Welcome! Funny thing is that knee surgery is part of what caused me to get into reefing

That's a very beautiful Elegance

Nope, just 2 pics show up

Beautiful! Everything looks so colorful!

I was just wondering if anyone had any explanation as to why fish would die a little over a month after being in a tank. It seems like it is past the time when stress from acclimation could cause something to happen. We have had three fish all at separate times last a little over a month. The first two were a Royal Gramma and a Flame Angelfish. Both were eating well then one day they would not eat and by the end of the next they were dead. The last fish was a pipefish. He was great and eating and we were noticing how many pods we had in our tank at night. The next day he was dead. Its a 30 gallon tank and with a clownfish and a baby blue hippo tang (don't worry, he has a tank he will go to in a couple months). They both have been in the tank for a couple months and have not had any problems. In fact they love to swim around with each other. I don't know if maybe we just got unlucky with those 3 fish. If you got any suggestions I would love to know, because we would like to have more than just 2 fish in our tank, but we're scared to risk it. Thanks

Hi I'm very new to WAMAS and new to saltwater fish tanks as well. Been keeping freshwater fish for over 5 years (have 5 freshwater tanks). I am a junior in High School. We have a 30 gallon saltwater reef tank that has been up for almost 4 months. We made some mistakes at the beginning but got some good help from a WAMAS vendor, Quantum Reefs. My family and I were at the social at Quantum Reefs. Really excited that we stumbled upon this information gold mine. Met a lot of other really nice saltwater fish tank owners. We're always open to any help or advice(and free stuff) as we are moving forward in this expensive, but fun hobby! We are going to try and make it to the talk on the 26th. Matthew
