Re: Will my clownfish host in Duncanopsammia?

Never seen clowns host in Duncans, but hey, fish do weird stuff. My buddy's clown hosts a powerhead. Maybe yours'll surprise you.

Re: capturing the elusive maroon clown

I'm not sure how effective a fish trap would be for bigger fish, I've heard it can be a struggle to catch them with one.

Re: capturing the elusive maroon clown

I'll be honest, catching fish in an established reef can be super tough, unless your tank is pretty bare.

Re: A serious ammonia problem

if you're needing to add extra stuff, there's a good chance your tank's got an underlying issue, not saying it's the case every time, but it's possible something's causing your water to go haywire, that's why you're having to use additives and all that.

Re: A serious ammonia problem

For me, I don't add much to my tank - just food and sea salt during water changes. I also give my corals a calcium boost every other day. If my water gets out of whack, a water change usually sorts it out.

Re: A serious ammonia problem

my buddy had a nasty ammonia spike, got to .3 ppm and it was game over for all 14 fish in his 125 us gal tank. 13 fish died in 3 days, just one survivor, a yellow tang that's still kicking 2 years on, so yeah, luck of the draw, i guess.

Re: about pop eye

is there any device like a fish trap to catch the sick fish or do you have to take apart the rock work and coral to get him out?

Re: care for blue spotted tang

I understand where you're coming from, but I think you're being a bit harsh. I'm just trying to learn and get the best for my fish. I didn't mean to mislead anyone, I'm just not that great with numbers.

To be honest, the nitrite level of 0.3mg/L does seem like a problem, I can see that now. It's ...

Re: care for blue spotted tang

If your nitrites and ammonia levels are zero, then your water parameters are fine. However, I'd advise you to double-check for any fluctuations in these levels before adding more fish. Rushing into things can be disastrous, and I'd hate to see you end up with a tank full of dead fish. The thing with ...
