I have a hippo tang that when my lights go out she squeezes herself inbetween my LR. As soon as they come back on she comes back out and is acting normal again. Has anyone ever seen or heard of this. Is there something wrong with her that I just dont know about. Thanks for the help Josh

Here is what my tank looks like so far. It looks great. The anemone picture would have been really good to enter into the January Contest but either way Enjoy. There will more to come.

I ordered my lights from them and they were good priced and great shipping. The new lights work great and everything seems to like them.

I have seen GMUBeach's and I really like how everything is setup and just packed in. Just seems convinient to me that it has everything built in.

Yes, I know that 30 is small but I plan on getting a bigger tank hopefully before she outgrows this one. She is only an inch or so right now and seems to be doing fairly well. If there are any problems I will not hesitate to let her go to someone with a bigger tank.

Yet something else I need help ID'ing. We should really get a place in the forum for Identifying stuff including Diseases and Parasites. Just a thought I just got a couple of new pieces of LR and noticed some light purple stuff on it. Well after I got it in my tank I noticed that it had little spikes that come up out of it and at the tip of the spikes there are bright green dots. Well this afternoon, They were opened up so I think they are some kind of coral. Sorry for the bad picture but its the best I can do cause they are so small. LMK if you know what they are. Thanks

Well I got my last fish for this tank. I know she will out grow it but I have intentions to eventually get a bigger tank. If she outgrows before I can get a bigger tank I will probably have to get rid of her :( but we will see how it goes. I got a Very small hippo tang. She is smaller than my clowns probably only an inch or so. She seems to be adjusting well. Here are some pics. I also got a small feather duster but it hasnt opened yet. Will get pics when it does. Enjoy. And thanks for the help everyone She is really fast and really hard to get a picture of. if I get better ones I WILL POST :P Thanks

Well the hippo tang will be the last fish in THIS TANK. (Till I get a bigger one ARRARRR ARRR) Hopefully I can get it to go away and not have to deal with it anymore.

WELL, I got home This afternoon and same drill as the first outbreak. This morning when I got up and turned my lights on my 2 clowns were covered in white specs. So I start to worry AGAIN. When I get home they are fine. No specs. Swimming around and just waiting for food. Any Ideas. Could it be something other than ICH. I am going to start doing a garlic treatment to just kind of boost the immunity systems and see if that helps whatever it is. The other thing kind of off topic, is the Hippo Tang that I just got. When the lights are off, Its like she is off, She doesnt swim she just kind of goes into a corner and sits there. As soon as the lights come back on.... She is swimming around like nothing ever happened. Any Ideas on that topic as well. BTW I will post some pics of her soon. I have to get her to stop for a snapshot. she never stops

How do corals and inverts react to ich?

ITS BACK. I thought that it was gone or that I didnt really have ICH and now it has hit both of my clowns and I want to catch it before it gets to my tiny hippo tang. I am planning on doing a Hypo Salinity, a fresh water dip, and also gonna try the "Garlic Treatment" I know that I should set up a Quartine Tank but I kind of dont have that ability anymore. I was reading somewhere that if I do the Hyposalinity Treatment that it will kill off my LR and pretty much anything else in the tank. Is this true. I guess I kind of dont have a choice but I just got all of my rock that I needed and I hate to kill it. Any suggestions. Should I just lower the salinity a little bit and raise the temp. a little. I think this stuff is related to the DEVIL

I did about the same as far as acclimation How can you tell if it is even still in there??

I just bought some LR and I noticed something. After some research it looks like I have a Bristle Worm. After reading about them They are bad for corals and such. Is this true and if so how do I get rid of it. Can I just pick it off and hope none return can they bite or sting or anything. Thanks Josh

If it hasnt opened in a couple of days will most LFS replace it or give a refund or is it kind of a loss if it never opens

I just got a small feather duster from marine scene. It looked healthy there and so I decided to get it. Got home and it hasnt opened or anything. How long does it usually take before they decide to open up. Also how can you tell it is alive or dead. Thanks for the help Josh

I have a Mated Pair of clowns and a Yellow Clown Goby. Has anyone seen anything like this. Its my Yellow Clown Goby and my Female Clown Check it out. Its funny to watch them cause he will take a ride with her and then hop off. Then she will go near him and just kind of sit there waiting for him to hop on. This may be a stupid question but in mated pair clown, there isn't a chance that they will "Separate". Not that she would be with the goby but more or less lose interest in the Male clown. Enjoy the pics Josh

I Will be there and can't wait.

Here is someone on craigslist selling alot of Marco http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/for/559997826.html Hope it helps

So when are you going to get rid of your first piece. Let me know

Me as well, PM Me if you still have some please. Thanks

That is what it is. So noone has had problems with them. What about my other question above. Sticking to fish.

Thats kind of what I thought they were but wanted to check, Never seen them that small. Now if a fish rubbed up against the glass are the starfish common to stick to the fish. I only ask cause the other day I had a scare where I thought my clowns had ich but then by that afternoon the white specs on the fish were gone. Thanks for the help Josh

I have these tiny white specs that almost look like they have 4-5 little arms extending off of them. Almost like little starfish. I was just wanted to see if anyone could offer a suggestion as to what they may be and if they are good or bad. Thanks Josh

I will work on getting a better skimmer. I do currently have a skimmer it just doesnt work THE BEST. I will try to get one by the meeting time as well. Doesnt Someone want to donate one to a noob :P Just kidding

Does anyone have any anemones that would be good for a 30 Gallon tall. I really want something that clowns will usually host in. I dont really have anything to trade because I dont have my lighting yet. But I will have it by the meeting time. Just let me know what you would like. Thanks Josh
