As title states. When I try to login I get this error message? ive tried unfollowing INDMAS & refollowing. Deleting Tapatalk and reinstalling it. Resetting my password and trying again. So far, none of these have solved the issue, anyone got any ideas?

The pearlscale ate a few LPS corals, a hammer n frogspawn, he left the torch and galaxea, and a couple chalice's. Everyone leaves the sps alone, including a few different Angels, butterflies, triggers and even the puffer that I added about 5 months ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, I don't actually know if they are a pair. I bought them as a pair but they don't spend much time together and every blue moon the big one chases the little one but nothing serious. Not sure how to verify Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, yeah you don't notice the growth as much until you look back at pictures. First pic was March. Second pic was 2 weeks ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Update from today and a bit of Slo-mo video. https://vimeo.com/150063701 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This happens to me way too often. I normally set a timer but that isn't flawless. So I installed a float switch that triggers when full to send me a reminder via the apex.... I've still overflowed the barrel once though, even with that safeguard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Neither. I don't use GFO or do water changes. Phosphate is regularly around .50. SPS is doing just fine. To do this you have to have high flow and high intensity lights. Here's some pics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The vet only worked til 12 today and was fully booked, so planning to take him Monday. He seems to have calmed down a lot and stabilized since my last post, and made it through the night with no problems, will keep you posted. Thanks again for letting me know about the vet mrs bug, hope your butterfly comes around too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Need to update with pics soon. I caught this last night when I was looking at the tank when lights were out. Never seen Hermit Crabs exchange shells before, but was pretty interesting. I guess the exchange got a bit shady, as one didn't want to go ahead with the deal and the other was left without a shell for a while. Ended up moving an empty shell close to him to give him something to get into haha funny how you get invested in these little creatures and can't go to sleep until you know if he got into a new shell safely or not haha Start of the exchange https://vimeo.com/134468472 Finally gets his new shell https://vimeo.com/134468676 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I finally caught him today. It took him a while to get comfortable with the fish trap. But it worked like a charm. The trap door functioned so smoothly he didn't even realize it had closed until after the fact. Ive located a veterinarian in the area that actually deals with fish, I went and met with them earlier this week to make sure they could do this. He's now in my hospital tank, but he's not looking so hot, looks like the added stress has made it harder for him to control his buoyancy. For the past 5 days in the display tank he's been spending most of his time resting under rock ledges so I knew it was not looking good, I think resting up against the Rock has given him some small wounds and perhaps a secondary bacteria infection of some kind so I've treated the HT with some NitroFuracin Green to help that. He's now resting under a piece of PVC pipe in the HT. If he makes it through the night, he's going to the vet to get checked out and see if we can do anything about this. Fingers crossed.

Still swimming. I am still thinking about a) taking him to the vet that mrsbug mentioned (concerned the stress could kill him) b ) venting the swim bladder myself (don't think I'm capable) I've built a fish trap and waiting for an opportunity to catch him but still debating on the steps after that. I really don't want to lose him, but from every bit of research I've done, when the swim bladder expands randomly like this and not right after capture, it doesn't end well, even if I vent people have told me it expands again in just a few months. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, I really don't see him surviving this but willing to try my best for him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great idea guys! I've got some green birdsnest, and birds of paradise frags you can have too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry to see this happen. I lost power too for 3 hours. I have secondhand UPS that I snagged on eBay for dirt cheap, plugged in the gyre and that did the trick for 3 hours. Can post more details about that setup if someone is interested. Will run the gyre for over 10 hours. After that it's power converter time. (Tip for UPS search. Only buy SINE wave!!)

I'll see, on such a small fish I'd be worried I may hurt him or damage another organ in that area, will see if I can take him to the vet before I do anything myself. Here he is swimming, definitely swim bladder I think, the way he swims down so hard. Pains me cos he was my first butterfly, he's got great character and a beautiful fish. P.S. Don't judge my cyano it's driving me insane. https://vimeo.com/133306188 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's awesome! Thanks MrsBug. I'm building a fish trap and was gearing up and trying to get the courage to do this myself, so will give them a call and see if I can just take him in. I'd rather have a professional do it lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That video makes it look so easy. Damn. Can fish correct the swim bladder on there own? Could it heal with time? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm starting to think that for now I should just let it be. He's been like this for a month now and is still swimming and is still eating. I just hope that maybe with time he can recover on his own. I feel that as invasive as this treatment might be, it has more chance of doing more harm than good. If his health deteriorates then may have to reconsider, will keep you posted. Thanks atomic, nice to know it has been done, just not got the confidence in myself to do it lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He looks like he's having a harder time swimming. It looks like he has to really exert himself to swim if that makes sense. But it's been like this over a month now and he seems healthy otherwise and is still eating, he still gets about the tank even. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any doctors or vets on here that might be able to help me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What we need is a fish doctor! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have a butterfly whose swim bladder has bloated. His belly has been bloated for over a month. Someone on another forum suggested needling his swim bladder, just wanted to see if there was anyone that has experience with this who could help me or even do it for me as I feel I would totally mess this up. PM me if you have done it before and could do this for me, would be happy to pay you a fee even or pay you with some frags Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
