photography wise, your problem is either that the camera is set not to focus so close up in which case you need the macro setting ,or more likely the small movements which are impossible to avoid when holding the camera are blurring the photo, try a tripod or if you dont have one, or set the...

I have a small (50l) tank with two clownfish and a six line wrasse currently. The problem is that anything else I add to the tank is chased and eventually dies due to the wrasse being territorial and in turn quite aggressive. He seems to leave the clowns alone but so far he has chased to death...

Sorry to say you are spot on, next morning it had gone completely, checked everywhere bu no sign, thought that perhaps something had eaten it until I read this. Odd that it's just this one though as I have added 7 small frags over the last two weeks and the rest are all fine, and water is fine...

Just added some frags to the tank, one of which was a greeny brown mushroom coral. Initially it opened up and closed at night, last night, after about a week, it went into a trumpet shape for the night, and today shrivelled up to its smallest size and started to exude stringy pinky-brown slime...

Got mine out by persiverance. first time took the media out and fidhed him out, second time tempted him out with some brine shrimp. Have to keep iy in the place you want him to swim to though. Also got a drinking straw and disturbed the bottom so he would swim upward.

Started with two and ended up with three as when he initially went missing got another one quick so my little girl did not get upset. They did challenge for dominance after we found the one in the filter but it was this original one that seemed to be the odd one out. He did not sem to have...

So as you've probably gathered from the title one of my clownfish has just died. The oddity is how he declined, and the reason I post this is to see if anyone else has experienced this and knows the exact reason why... I am particularly upset because he displayed all the traits of the real...

PS the damsel's temprement is fine, he was added last which helps, but so far he's not fallen out with any of the other fish, had much more trouble with the wrasse which chased an orchid dottyback to death.

The Wrasse is difficult to get, one day I'll get him in focus properly. Distance wise these are taken at full zoom (55 on a 18-55 Nikkor lens) as close as the camera will focus, probably about 8 inches away from the fish or crab. I like the shot of Pinchy the crab as well, he's about 3/4...

Great focus, here one of mine but yours is a better photo

the amount of food is what the shop said to do so I'll try less. The water seems fine in terms of zero amonia and nitrite, but does have a higher level of nitrate, perhaps this is the cause? Thanks for the credit card tip, works a treat on the glass. Also considering getting a pair of...

currently I change the water about once a week, and feed a pinch of flake in the morning and half a cube of frozen brine shrimp (cut small) in the evening. Do these sound about right? The shimp seem to finish off any left overs if there is any.

Oh and lastly whats the best way to clean the glass with minimum upset to the fish? there is a let of algae growing on it now. the snails will eat it but they dont leave it clean enough.

Also I regularly test the water and weekly do a small water change 10-15%. The amonia and nitrite is constantly zero, the ph s now 8.3 -8.4 thanks to the rolling effect as described above, but the nitrate is very high. Any suggestions for lowering this so that I can safely add corals. Also I...

About a month on and now got two percula clowns, an electric blue hermit crab, two small scarlet legged hermit crabs, two turbo snails, and recently teo deep red fire shrimps.  Some photos of the inhabitants below.

Hi All I'm new to this, but I thought I'd take a picture every few weeks of how my aquarium develops, should of started earlier as I would have found it helpful to me to see what it all should look like but here it is... Just less than month old with the live rock in and the cycle just...
