Sorry it took me a while. I sell cars so I have been kind busy. I have 5 Tangs, 1 Hawkfish, 1 damn damsel. My Wife's damsel. The Tangs are from 3-4 inches and 1 Hippo Tank is 5". He is my treasure fish! I just dont have anymore room for a hospital tank right now in a 3rd floor apt...

Damn, not the answer we wanted to hear. Right now, another tank is not an option for us. Okay...so I raise the temp up...but for how long? How long do we leave it up there?

We are in a 3rd floor apt. We dont have another tank to quarantine. I have been told to raise the temp B4, and I have heard others being told to raise the temp for a short while to get rid of it. I really need more solid input from the pro's !!!

Our 125G reef tank has not had ick for over a year. We took out our skimmer for 1 of those vodka nitrate removal filters, and suddenly 2 days later all my fish have ick. I have 2 heaters. How high should I turn up the heaters and how long. I dont wanna cook my fish !!!!!!!!!!!! Should I do a...

We have a 120g reef tank. Several tangs, lawnblower blenny, few damsels, royal grama, coral beauty. Nothing crazy. Tons of live rock. Our two biggest problems are nitrates over the top! I mean over the top. We have done several 50% water changes and It wont move down at all. Used several...

125 reef tank. In sump skimmer. Up to 150. First settings i guess were too high. Cup was full of water and brown stuff already in the cup. Went to LFS and none of their skimmers had water in the top cup. Bubbles barely overflowing into cup. Told me to lower bubbles to bottom of cup and let them...

We just installed a new skimmer. I dont know how to set the settings. I cannot tell what is right by looking at it. Bubbles, too much water in top cup...these kinds of things??? Any advice from anyone will help.

Thanks!

Okay, the product is called Purigan (sp) ??? Today the LFS told me it is a good sign that it did not peg over right away ( the test ) & that the little bag still needs more time to work. Is this true? Please explain macro algaes?

1 week ago we had a bad leak in our 115g reef tank. Our LFS delivered us our new 120g tank and even helped with all of the install. The old tank was a DAS tank that held all the crap in the enclosed filter which the LFS told us could be the reason we could never get control of the nitrate...

we live in Austin TX, not much choices around here.... that is why we're asking!!! :(

We have a D.A.S 115 gallon tank. The tank is about 13 yrs old... we turned it into marine over a yr ago... and today, I was feeding the fish and felt water drip on my feet.... ohhh then it starting just coming out... OMG!!!! It has stopped for now... howeverrrr..... now what? Does anyone...

NO... ugh.

Yes, one should have come with it. I was uneducated about the in's and out's back then. We have a small half-ass skimmer going but all corals are suffering.

That's right. something to get my corals to thrive, instead of nitrates thriving.
