brown heniochus won't eat.

Oh..My cucumber etc are doing great, and would't they be the fist to feel the effects of a high nitrate tank?

We drove ourselves nuts over tests. All Corals, clams, Fish & inverts looked good, but the nitrates tested throught the roof! It was a faulty test kit. Take a sample to your LFS to be sure.

Will do. I am going to J&L tomarrow anyways to buy some rock.

Hes pretty much gone, hes propped up oagainst a rock but still breathing. I hate the helplessness. If it was a cat or dog I could take it to a vet....Fish are almost impossible to help. I just finished reading about that guys puffer that exploded..It is a bad feeling and having to watch you pet die. I think i am going to stay away from the more touchier fish for now since I only have about 1 1/2 years experience. I just have a peaceful community and you are limited in what you can have. Maybe I will go for a tang after i let my tank re-balance and I get the water tested.

some tangs are just as touchy as a heniochus. Ask and make sure you get a hardy tang. Stay away from powder blues/achilles/clown tangs as beautiful as they are.
