Great to hear that both you and your dad are on the mend! Hopefully both of you will be 100% very soon.
It doesn't look like pinched mantle disease to me - too early to know anyway. From your list of fishes, I don't see any conspicuous clam munchers,...
Congrats on the mandarin. I got one myself about 2 months ago. Seems to be doing ok, although I never see what he is eating. I actually set up a...
Of course you try not to overfeed, but you are bound to overfeed slightly. That's what a clean-up crew and protein skimmer are for ;) I agree that...
+1 on splitting the line from the overflow. You don't need to use backflow from your pump. Just split the line from the overflow, and use a ball...
It really doesn't look bad for a brand new clam. It may be a rip in the mantle, or it may be that the mantle is not being fully extended. What kind...
Here is a surefire way to do it. Take the sun polyp frag and put it in a small, new tupperwear container (never exposed to soap/detergent),...
I bought a green bubble coral about 6 months ago, and it had been on a slow decline since then. The bubbles inflated less and less all the time, in...
Yeah, that's what I thought. Ok, I won't get them. It's just a shame though - beautiful animals. I just can't justify a whole other tank, though.
Ok, before I say anything, I am fairly certain I'll be shot down. But I figure it doesn't hurt to ask anyway. You can look at my sig to see what I...
Interesting poll. My problem was that I did not take everyone's word, and bought a PC fixture. The light was exceptionally dim compared to my...
I've been hearing good things about cyclop-eeze, both for feeding fish and also corals. I figure I'll give it a try. Maybe even my finicky mandarin...
Honestly, it looks like diatoms with GHA (green hair algae). I would check your water source for silicates. Are you using RO/DI water? Have you...
How old is the tank? It's tough to positively ID with the pics. I see what looks like a bit of hair algae, and also what looks like diatoms. The...
If it is getting good light where it is right now, leave it alone. If it is not getting intense light where it is, then move it higher. The more...
Lights on, low flow, dose phyto.
A little ray of hope here.....it is unlikely that your clam fully put down its foot after only 15 minutes of acclimation. Usually it takes a few...
The fact that you have filter feeders does not negate the preference for a skimmer. Remember that the skimmer won't remove absolutely everything...
You can buy special marine angel food in the frozen section of your LFS. It is high in sponge foods, which angels need to survive. I'd pick some up.
I seem to be having a minor snail explosion in my tank right now. In the past I've seen many snail eggs, but I am now seeing a lot of medium sized...
