Please list a good clean up crew for a 70g. tank with 2 cleaner shrimp, 1 clown, 1 hermit crab, and 1 three and one half inch queen angel. I do have a reasonable amount of brown algae with very little green algae. The crews listed on this site seem to be a heck of alot of animals to add to my...

Tank is four mth. old, LRLS, 70 gal., brown algae on glass and sand bed, should I leave it alone or clean off? Thanks to all. Rick

I have two what look like starfishes, the total size of a dime including legs. I have LRLS 1 clown 2 cleaner shrimp, and 1 hermit, in a 70 gall. Tank is 4 mth. old. Thanks to all who respond.

I am looking for a queen angel, I have seen three 4 in. fish, all with some whitish spots {not ich}, or with what look like a cloud like film on one or more fins. Is it possible to get a healthy fish or is this not a good choice? 70Gal. LRLS three and half mths old, one hermit, one clown, two...

Thank you for the reply. I wasn`t clear, the tang died two weeks into hyposalinity, and the tank is completely empty. Should I go ahead and raise the salt to normal levels, add lr, and put in a fish to keep the system going? I am thinking not to add ls, so I can easily transfer this tank to a...

What is done with a HT, QT that went through hyposalinity? The tank has a bare bottom no fish, 1.009 salt. Should it be left alone for three weeks?(ick). Should I add LR and raise the salt? Can I have just LR and no LS, which will make it easier to go from QT to HT if needed? Thanks to all.

I have a 70 gal. lrls tank six wks. old, it has been sitting with nothing in it for ten days except for a hermit. All readings are good. My ? is should I put a piece of raw shrimp in the tank to keep the biological process going or will the 100lbs. of LS, and 50lbs. of LR be sufficent? Tank is...

What are the best water choices for water changes? RO, Brand named bottled mountain spring water, brand named distilled water, or brand named drinking water? The store bought waters offer so many different choices, it gets confusing which is the best for aquarium use. Thank you for your input...

Please check my last post under ich not sure please help. Doing HT like you said, I just wanted to clarify a few things. How long at 1.009 once I get there? I'm taking about 3 days to get to 1.009 is that ok? The 70 gal. has only LRLS and 1 hermit, just leave this tank alone for three weeks and...

Beth, I ended up taking your advice, I set up a HT-25 Gal. eclipse, with a bare bottom. Going to lower salt content to 1.009 over a few days, also feeding garlic soaked food. The 70 gal. is empty except for LRLS and a hermit, and that is the way it has to stay for three weeks, right? Using...

Thank you Beth. I will try and save the fish.

All readings are very good. I felt the mandarin was a marginal start up fish, but the lfs said it was ok. I should of known better. I had some experience with saltwater ten years previous. If it is ick which I am not sure, would adding a uv, feeding garlic (what type of garlic),and freshwater...

My son has a 70 gal.LRLS tank started on 7/8. He has a sailfin tang and a manderin goby that have been doing great for four or five weeks, the tang seems to have ick or some sort of very small flakes on the tail. I do have a UV ster. and a skimmer but have not installed them, waiting to be sure...

IS it correct, when using R/O water you need to add Kents R/O right and PH-UP to bring those readings where they need to be? Also what additives should be used on a FOLRLS tank other than sea lab no.28, and vitamin food additives? Thanks,Rick

Just was informed the power will be out for about 6 hrs. on Fri. the 20th. What if anything should I do? 70 gal. salt ten days old with 3 fish, and 125 gal. freshwater one year old, with discus and etc. PLease help!

Thanks Terry B. So to understand, leave the LR,and LS with the hermit in the 25gal. for 1 mth. Then I can move all to the 70gal. and keep the 25 eclipse as a QT. with a bare bottom. Thanks to all you have been extremely helpful.

Thanks to all who replied. Yes, you were in time, thank you all very much. I do have 3 fish in the 70gal. as of today sun. tank up since last sun. all readings are perfect ph, amonia, nitrite, and nitrate. I added in to the tank this past tuesday the 10th a 48 hr.cycle product made by tropical...

Just lost my last fish to ich, all I have is hermit crab LRLS. This is a 25 eclipse, which I want to make a QT. Want to move hermit LRLS to 70 Gall. tank which has been up for 1 wk. Is this ok,or could the ich follow the hermit and LRLS? Thanks to all and to the person that answered my first post.

First post hello to all. I have one hermit crab with LR and LS, all that is left from an ich out-break. If I left the tank as is for three or four weeks will ich be gone or do I have to remove the crab? Thanks to all.
