LOL, you got that right!:D
I use to have more, but I've been downsizing my tanks.

Haha do you keep them all together? You must have a big house I've only just squeezed my little one in my room!:D :D

I have the saltwater in the living room.
The rift lake in my husbands home office,
The freshwater in the din and the goldfish are in my children's playroom.

My husbands office use to be my fish room (thats what I called it).
He brought his business home and I've been downsizing ever since.
My children are also at the age where I'm busy all the time doing their stuff (which is all good)...

I've been in the hobby for a really long time LOL, starting to slow down now.

Haha I definitely want to get a bigger tank but I'm afraid I will have to wait until I move out for years I've wanted a marine tank and I've blagged my dad he likes his fish but he's always said its too expensive and hard to do so I've done it myself:D :D

WOW! I'm very impressed! And a good job you're doing too!

Hiya I've noticed for the last few days one of my clownfish seems a bit down. Its hovering above the sand all of my other fish seem OK swimming round I've been feeding them frozen brine which they love but also flakes but my clownies don't seem interested could that be the problem?

Are the nitrates still high?

Yeah I got some of that prime but the instructions are a bit confusing:confused: :confused: I put 5ml into my 58 litre tank and its dropped to 40/20 could it affect only one fish if that was the cause?

Some fish are hardier than others and the effects of high nitrates will effect the more sensitive fish first..
High nitrates can and will cause stress on fish which leads to disease.
I'd just say watch him closely for any obvious signs of disease and watch to see if any fish are picking on him.

You did good with using the prime.
I'm guessing that you chose the "emergency" route for high nitrates since you added 5 ml, is that correct?
Keep using the prime with every water change, your normal dose should be 1.5 ml.
Keep doing this and see if the nitrate levels begin to drop even further down.

By the way, 20 ppm nitrate is looking much better - good job:)

Yeah I did thanks for your help!:D

How can you tell which damsels are male and which are female? Is something to do with the fins isn't it? My clown fish hs definitely perked up a bit today for a few days it were "quiet".

That's a tough question because I believe they can be either sex.
For instance, if you have 2 females, one can change into a male...
I know that sounds crazy, but I believe that's what I remember about them LOL.
I'll have to look that one up, because I'm just not sure. I do know that they have no outside appearance differences and the males are the ones that take care of the eggs after they spawn...
I'll check on the sex thing and let you know.

Yeah I've read that about the clownfish I didn't believe it at first! Lol

When I looked in my tank there was a small creature thing on my clownfishes fin I went to get my dad came back and it had gone! What could it have been? It looked like a small wood lice creature

Hiya one of my fish keeps rubbing on the rocks it has been for a while I noticed a few white spots but they are faint and not always noticeable could it be ICH? Would it do my fish any harm if I put a treatment in the tank even if its not that causing it?
