    Ich in established tank, please help

    Florida Joe, I do not know how the ich got into the system in the first place. This tank has been established for 11 years. I have been taking care of it for the past 5 and we have not had ich during that time. I yanked the gramma out yesterday. I think that I may just try to do daily 20%...

    Ich in established tank, please help

    I did read through there and thought that the Kent Marine stop parisite might be the best choice but I thought that I would put a post up also.

    sun coral

    ChrisNYM, Viper is quite correct what he said of the lighting requirements for sun corals. Some of my little babies that are in the filter recieve NO light at all. They just open up when they sense the food in the water. Amy L. Cone

    sun coral

    I have a sun coral that has been with me for approx 1 yr, it even spawned some babies 2 months ago that are now everywhere in my tank, including my filter system. Anyway, I feed mine Cyclopeeze enriched with Selcon at least 1X per week, sometimes 2X. I also have a chili coral in the same tank...

    reef vital DNA

    Am I understanding you correctly in that your tank as a whole has only been set up for 1 week? If this is correct you should wait several weeks if not up to 3 months before it has finished cycling and is safe for the addition of livestock and corals. Then the additions must take place slowly...

    Something Wrong

    I have a bac-pac setup and I have purchased some netting material from the local sewing store, it is really cheap. I cut it in a big square, put some carbon in the middle, bring the sides of the material up together and rubberband it together. This is the method that I use amy

    Sun coral

    I have a sun coral that I purchased about 1 month ago. I did LOTS of research so that I was aware of the care needed beforehand for the coral. It took me about 1 week to "train" my sun coral to feed. I can now get him to feed at any time of the day. I don't know if he can feel the vibration...
