Re: care and feeding of the clarion angelfish

I think I found some info on the Clarion angelfish - it's on Wet Web Media, and here's the link:

The article says it's a large fish that can grow up to 6 inches in length, and it's native to the eastern Pacific, specifically around the Clarion Islands - hence the name.

It's a pretty rare fish in ...

Re: A nemo fish tank setup


I've never come across a Moorish Idol that's actually reached 10 inches, but if you're after a similar look, a pair of small bannerfish could work as a substitute. A small blue tang and a couple of clownfish could also be a good fit. I'm not entirely sure what other fish are in the tank, to be ...

Re: phosphate remover for coral tank

GFO's solid, but if you want something gentler, try PhosGuard. It's aluminum-based, so some folks get sketched out, but I've run it for years with no issues. Just don't let it sit too long—swap it out every 3-4 days. What's your nitrate level? High nitrates can make phosphate problems worse.

Re: adding new fish to my aquarium

What are your thoughts on bringing in a new specimen, letting it settle in the QT tank for a bit till it's eating well, and then doing a preventative treatment with meds. I figured it'd be better to let the fish get comfortable and eating before hitting it with meds, rather than throwing it in right ...

Re: adding new fish to my aquarium

I'm all about QT - it's non-negotiable for me.

adding new fish to my aquarium

Considering the recent disease outbreaks among fish keepers, I think it's worth bringing in a new specimen and giving it some time to settle in the QT tank - say a week or so, till it's eating well. Then, as a precaution, we could hit it with some meds to prevent any potential issues.

Re: A tang white spot headache


Blimey, mate, it sounds like you're having a right old nightmare with your tank. I'm thinkin' your Pacific Blue tang might be showin' some stress lumps, just like my Regal tang had a few weeks back. Keep an eye on him and when he's settled back in and reclaimed his old territories, they might just ...
