After adding the 1cc of cupramine the fish went crazy, darting all over the tank for 5 minutes then he just stroked out. Not sure what happened, followed the directions on the bottle to the T, I even added it over a few minutes .25 cc at a time.

I just got a RHS-10ATC from an online store for 19.99 with shipping. Retail was 42.99 so I guess that was a good price, I just have to wait 4 days for it to get to my house. My friend is letting me borrow his until then. This is a very expensive hobby

He is picking at the LR so I think he is eating. I placed about 5 or so live brine shirmp in the tank yesterday and he didnt eat, although the cleaner shrimp went to town on them. The lfs told met that I wold have better luck with a raccoon butterfly than a bicolor angle, which was my other choice

I do not have a refractometer, I read about that last night before I did anything. The fish is still alive today and the shrimp is still picking at his gills. I am about to go to my lfs and pick up some copper based meds. I have already placed the shrimp and the lr back into the DT. Is there...

Should I let the shrimp finish picking at the fish or wait until he has finished?

It was set up December 21. I knew I wanted fish and I had to wait until the 28th to get them due to me being out of town for christmas. The shrimp just set up shop again on the fish, the fish doesnt seem to be liking those pinchers in his gills either.

This tank was set up a week before the fish was added.

It is a 10 gallon, the water is from my DT which has been cycled. 5lbs of LR from the display, standard filter it came with the tank from the LFS just a simple carbon filter, there is an airstone and a heater set at 76 degrees. sg is 1.024, ammonia 0, Trite .25-.5, trate 20) pH 8.3.

He just moved to the corner of the tank and it looks like he is caughing... What do I do?

I went to the LFS and picked up a few fish Friday evening and one of my purchases was a raccoon butterfly. I brought in a water sample to the store and they said that everything looked good and in the QT they would put in some live rock for while and to take it out and sub in some PVC if he...

this is where most of the bubbles microbubbles are getting into my DT. Is it bad for the fish in the tank?

I have the bubble trap attached to the the side of the aquarium with the attachment it came with. The water isnt overfilling in the skimmer its pouring over the bubble trap. The trap fills with water and then begins dumping into the aquarium.

It is a coralife 65

I just called the LFS and they said it was normal to have the micro bubbles but the water should not be spilling over the filter top. Any ideas on how to fix that problem?

I just hooked up my skimmer and it seems to be running fine, I have the adjustments set so that the microbubbles are doing their job... however, the filter that the water dumps back into before it goes back into the tank is not stopping the bubbles from getting back into the tank. Is there...

I only have a 10g QT, do I only need to do one fish at a time? I know bigger is better when it comes to saltwater but frankly I just dont have the money to spend on a 30g setup that I'm only going to use 4 weeks and be stuck with.

What about a cleanup crew?
