We have had our possum wrasse in the UNS 45A for 4 days now, and it has freaked us out a few times! Walk by the tank and PW is laying on it's side not moving..... *sigh* come back with the 'grabbers of death" and it is swimming around with the clowns. Next day PW is laying against the wall...

In reality it’s a fancy shower mat, it is rubber coated on the bottom.

Blue Petco Water Change Rug! Since adding it, my skimmer behaves, the ich is gone, and my nitrates and phosphates are in a decent range! Ok not really. But haven’t seen the ich in a couple days now…. I will say it is because of the mat :D

I have dedicated clean bucket, and waste. Plus I wash them thoroughly after each use :)

if we need to treat fish we are looking into alternatives to copper. We have a separate gravel vac for each tank. That would be the only thing shared between them. We also have multiple fish nets.

Not sure if I am going to make a new tank journal.... But we officially have a 3rd tank now. Picked up a UNS 45A. Really nice little tank. And a small possum wrasse.... Which was a surprise to me, as I literally had to get the 9 gallon up and running in one night. Wasn't to hard, Made 7 gallons...

do you have a picture? My wife wants an urchin, and might be interested. We are in San Jose.

I will admit none of my fish looked like that with exception of the plague bringer. That's what was so puzzling, in our fresh water tank, the glofish looked like your tang. Other that the Pajama, none of the others looked half as bad as the above tang. Right before our tomini died, we only...

Thank you Michael and others for the words of wisdom. I am thinking 3 - 4 days after we put the pajam in the tank. The CBB stopped eating about 2 - 3 days after introducing the pajama... and from there it goes on. Some of the fish it is hard to spot the ich... but on the fox face it is sadly...

it was a complete surprise to us as well! I don't like any of the nem guards for the orbit right now. I still have some 3D software from when I had a 3D printer, I am playing on that to see if I can make something. The really odd part to this..... My wife's glofish tank has a Sicce wave maker...

update..... a s****y one at that. Started about 2 weeks ago. The CBB which was eating, and looking happy was found dead at the bottom of the tank.... Heartbreak, it was doing so well, and we had no idea why it seemed to suddenly die. My wife scans the tank and watches is it for hours, and...

I am here in San Jose, and the only thing that woke me up is my phone telling me after the quake happened. I did run down and check all the tanks, and they were fine, and this morning I had less than normal skimmer activity..... so maybe I need more quakes... my tank likes them. I don't have my...

I will gladly volunteer for the raffle, and if you need a hand with setup. Wife can do photography if you like. Cell Phone or DSLR?

2 months and change

That is the skimmer, and yeah I know it's overkill. I didn't realize this when I picked up the tank and was offered a great deal on the skimmer. When it first started acting up is when I downloaded the manual and read it, and then realized "oh eff this thing is to big." But then it calmed down...
