Well I did a water change and checked all parameters, all was well but the ph was a bit low 8.0 even. I was hoping that beth was right and water quality would improve the situation. I came home from work today and he was in real distress. I made a quick move to get him to the hospital tank that...

Are you nuts? Why would I want that kind of info saved onto my hard drive where my wife might see it! Wife<<I thought you said that new protein skimmer thingy only cost 40 dollars! Me<< well honey I did not make a note on the spread sheet but all those figures are in yen. Just kidding. That...

Ouch. Would making the sand deeper help out any? I would day he only digs down a max of 1 inch or so in a 4-5 inch dsb

I have an ebo jager heater...I was under the impression that it was submersible. I just saw that it say "do not imerse above this line". This has been running under water for weeks now. I understand this belongs in the equipment, but I need input now. I need to move along with putting everything...

Will a diamond gobbie hurt my dsb? He digs everywhere all the time. I love what he has done to the sand as far as how it looks, nice and clean. But I am starting to wonder if he is causing unseen damage?

I am setting it up today with water from my main tank to get it going. My question is shoul I throw a few bio balls from my main filter into the hospital tank? They will not fit into the little cheap hang on filter I plan to use on it.

sorry for taking so long to get back. He is in there with only a diamond gobie and a percula clown. I am setting up a hospital tank today, and doing a fairly large water change. I will have the water parameters before and after the change in a couple of hours You thing water quality will help...

I have a coral beauty with a cloudy eye that is starting to show some signs of poping a bit. I have a 75 gal, 50 lbs lr and dsb with some snails. I just wonder what I should do for this guy before it gets bad. I am in the process of getting a hospital set up. I will have water parameters tomorrow.

I think a gfi will pop on a 5ma disturbance. If it is wired in series it can also protect or be tripped by another circut down the line. I use one and love it. My first thing would be make sure nothing is bad in the tank. Second would be to go buy a new one and install it. There are many cheap...

Well after taking a closer look at the behavior of the tang and clown, I do notice the clown avoiding him and only comming out at night. I have started to feed some whilel the lights are out so the clown will get a bit of food and hold on for a few more days. I have stuck a deal with my lfs and...

So the tang can kill them fairly easy? I will add a skimmer soon. I kinda went double budget on this project and the wife had had about enough. I will have a skimmer and new lighting by the end of the year. This tank has only been running since early march

I havent really seen the tang bother him...but could very well be happening!.....arg I hope not. My family really love him

To make a long story short I have had poor track record keeping fish alive. I have killed 2 perc clowns, bi color (shouldnt have bought) 2 damsels, and a diamond goby. All of these fish went into the tank well, one at a time (never more than 2 fish in the tank at one time), and acted good for...

Where would one purchase copodes to seed a tank. I have a 75 with 50 lbs lr and 4"dsb. I would like just enough to get a good population.

Well to be honest I did not really bother to look at the first ones much. I just wanted to get them out and not let the kids see them. The last one was a fish that was gone for about 3 days I would say. My goby didnt come out much and well when I found him in my filter he had been there 3 days I...

As a matter of fact I have bought new food. Never never stick my arm in the tank if I have any doubt that I may not be safe to do so. I switched soaps that I use before going into the tank. I now use a "camping soap". Very enviro friendly, no phosphates, dyes, perfumes at all in it. I had used a...

What are some creatures that you would not normally see during the day that will kill fish. I have a 75 with 50 lbs of lr and 5" dsb. I keep haveing fish come up dead with no reason what so ever. The yellow tang that has been in there after the cycle completed (4 months ago). All the fish were...

How do you measure the current in your tank? I would just like to check to see if there is any.

If you are going to tie into your house system you MUST GET AN ELECTRICIAN. If you feed power into your house system and dont shut it off from the outside, you will be feeding power outside into a line that may kill someone. You will need a BIG one to run you stuff and your central ac. Maybe a...

when putting mine in I used the cup thing...It worked ok. I had no fish so I did not care what happened. I think it may cloud a bit much for the fish. I would go with MR. Salty's idea. That will also let you clean all the poop out of the cc
