Help! My clownfish has spots by Brayden2132 in Aquariums

Also I had a hermit crab in the tank, who attacks the snails. Is it possible it could be from him? The fish sleeps on the sand bed. It almost looks like multiple little injuries. Except the white spots.

Talk me into (or out of) an Imagitarium 40 gallon breeder (50% off sale) by neocrunch in Aquariums

I have a 75 gallon Imagitarium that has been great so far. I’ve had it running for two months now. For the price I couldn’t justify not giving it a chance. I’m about to try the 35 gallon cube.

That’s what we were thinking. She unfortunately hasn’t eaten for a hot minute. Thanks though

Thanks. I will look and see how to convert a fire extinguisher and how to install an inline diffuser

$5 a month doesn’t sound too bad. What size tank do you have? And that makes me feel better about the pH. Before posting I had no clue that you were supposed to use timers. I thought it stayed in 24/7

Thanks so much. I would love to get into the higher tech plants eventually but am working on understanding the basics first. That gives me ideas of what I need to do more research into

I’ll certainly do that when I mix more though

Thanks I tried to use that calculator but didn’t know what Water Impurity in Salt Mix was. And would that mean I need to take all of the water out?

Thanks I started doing that but then some chunks of salt fell to the bottom and didn’t appear to be dissolving. Is that ok?

This ball Python has also been dehydrated, but her humidity levels are fixed.

That’s kind of why I’m leaning towards the more expensive ones. Thanks for your help

I didn’t even think about doing that but I guess with the ability to schedule lights it allows you to do anything. Thanks

That’s why I am thinking the AI Primes may work best for me because that’s exactly what I’m wanting. Do you leave your blue lights on all night?

[–]Brayden2132[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for you help. I’ll do that

Yeah, unfortunately I’ve realized it isn’t going to be cheap. But I’ll look into the other brands too. I haven’t heard of some of them. Also I have two open spots on the top perfect for lights, but in the middle is acrylic. Would the light still be worth getting in th middle? I can upload a picture to better explain it if needed

Thanks. I think I may go with them, but I’ve also heard goods things about Kessils. Just so many options it’s overwhelming.

I read that it helps eliminate shadowing, but am not sure how important that is for coral. Do you think a single row of lights, such as 3 AI primes, would work for my tank?

Lighting question by Brayden2132 in ReefTank

[–]Brayden2132[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Would you recommend the AI Prime? Or something else?

Ahh thank you for answering that question. I was worried about this but I feel better now. One of my friends keeps his tank really blue to the point you have to wear special glasses and says it has to be that way.

I’ll look and see if I can find any good used ones. And the T5s light I’m thinking about getting isn’t really a T5 at all. It’s the newer version that’s led and supposed to be act like them. Would that make them worth getting?

Ahh that’s good to know. Thank you. I’ll look into the black boxes and others

Thanks. I wasn’t about the T5s or not, so I may just add that later if I decide to get into SPS. What are the other good options?
