    Need help trapping livestock

    I use two nets...1 large one and 1 smaller, I usually chase the fish with the smaller one into the large one. sometimes it takes a few trys but works for me...however you may have trouble if you have a lot of "hiding spots" around your tank (ie: live rock ect.) Good luck

    Need advice

    Well, after more research, I realize I need to get a refractometer, I was using a swing arm Hydrometer to measure for Hypo, I do have a cleaner shrimp and an emerald crab so, I think I'll just get a second larger QT tank and start the treatment and leave my DT fallow for 6 more weeks. The...

    Need advice

    My QT is still in hypo this time with copper however it is too small to house all my fish. I am trying to get a hold of another tank to start hypo on the fish in my DT and this time combine it with copper. I just don't want to expose my coral beauty and blenny to fish that currently may have...

    Need advice

    Ok....I am at a loss for words and it is only due to my extreme fustration. I went through an outbreak of ich which I thought I had successfully treated. My DT was fallow for 6 weeks during that time I was treating my two clowns and firefish with hypo in my QT. I then reintroduced all fish...

    Has anybody ever bought a fish from ----

    For those who have ordered from them...I read that they have quarantine tanks and I wanted to know if you still quarantine your fish when you receive them?

    QT a cleaner shrimp?

    cool, I guess I was just a bit over-cautious as I just got over ich in my main tank. After what seemed like forever my main tank now is alive with fish again.

    QT a cleaner shrimp?

    Hey everyone, Just had a quick question. I just got a cleaner shrimp and the guys at my LFS told me I didn't have to quarantine it. I thought better safe than sorry and he is now in my QT tank. Was this sound advice or did I act correctly?

    Quick question about ICH

    I have a question for all those who have more experience than I do. (Which is just about everybody) OK, very simple...can you bring ich into a tank by adding Live Rock without QT? This seems to be what I did as I QT'd my fish for 4 weeks before adding them to my tank. The saleperson at my LFS...

    BIGGEST mistake you've made in the hobby

    Just getting started, and after being very patient and doing a lot of reading and research, my firefish and clowns were doing great in my cycled 75G. However, I was unaware that you had to also quarantine any live rock. Now the firefish and clowns are back into quarantine undergoing...
