I have baby (1 3/4 inch) clown trigger in my 20 gal and I just recently noticed he looks different than normal. I am worried about him of course, since I don't want to loose this spendy fish. He has a few spots on each side that looks like parts that he has rubbed off. They are pinkish...

I am so new at this.... still unsure of alot .... :oops: I was looking at my nano-reef tonight... 2 weeks old.... and I noticed a few little bug looking things in my tank. They were no larger than 1-2 mm and are white-almost transparent. I am paranoid and wondering if this is a parasite...

I am a total hopeless reef noob- who is trying to get my tank started. I am having one hell of a time figuring out how to get my sump started. We don't know how to start the suction from the overflow cup to the sump. Do we have to accomplish this step first before plugging in the return line...
