Your Reef Tank is Talking about YOU! Ssssshhhhhh!

[Anemone_Fanatic]

The algae gives me a round of applause every time I walk by... Not so sure about anything else, but I don't imagine they're too angry with me.

My 32 says it wants to grow to a 90

 

[alpburakozbay]

Nobody is talking to me.

“Retire already! You can spend more time with me. Those flatworms are killing me.”

No, wait a minute, you can hear the voices in my head?

 

[Spicy Reef]

My tank says "ME ME ME" what a diva!

Right now I have a fish trying to talk to me. I have a 4 - 5 year old Caribbean blue tang that has an outbreak of flukes or Ich. (Large white specks on both sides of it). He eats voraciously (more than usual). Whenever I'm down there, he swims up to the front glass and kisses it and then swims around in front of me, like he's trying to show me that he's sick.

I'm feeding now more than usual selcon soaked frozen food twice a day (usually feed once a day). I've removed fish that were stress inducing fish. (The break out occurred about a week after I removed the stress causing fish).

I suspect that once the fish got a chance to relax, he got parasites. The rest of the fish are fine and show no signs of infection which leads me to flukes more so than ich. Especially since the white spots are larger than I'd expect Ich to be.

He swims in fron of my returns and powerheads fairly often to try to get stuff off of him, then hides under corals to avoid being in the light. He's definitely agitated.

I've thought of doing a fresh water dip, but wondered if that would stress him more than seeing if eating more and higher nutrient food would be enough as long as he stays eating. Also thought about a cleaner shrimp.

But, he definitely is trying to communicate that he wants help!

"Stop touching me" (I futz too much - always got a project that has me around the tank or in the sump, but it's growing season for Bonsai, so I don't have any other projects like styling trees that I can do until it cools off)

I've got word from a fish that knows another fish, that is cousins with some other fish that's friends of a coral is telling me they are thinking about getting a restraining order against me.

let me know if you need a lawyer to defend you

 

[Reza’s Mixed_Reef]

It’s telling me I love my Acanthophyllia’s and they love me back

Jokes aside all folks tell me how well it looks, it’s a challenge to keep a mixed reef. So the consistence “hard “ work is rewarding when things are blooming.. that’s what it tells me the most..

 

[Nano_Man]

My tank would say he is that tight he will not buy any modern equipment

After my first crash that I recently went through everything is a lot happier right now with the reboot.

[Dburr1014]

Probably not good.
Always poking and prodding.
