Is there anything that you could be adding by accident to the water? For example, using a bucket that once housed chlorine to do water changes? I...
I think it is determined more by the fish than the shrimp. It is always the same fish that go in for the cleaning in my tank. My tangs and my flame...
Since you haven't added anything new, I would look to the decrease in the lighting period. I would consider decreasing a clam's light by 25% to be...
Great finds. I love live rock and seeing what new animals show up.
nice pictures and good looking fish!
nice write up. I like mine as well. It has quite a personality. Interestingly, mine will eat any aiptasia that shows up on my glass but doesn't seem...
Interesting. I thought my tangs liked the purple over the green. However, now I wonder if it is just due to the purple being Julian sprung's and the...

I will also throw in a thumbs up for the tunze.
The only thing I turn off is my ATO. I just set a bucket on a chair and siphon the old out of the DT. Then I set the bucket with the old aside and...
Your responsibility is to keep these fish in a tank that is as comfortable and stress free as possible. In my opinion, a 75 gallon tank does not meet...
How often and what do you feed? I could be misreading your original post but if you are only feeding twice a week, it probably isn't enough. This is...
any new additions? I assume with the corals listed that you haven't been playing with copper.
You might try sticking some food down in the sand close to where he hangs out. If there is no fauna in the sand for him to sift out, he is probably...
Thanks for the advice everyone. I will try the PVC ring and then leave it alone.
I have had this derasa clam for a little over two years with few problems. However, over the last couple of months, it has begun falling over most...
