  1. You sure iron is not require for freshwater? Too much iron and you'll have a very green and hairy tank
  2. Isn't what you want is here Weekly LFS Stocks Report / LFS Info Centre
  3. That is another good way to get rid mushroom
  4. Cable ties are not good as they get brittle over time and break Can you image having a rock slide in the tank
  5. Dipping in fresh water will remove them...if you want to try. Mushrooms are tough......can't say the same for hard corals.
  6. See whether there are tissue damage on the mushroom or the leather......if everything is OK after a day or 2 then it is fine. Separate them if one start to shrink or die-off
  7. When they start droping like flies Why are you asking this question? Are your corals dying? If you are losing them then your corals are sick If you see the flesh of the polyps start to receed from the skeleton....your corals are sick or starving If you see brown jelly over the polyps of the corals...your corals are confirm dead, no way to save them If your mushroom did not open up for a week then it is sick If your mushroon start to rot....then it is dying Most of the "sickness" is cause by poor water quality, aggression, lighting or parasites.
  8. How does a tang that skinny survive for 2 years?
  9. They are flatworms.....should not cause any problem but it will be better to keep an eye on them.
  10. You normally bring them back as hitch hiker....on LR, on the clams shell and even corals.
  11. Yes butterfly fish of the chaetodon species will definately do the job...they will also clear all the hard corals in the process.
  12. How would you define reef safe? If it does not harm corals and other crustecean...then it is If you consider them eating those pesky zoanthids...then it is not
  13. Not pic of the dead fish but while it is still alive You can always tell when the fish is "not going to make"...like colour, if you observe the fish in your tank, you can tell by breathing rate, swimming pattern etc.... It also depend on whether the fish you buy is heathy Fishes can be injuried during handling Can it take the stress in your tank? .......The water in your tank can sometime cause shock to new fishes so it is always good to aclimatise.
  14. You must post a pic to show the condition of the fish......no one can tell without seeing.......everyone can presume what cause the fish to die but it is no help.
  15. The theory that coral sand will buffer the water is only true in fresh water aquarium
  16. It all depend on what you are feeding
  17. Test your water for ammonia and nitrite. If you get reading for these 2 then your water is not good for fishes.
  18. When they grow too big.......will sting and irritate your fishes They do sting certain corals.......it a win or lose war It always start with just 1 and they can multiply really really fast and difficuit to kill cause their regenerative power is very strong. And they are ugly.
  19. If the dark colouring come on after light out then it is normal.
  20. Ming....Most bristleworms are also call fireworms Hopefully those that can cause serious injuries are not found here.
  21. Forget to add....getting a good skimmer will also help
  22. Not really bad for corals unless they get covered by cyano...If the cyano is doing this then your nutrient is very very high And also corals don't do well in poor quality water
