Certain putty's although "Fish Safe" suck oxygen out of the water when they are curing. Since your tank is a nano this could have had a very drastic effect and is probably what killed you fish. D-D Aquascaping putty and milliput both have this effect.

Hmm I would guess at clown fish disease. Can this remain in tank like ich. Since it is a similar parasite.

Stringy poo is not a water problem. 4 most likely causes in clown fish. 1. Brookynella 2. Parasitic Worms 3. Dinoflagellates 4. Bacteria Given the speed at which it killed the fish and the fact that there was a mark on it I would guess brookynella. Brookynella or Clown fish disease as it is...

Sorry for your loss. If it's any concilation I only have 3 fish so far 2 clowns with suspected brookynela and a kole tang that has White spot. In some ways i'm pissed off, but as a result of having these problems early I now have 2 hospital/QT tanks setup and nothing is ever going in my Display...

Argh :shout: not only do my clown fish have some disease which i have yet to figure out but my kole tang appears to have white spot and so will have to be put in another hospital tank and treated with cupramine. Should i treat the clowns for ich even though there in a different tank as they...

ARGH These Clown fish are driving me crazy. I've treated them with Praziquentel, Flubendazole, Freshwater dip and Octozin. They are on a good diet with the stable being new Era Marine flakes or Aegis flakes. With occasional treats of mysis. But they still have the stringy poop. The only thing...

Emotional or not. I don't think your wife would try to nuke your tank if she knows how much it means to you.

If the cheaper option is similar to the quality of cheap plastic tubs we get in the UK I think you will struggle to fill them more than half full without them bowing alot and looking like there going to split. What about a water butt or the 25l jerry can or fermentation bin (5-33l). Old Salt...

Doesn't it depend on the length of the "strands". I bought a short length variety as they are supposed to grow slower and be less invasive.

There frags from different colonies. Water Parameters are 0 amm,nitrite,nitrate and phosphate. 1.025 Salinity. There both getting exactly the same flow and light the only difference really between the 2 is the one that has shutdown has been in the tank longer than the other one. I did see a...

I have 2 daisy polyp frags literally 2" from each other and 1 is completely fine and the other one has completely shut down and hasn't opened at all for a few days. Any ideas ?

I'm really careful what i put up anywhere on the internet. Working in IT has made me paranoid. Personally mate I would contact the police. Using forums to get people's phone numbers and other info is one thing, but threatening your family is completely beyond the pale.

Loan , credit card pah. Re-mortgage your house more like. but money is a harsh mistress no matter how much you got you always need just a little bit more.

I think milliput and d + d equivilent remove oxygen from the water when they are curing so be careful.

You could use a product called "Fluke Solve". It's active ingredient is praziquantel which is a wormer. It states on packaging that it will not effect plants or biological filter. My personal experience is in using it for Marine fish.

Would you want to trust a cheap tatooist fishy :hyper:. Aquarays are amazing, they run a few at my LFS and the corals look great under them. Little bit pricey for my tastes but i may switch over slowly but surely. Nice tatoo's, don't know why but i find the idea of other fish fanatics with...

This may or may not work depending on the type of partition that was used when the drive was created but try it anyhow. You need to go Control Panel Administrative Tools Computer Management Select Disk management option on the left under storage. This Should now show the physical disk, split...

IT crowd :wub: it

Do you know if c: and L: are seperate physical drives or if there partitions on 1 drive. If there on one drive you could use something like partition magic to resize the partitions. What OS you running too as that might make answering a bit easier.

I might be able to help whats up.

I've just recently purchased a Kole for my Reef Tank. He is spending most of his time hiding in the caves and swim throughs at the moment but i'm hoping once he settles a bit more he will come out on show. Surprised they are not more popular.

Hey Don't hate the player, Hate the game. He's Done a lot for the hobby. Some things good, some things really, really Bad.

Lol surely the Clown fish is the flag ship fish. Every shop LFS that has anything even remotely salty has to slap up at least 30 pictures of clowns. I would go with the smaller tank weeza as others have said. Marine is a long term hobby so as your frags grow you can start saving up to setup...

cheers seffie. I've got frozen mysis on hand. should i feed a bit of flake in between ? What is spiro ?

Just a quick update I've QT my 2 clowns and treated with Praziquantel Based medication. The spot on the face and fin have gone now but there poop is still white and stringy. I've heard that the stringy poop can be a sign of malnutrition. But Not really sure where to go from here ?

I have a 6 x 4ft t5 luminaire. The lighting is split into 2 sets of 3 tubes. 2 x actinic and 1 Blue Plus. 50/50 blue,6500k and a 14000k. What are the best light timings. Would 10 hours with blue and 7 hours with both blue and white in the middle be ok. or should i shorten or lengthen this...

Yeah that would be fine but as others have said I've heard shoking things about that site.

Reef Crystals and D and D pro reef Salt I see mentioned alot. I use Kent which is also fine. As long as you get a good name Brand I think salt is salt. There are lots of chemical analysises out there of different salts but I shouldn't get to caught up in it.

Depending on the salt 800-900 grams for 25l of RO. So 3.4kg of salt for a 100l approx.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/fishtank-/170660701529?pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Fish&hash=item27bc2ba559 11 Oscars, 4 Green terror, 1 Red devil and 2 large catfish in a 500l tank.

Although the chance of one of the heaters failing is higher with 2 heaters. A low power heater even permanently locked on is going to take a long time to push the tank temperature up to dangerous levels. This gives you more oppurtunity to notice the issue and rectify it before you lose stock...

Equipment Filter - 1400L/H APS External (Will need Filter media, what should I be using in a marine? I have spare ceramics but is that needed?) Do you have this external already spare or are you thinking of buying one ? I wouldn't buy a external filter specifically for a marine tank. If you...

If you where in the UK I would definetly reccomend ebay. But I do understand with aus being a much larger land mass with a much smaller population density there may not be the deals locally as you would hope. I bought all 3 of my tanks from ebay and have saved anywhere upto 80%. Drilling a tank...

Setting up my QT/hospital tank to worm my poor Clown fishes.

You can run skimmer on a timer to go on and off as you please. You will get mixed opinions on whether you can/should run a nano with a skimmer. My view is the more rubbish you can remove from the water between water changes the better. Marine fish are used to very stable enviroments and the more...

I got these as a hitchhiker on some of my live rock. You need to be careful though as they will spread to any other LR in contact. The brown are pretty common i believe with green and blue being rarer and therefore a bit more expensive. Don't pay £25 for them. I said i Would break a bit off for...

I compost a carrier bag full of cheato a week but at the moment it has some sort of brown algea on it so I wouldn't want to risk infecting anyone elses system.

Be vewy vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits

I've ordered both a Flubendazole and praziquantel based anti-parasite/wormer any idea which i'm best using. Or should i do one first and then the other one afterwards. Also found quite an interesting article about Marine medicine cabinet. It's a link to another forum so if this is against the...

I'll probably go down looks like it could be very interesting.
