should i run my protein skimmer while i use kick ich?

well just bought some live copepods for my 55 gallon tank and was wondering if my tank which has been set up for at least a month with 50/50 of live rock and dry rock will be enough to sustain them which will make them colonize in my tank???

so im thinking that while i save up enough money to start a QT i am going to go with the garlic option and get Stop Parasite.....will this be a good thing or should i avoid this idea?

well found out that it is ich and would like to know how to get rid of it......i heard about cleaner shrimp and garlic routines but do these work and if they dd remove ich from my fish will they get it again?.......oh due to money shortages right now i cant buy QT for any type of treatment that...

besides the cleaner shrimp will the garlic routine work as well.....and my lionfish and porcupine puffer, since they would not allow the cleaner shrimp to clean them, how will i cure them?......will the garlic routine work with them and if so how will i mix their food(which is feeder fish) with...

well thats my plan.....making it an aggresive tank......hopefully put some rays with lionfis, puffers, banded cat sharks, etc.......if its not a pain in the butt can someone suggest a protein skimmer that will be compatible with my wet/dry sump because i cant seem to find one online.

do cleaner shrimp really remove ich...how about garlic mixing garlic with their food and which is better to use...my two tangs and lionfish have ich and dont know how to get rid of it.....i cant put them a QT because i dont have one so what can i do???

Hi. My fish have been acting pretty strange lately and would like to know what it could be. My two tangs have been scrapping themselves on my live rock and my lion fish is constantly "scratching" himself with his fins. At first I thought that it was all the bubbles from my powerhead bothering...

well decided to go with the wet/dry sump and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on some cheap skimmers and a return pump that will be good for the 300 gallon tank.

just want to know if my clowns and inverts will be compatible with a spine box fish or porcupine puffer and what they eat???

Originally Posted by redman1221 You can get a cheap fish tank and make that into a sump, but if you don't want to do that you can have a hob filter and skimmer if that is the way you want to go. Good luck, but if it was me I would get a sump, oh btw is the tank going to be drilled as in reef...

I am getting a 200-300 gallon tank and want to start what you can in a way call a "Shark Tank". I currently have a 55 gallon saltwater tank that is running without a refugium or sump and has a protein skimmer, live rock, a filter, and a powerhead. What I would like to know is if I can run this...
