    Clownfish has white spots and cloudy eyes- is it ick?

    I added pictures of my female semi-storm mocha clownfish. What do you guys think the problem is? How should I treat it? This it started as soon as I had brought her home from a new fish store. My lfs originally told me to add Melafix, which I did, but it came back and I feel as if it has...

    Here’s to nanoing

    I’m in the process of parting together my 250 gallon beast, got impatient, and saw Waterbox having a 10 gallon cube sale and came up with this. Attached a AI Prime 16 HD Reef on it for good measure. Now debating if I want to make it a nano reef or a nano anemone tank!

    Howdy all, I have a Black Storm clown in a QT tank right now with some concerns. About a week ago the clown was acting strange and had a very thin slime coat and my first thought was that my carpet anemone got a hold of it(which now has a new home). Over the next few days the slime coat...

    1 or 2 clowns

    I’ve been thinking about my clowns I’d like to add once I get my tank set up and all sorted, but I’ve been thinking, is it really necessary to add two clowns?
