gmann you got it right. When I let the system run, it drops down to the highest of 2-3. And if the system isnt working right how would i check it if the TDS is showing me it is correct?

I have been fighting a pretty big hair algae problem for a few months now and just cannot win. I have a Phosphate reactor that has been running 24/7 for the last week and I saw a shift to 0 on my test for Phosphate, but in the last few days it has shot back up and I am not seeing any decrease of...

I believe I just went through this same thing. If you can get pics up we can help you out a lot more in telling you EXACTLY what it is. It is probably a Diatom bloom. Mine was there for about 2 weeks and then just went away. The only thing I would say is that your Ammonia should be at 0. Just...

Thank you for clarifying for me! I was told from someone on another forum that it feeds off of ammonia but still wasnt completely sure. Thanks Mr_X

I love the baby midas! I have a medium one and love him. His personality is so apparent its awesome! One of my favorite in my tank! ... probably would have preferred a smaller one to start!

He has been in the QT for around 2 months now. The symptoms started to show around 3 weeks after he was in QT when I was about to start transferring over to DT. I was told by this board to treat for ick through hypo, then switched to copper. I have currently cleaned out the QT completely and...

I was looking into HILE and from what my tang looks like, it isnt that. He never stops swimming and eats everything i put in his QT. I have tore down the QT and cleaned it with vinegar to get rid of the copper. Waited 2 days and placed new water and acclimated him back to the QT. He still...

well how about a 20g QT with a very small puffer and a medium foxface? They both came down with ick in my DT...

I have never tried, but does any one quarantine more than 1 fish at a time? Is it okay to do?

he has been in the QT for over 2 months tho and it hasnt gotten any better... So dont worry means... Put him in the DT or dont worry it will eventually go away? He has never not been swimming fine or eating great. I would like to free up my QT so I might be able to purchase another fish and QT him!

I am thinking about taking it back... but for future reference... what kinda of antibacterial medication would I use?

I had to use a small powershot switch isnt the best to take pictures of fish with but I hope this works! After doing some more research I am starting to think it is Lymphocyctis. I was originally told it was Ich but it is growing above the skin and hasn't touched the fins, only stayed on the...

I will have me pics up later tonight! Thanks for the concern!!

sorry that is a typo on my part. I am using the red sea copper test that is showing it copper at .5

An update! It has been a while since I have posted on this specific thread because I have transitioned to a larger tank, and also stopped the hypo and not addministered cupramine to help treat my sick Tomini Tang. I have been treating my tang with copper for almost 2 weeks now, and still...

I have QT'ed all my fish. I have currently been QT my Tomini Tang who came down with bad ich... for at least 1 1/2 months. I have tried both hypo, and now am trying copper, but not really seeing any results... :-(

I am going to have to aggree with these comments! I had a pro on my 55g and it worked great! pulled a lot of skimmate out! this forums seems to really like remoras! lol
