OK I will try everyone's advice. It seems to be something I havn't done to use main tank's water. Maybe I should also use a filter pad from the main tank's sump.

its a 2 inch blue tang. I DO NOT have any other choice but to put him in the 10g QT. my display is a 90 g. how can you use yoru display to refresh your QT when your QT is in hypo? any other suggestions to lower my nitrite?

i have a 10 gallon QT tank!. I had to add a ich blue tang into it in a hurry without able to fully cycle the QT tank. I did seed it with filter pads from my main tank. after 1 week now, the nitrite has climbed up to 1 and still steadily climbing up. what can I do now to lower that? I did daily...

OK everyone, here is an update My blue tang has been in QT for 3 or 4 days now. I have NOT yet lowered the salinity to 1.009 yet. He has not showed any white dots for the past 2 days, so I decided to slowly lower the salinity. (plus I have been busy and not able to attend the QT every few hours...

You are correct. My tank is likely infected. However I have 150 lbs of Live rock and few inches of sand and lot of inverts. So i can not treat the entire tank with hyposalinity. Bad news is that my QT is only 10 G, so I can only move the blue tang into it. I have to leave the clown fishs in...

OK I am going to start the hyposalinity treatment. I have my refractometer and a 10gallon QT. My question however is still will a 2-3 " blue tang live in a 10 gallon for a month? Another question is, the only infected fish i can see is the blue tang. When I move him out of the main tank, i will...

I think 2x 150W HQI MH should be enough right?

HQI 150 watt MH over 90G tank amonia, trite, trate 0 salt 1.026 temp 80-82 calcium 470 alk 2.7 i know its low, waiting for 2 part bionic in mail. what do you mean by nutrient. I have never fed them anything before. Mainly because they wont eat anything. I thought lighting alone is good enough.

Is there any specific reasons as to why a coral would lose color? I have torch and hammer that are becoming transparant.

yes, treating for ich. so i can't qt him in the ten?

I am still wondering the following questions on QT. I have a 10 G. Would I need to cycle it fullly if I am going to use my Main tanks' water + a filter pad from main tank? my tang has itch, and it has no time to wait for this 10g qt to cycle. I know in main tank i can only add 1 fish per week or...

thanks scuba doo. I have been doing what you said. The white spots seem to be getting smaller. Those 3 spots i mentioned earlier had all disappeared except for 1 spot on his top. But another new white spot has appeared on his side fin. :mad: You guys think I should move him to QT?

can someone briefly gimme the instructions? I need them to setup my QT tank =( thanks in advance.

so should I put the carbon in a nylon sock before placing it in my canister wet/dry filter?

After about 5 days, I think the hippo is doing a little better. He had 5 sparks of sprinkled salt on day 1 or day 2 , but now only 2 spot left. I hope this means hes getting better. All other fishs have no signs of itch. The only bad news is that the hippo is scratching him self against live...
