Well sad news, unfortunately the Powder Brown didn't make it. Looking back now I knew he had ich from the day he got here because of all the scratching he was doing. I should have started the cupramine first and done the prazipro after. The foxface and royal gramma are doing fine. They'll be in...

Good idea ill try tossing some of that in the QT. Hopefully he'll start eating he's not looking so hot. He's staying vertical but keeps his lower jaw on the bottom of the tank most the time.

Well I was pretty worried after adding the prazipro last night, but as of this morning everything's looking great, nothing seems stressed at all. Also in the QT the Powder Browns still breathing heavily so I'm thinking the ich is what's caused this so I've decided to go ahead and add the 4th...

Not really I was running GFO at the time which didn't help much. It lasted about 3 weeks and went away.

In other news tonight i noticed one of my clowns had a long (as in reaching almost an inch past the end of his tail) stringy white poo coming out of him, so im thinking he might have an internal parasite...also one of my Anthias is breathing very heavily and swimming around with his mouth almost...

Isnt it lovely?!? To be honest ive never cycled a reef tank without live rock before so im hoping this is just another new tank phase that'll pass soon. Its pretty much everywhere the lights hit.

Yea i think ill stay away, there awesome but the risk plus my tank wouldn't be big enough to house one long term.

Hmm maybe i shouldn't just for that reason alone what size tank did you have yours in?

Yea i get it...that's why im asking people with experience, good or bad. If i hear more good than bad maybe ill get one but even a couple horror stories is enough to scare me off usually. Reef safe is a loosely used term, hell Ive never been able to keep a blenny from the Ecsenius family...

How come you gave it away?

*UPDATE* Today was supposed to be the 4th out of 5 doses of copper in the QT, however this morning when i feed the fish the Powder Brown whos usually eating like a pig showed no interest in the food at all. I think ill give it a day or two before i add another dose and hopefully get the PB...

Anyone? Im sure some people have had 1 or 2 of these in there reefs before.

Well never mind I just tested it. Unfortunately if I have it set for 78 it won't turn on until it hits 79 and doesn't shut off until 77. Guess I'm gonna have to hook it up to my Apex. I'd prefer a bit more stability than a two degree swing multiple times a day.

Well I'm a bit confused. I've never used a chiller before, but today I hooked up my new JBJ Arctica 1/4hp chiller. I set the chiller to 78 degrees however the temperature is reading 78.6 degrees and still hasn't turned on. Am I doing something wrong? Or am I missing something on how the chillers...

Thanks Phi-ho

Genicanthus Angelfish including: Bellus, Lamrack's, Watanabei, etc. Whats your experience with these fish? Are they "reef safe" or more specifically SPS safe? I think the Lamarack's are beautiful however im definitely on the fence about adding one. Hate busting out the fish trap a week after...

Yea you'll just have to look past the cyano for now lol. Usually the mouths are bigger but this one just split a week or so ago. These were growing in my last setup like a weed. I ended up with about 40 of em from 2 originals, and ended up selling the majority after the breakdown. I managed to...

Thank you, El Dude :top: Thanks Igarc009, if/when it splits in the future ill be trading the clone for a primo frag or two hopefully. For now the clowns haven't jumped in it yet and hopefully they'll wait till its bigger so they don't crush it.

First dose of Cupramine 1ml in today. Last time a total of 5.25ml brought me perfectly up to .5 mg/l.

Thank you sir! They are definitely my favorite fish in the tank for sure.
