Yeah I will call them tomorrow. Pretty upset. Esp given how expensive they were for not even the right size. The next lfs is over an hour away.

Great now one of the skinny ones is having swim bladder issues. Hopefully I'll be able to get my money back if he dies, this is awful.:( idk why I'm such a whimp when speaking up about stuff like this. They'll never make it even if I get the right treatment for them cause I think they are too...

Thanks for the reply, they did with gusting even the skinnier one. I'm researching loach skinny disease and man, it's vast. I mean 8" would have been awesome!! Hence the insane amount of money for them but uggh very disappointed and I used to to work in a fish store, I would have not sold...

So I had the LFS order me some dojo loaches. They were supposed to be 8" and I paid $20 a piece for them....you know...expecting them to be huge. Well they came in today and are hardly 3" and 2 are very emaciated. Uggg. Yeah I know. I shouldn't have taken them. But its not the stores fault the...

Well its been a while, but I'll do an update, just for the heck of it. So the tank had a bacteria bloom and I lost my hawkfisk. I got the bloom under control and tank is back to normal. I got a flame hawfish and he's doing great. Also my regal angel came in from Dr. REEF! day 3 and hes eating...

This is the brand I have. It *should* have been okay. I have so much leftover sand/flourite/eco complete in buckets from failed tanks. Just for whatever reason anything I used made the water cloudy or made the tank not cycle right. Drives me nuts. I've got a 29g upstairs with mixed gravel and...

I honestly probably still have an unopened bag downstairs too. Wasn't anything fancy, I had issues with this other expensive live plant rock substrate that refused to cycle my tank so now that's in a bucket too. Yes it was rinsed many times. It's very fine. But there's no fish in the tank as of...

Now I'm not talking cycle cloudy or bacteria bloom cloudy, honestly most people probably wouldn't notice but I'm anal about having crystal clear water. My tank upstairs is good. So I bought some black sand (don't know brand, just what was at the LFS for freshwater) and I used it for my 29 south...

Just a little update for those who may be following or check back! ^_^ I feel this has turned into my personal reef blog xD Tank is doing great, been keeping up with w/c and the nitrates are down to 20ppms!!! YAY!! success!! I have had the biopellet reactor running for a month now I added about...

QT 29g almost setup. I have a fluval 306 canister filter that isn't being used, just waiting for a spare hose to come in today and can get it up and running! Will put another 20g next to it on the floor for the 2nd part of the qt. When we are done QT our new fish (white tail bristletooth tang...

My starry blenny has made artwork along the back wall lol figured you guys would enjoy the pic! Finally got my AquaMaxx omega biopellet reactor up and running. Now just waiting a month to see progress/add more pellets and if I'm not mistaken I believe my nitrates are around 50 or 60ppms now! It...

HAH. I spoke too soon. My algae blenny is just fine he hid for a few days and the wrasse forgot about him and no longer sees him as food. He's been active and exploring the tank and eating a TON of algae. Soooo much, it's awesome. He hasn't taken any frozen food or pellets but probably...

So I ordered a starry blenny from the LFS and it took 3 weeks to come in. But I picked him up last night and well I knew it was going to be iffy because of the wrasse but I thought I would give it a try. (He wasn't expensive and I really wanted an algae eating blenny since I can't have snails)...

Wanted to do a little informative update my foxface has recently developed HLLE. Now I have had professional advice from 3 experts that has finalized my conclusion on my fish's condition. I scoured the internet, forums, anything to figure out what was wrong with my fish. He started developing...

I am seriously so excited about the nitrates...because unfortunately my poor Foxface developed HLLE during the nitrate spike. I am on the verge of putting him into my 29g Q to treat him for bacterial after effects. (I'll post some pics in another post) I WISH I could give you some small tanks...
