's soul) which I thought was too small to...
Sorry, I should have posted a picture along with the question. Please see picture. As you can see, there are still some green "heads" left on the...
I bought a little piece frogspawn several days ago from LFS and it had been doing well a couple day. Today the most of flesh is gone and only very...
Thanks for your input. Flooding CY-192 during power failure is my most concern. I picked it up last night (for $150, I hope it's a good deal) and...
I've been wanting to add a refugium for my 55 gallon tank for some time. I currently have a Rena XP3 canister and CPR HOB skimmer. A friend of mine...
That's a good idea. I always get my test sample from the same spot.
I tested the pH again (I've been using Instant Ocean test kit) and the pH turned out to be 8.0, which is more believable. But I still don't know what...
I only have a Rena XP3 canister filter. No sump/fuge yet and thinking about building one soon. I have my tank 90 to 95% covered to reduce...
I've fully cured live rocks which has been running stable in the past 3 months. I personally don't like the "color matching" water test kit. I'll get...

I felt I didn't provide more details for you guys to help me to trouble shoot: Here is what I have: 50 gallon glass tank, so far FOWLR (but the F...
The water chemistry seems to be pretty good. I check them weekly and they have been quite stable: pH: 8.2 NH3-N: 0 ppm NO2-N: 0 ppm NO3-N: 40 ppm...
I read an article somewhere (not here for sure) about add medications to quarantine tank to shorten quarantine from 6 weeks to 2 weeks, regardless of...
Thanks for the input. The medications were not mixed. I took time to use carbon cartridge to filter chemicals out plus a 25% water change.
I woke up this morning and found long nose and percula died in the quarantine tank, left only a fire fish, which I got them all together 3 days ago....
The last time I saw the anemone alive was the anemone taking a piece of shrimp I offered and the cow fish was fighting hard and tried to get to the...
Thanks for the great insights, guys. I guess the fish store always tell you everything will get along just fine. Now I only have one yellow tang...
