It is one rock that fit into a stock pot so I figure around a 1 - 1 1/2 pound rock in my 90 gal tank with about 125 lb of rock. I boiled in fresh rodi scrubed then rinsed in rodi should I stick it in the sump for a month or just put it back in the display?

Well I tired to inject them with lemon juice and vinager but there were a few inside a hole in the rock that I couldnt reach so I ended up boiling the rock last night. I boiled it in rodi water for 10 minutes then let it cool in the pan. I plan on scrubing it today. do I just put it back in...

I have 1 rock that has over 16 aiptasia on it. I noticed it yesterday pulled the rock out of my tank it is now sitting in a stroyform box with fresh saltwater (not from the tank) Is there anyway I cant put something in the water like lemon juice to let the things eat it with out using a...

Can the fish be getting too much garlic and selcon? Watching my fish today I have noticed there bowel movements are really "watery" No solid at all just dark water with seaweed pieces. I am adding 1.0 ml (full eye dropper) of selcon everymoring to the food along with 1/2 dropper full of...

Ok My fish are looking better my hippo has very few ich on her but the purples still have alittle on them. I have left them in hypo and have done nothing else. Should I just keep them in hypo till all signs are gone then start the 3 weeks from there or should I raise the salinity wait 2 weeks...

All fish are still eating like champs I have been adding selcon and garlic extreme to food. They still get there algae sheets. I switch between green, red, green veggie sheets dont know if there is a difference tho.

Sep, I finally found some Methylene blue today can you give me exact instructions on how to use it. Also do I do one fish at a time or all at once? Should I just wait it out longer and see if the ich will go away or should I treat with copper? I do not want to treat with copper if there is an...

Is copper the only option as I am doing hypo in the display with only sand in it? My fish are too big to put in my ht/qt all at the same time. If I do the copper in the display then what will I not be able to keep in there in the future?

Yes I understand that copper is toxic and to only do it under normal SG. I have coppersafe but others have said to use a differnt kind of copper is there a difference?

The salt is always mixing. We have a rodi set up in the backyard with 60 gallons of rodi fresh at all times. We have a 30 gal mix of saltwater for my tank and a 30 mix for the reef tank. When we do water changes the used saltwater gets replaced almost all and then is made again with a pump...

No this is not a current picture but that is how it looks right now. I check the SG at least 3 times a day. In the morning before I feed them. Mid afternoon then before I go to bed. It is very rough looking almost to the point that I could grab a pair of tweezers and pluck it off. Like I...

I think Beth had a typo I think what she meant to say was getting the fish from a different store/lfs not "gutting" your fish A QT tank you want to be ready for anything. I dont keep any medicines in mine unless a fish needs it. It is mainly there so you can watch the fish for 3-4 weeks for...

Sorry to reply so late feel asleep. I am using a refractometer like I stated last week. We even bought a second one to double check. It looks the same as in the previous pictures. LARGER then a grain of salt on my Hippo but now my foxface looks like he has something under his skin so to speak...
