It’s giving me a false sense of how possible it would be to do it! Really in two minds about what to do. How frequently do they shed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Having googled, the solution seems to be about cutting the shrimp and pulling off the isopod. See the link below. Now I was also at my LFS today picking up some RO and so also got their advise and basically wasn’t that impressed. They seem to think it’ll come off when shedding. Without...

Thank you all .... googling now! :) Always appreciate the support people on here provide.

Hi. Short and sweet. Should I be worried about this white patch on the side of one of my shrimps? Looks odd to me but no idea what it is. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So. I have three turbo snails and three narcilius snails as well as two cleaner shrimps. I only have 9 fish and so I guess I'm a bit surprised how often I have to clean the glass - once every 5 days or so. Is that normal or is a few extra CUC recommended? Thanks. Andy. Sent from my...

Thanks for all the help everyone. Sadly, despite target feeding and some isolation he did not make it. A shame as they are lovely fish. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, I found him. He was in a rock and I happened to spot him. Took the decision to catch him and have tried to isolate him but if I'm honest I don't have a clue what I'm doing. I'm not sure if that is causing more stress or even if he's eating now that he won't have all the food eaten by...

Hello, I've recently purchased two peacock wrasse and in the early days was suffering from them hiding / sleeping in the sand. I understood this to be normal if they are stressed or sleepy and so just kept an eye on it. After a little while, one regularly came out but the second was less and...

Dam it. Done it again. Just got some really lovely peacock wrasse and although the guy at the local fish shop said they might hide... now they've both totally gone. I know they are in there somewhere! I'm just amazed that i can't see ANY sign of them now. Unlike the snails where you can see...

So 36 hours on and i'm still a little concerned about the fish. Again, totally expecting some of this to be paranoia but would rather double check. I do take on board what people have said, and really appreciate it. I'm sure it must be hard to advise from afar but everyone does a great job...

Okay. I won't rush to get a new just yet. Just feel like they are struggling up the top where the flow is greater. Turned wave Maker ( vortech ) off for now to help a bit. I have a Radion XR30 and an EA Reef 900s. Just normal clowns. Really appreciate the responses. Helping me relax a lot...

You've done great. Thank you. My concern was / is that the two seemed to be always up the top in one corner. The question about flow was because it seemed like they were struggling with the flow a bit and are only small. I'm possibly being over protective but don't want them to be unhappy. On...

So, I'm new to this and I want to check things are okay with my new fish. I'm probably being paranoid but rather be that way than have unhappy fish. Rather than bias the replies though by telling you what mine are doing I'm keen to understand what yours are doing to compare it with what I'm...

Okay. So first big water change of my tank tonight. I turn off all the equipment ( pump, skimmer etc ) and even the wave Maker. My lights are in view mode so I can see better what I'm doing and all three of my narcissus snails come out of nowhere?!? What makes it even more strange is they...

I forgot to ask - when you say they come out at night, where are they in the day? I can not seen ANY sign of them and it's bugging me! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I LOVE Fire shrimps! They are certainly my favourite. Anything to stop me putting one in?

Okay so I finally took the plunge and added some CUC. I have a 200l tank so was advised 3 turbo snails and 3 of some others which name I've forgotten. Now, I think at most I've seen two of the turbo snails at any point in time and the other snails just seem to hide in the sand. Only one of them...

Okay. Thanks ks for the tip about the TMC. As an idea, what are people's thoughts on putting a digital socket timer on the plug for the auto top up? With that in place I could set it to only come on for 5 minutes each day and at a time im around to watch it or notice if it overflows. Ta...

Okay. Tonight's job is installing an auto top up. Nice little device. ( TMC V2 ) However, I can't see how it'll work in this tank ( see photo ). It's a nice large section so you can keep lots of water in it ( I assume ) however isnt it always going to siphon? The water level will always be...

Hmm, yeah that is interesting. Especially as at the moment I haven't added any ammonia. I'm presuming that adding snails is a bit like the fish in method but are hardy? Any particularly good snails to add? Thanks for the text though. Really good reading. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
