I treated with malachite green and stress coat before they all died then did a 20 gallon change after, skimmer still foaming. Can I use formalin, which I have, or wait 30 days, . Did not hypo , uv is on.

THANK You. The tangs are all dead and so is the clown fish that I suspected to contamate the tank. I did not have a qt tank at the time. Is a freshwater bath a good idea. And if so do I give it before or after acclimation? In any case , no more tangs for me. My coral beauty, puffer, 2 clowns...

HELLO, I have an 80 gal allfish tank and up until last week only about 8 smaller to med size yellow tangs , clowns , etc. All was going good and added a large powder blue and med regal tang, from a reputable dealer where all the fish looked great, Well those two fish were covered with spots...

I added a uv light to kill suspended algae because i couldnt control nitrate even after massive water changes, but this killed my corals instead, so i bleached all of my rock and scoured the tank leaving only the biowheel and sump water, then added all new ro di water sand and the now white rock...

I recently broke down my reef tank and started over but in the meantime my dory contracted ich in my ten gallon . I am now ready to put fish back in the main tank, should i treat it with formalin, I can't put it in the hospital tank because of my snails starfish and dusters

i use reef crystals but after a 25% change ,calcium is practically ziltch, then add turbo calcium until it levels off ,then use esv, but i need twice the calcium part. doing bimonthly changes, battling 40ppm nitrates. only have 4 fish in 80 tank. is red sea better mineralized, i tried the...

red sea mini lab calcium test states ' users of ro water should add calcium by putting coral sand, crushed coral or dolomite in their water storage tank or by using a calcium additive' so iassumed aragonite to be coral . maybe wiser to use the bag for dsb and get the crushed coral.

i'm not dripping kalk yet, but i read that adding aragonite sand to my 32 gal. can will boost calcium, any comments? and if so, what -just dump a 20lb bag of natures ocean , right in ?

well ive had the red sea 50 up for two weeks now and some reduction in the suspended algae , corals seem ok.easy to calibrate .you have to email red sea for the carbon air filter, have carbon in media bag in sump for return from skimmer water.

i have added both, yet with ozone only at 300, i either get only some foam or very white from skimmer, which is more beneficial ? also is it a good idea to add natures ocean sand to ro water tub to boost mineralization ?

sounds like a plan, i'll look into the kent product. upgraded to a mag 7 from redsea 500 pump for my skimmer last night, it was bilowing out foam within an hour as i couldnt get any after adding ozonizer. thanx

po-4 between .05 -1.0 never has moved, keep sponge in sump. how do i drip kalk, sounds like you keep a 5 gal jug w/ pump. my tank evaporates 5 gals a week, always at 78 degrees even w/ lights out allday

my phospates are low , been debating about kalk, right now i am experimenting w/esv, calcium is allways low though., been doing alot of changes- 25 gals, for an 80 gal tank

yeah i use ro di and adding calcium just need to reduce trates, takes alot of getting use to. thanx

yeah i guess as long as hes eating, trying to keep trates down ,they hover around 30 ppm , added dsb 2in total to help,

please can anyone tell me what can fill this fish. i leave him to graze on clip seaweed but when there is none he 'll pick on the rock allday

i have a smartlite w/ 10,000 k 50/50 and csl retro w/6700 ultra daylight and 7100 ultra actinic, question is are there too many yellows here or which is best or worse, . also i added ozonizer to classic skimmer with 500 gph pump, now not getting any foam, question #2 is will 700 gph cause...

fin, checked on these aquafuge, medium is 13 in long, my tank is 4ft , sounds sufficient.

Thanks Fin - Thought dsb only housed detritus, i took it out and stored surplus 2 months ago, nice aragonite, wonder if it is still good? nitrates around 40, 30 ppm w/ change -15 -20- gals. @ 2 wks. it came with tidepool 2, also have classic venturi, plus magnum micron and 2 402 aquas with...
