I had the lights turned off and just turned them back on for a sec to look at him and it doesn't seem to be nearly as bad. He seems to be a little stressed (fins moving quickly, gills moving quickly, but the color is back a little). After all of this I sure hope I didn't do something wrong........

Starting last Saturday evening I had a little ammo and a nitrite reading of .4. I took 3 gallons from my DT and added 2 gallons of RODI and brought the Sal from 1.024 to 1.021. from there I took 1 gallon from the QT and added a gallon of RODI approx every 2 hours the rest of the evening and...

It seems that he is getting spots on him. Not ICH but the blue color is starting to fade in small patches on him. I have tested the water Ammo 0 Nirtires 0 Nitrates 10 maybe 15 Sal/SG 1.009 PH 8.2 Not sure if this just happens because of hypo or not...... He does still have some ICH so I...

It is I cali'ed it just before I stated the Hypo..... Thanks....... BTW: Things are working out great with the Emporer..... Most of the dot are gone, water qual it absolutly perfect...... now I probably jinxed myself..... But so far so good thanks to the folks on this site.............

That's what I will do......... Thank you........

I have been hypo'ing an Emporer Angel and have read many many threads on this site about SG/Sal and where these readings need to be. Monday afternoon I was able to get the water to 14ppt. A lot of stuff I have read says the tank needs to be at 1.009/14ppt. After taking another look at my...

I'd rather try something that works and doesn't cost anything than waste my money of the other stuff that doesn't like you said. I will post tomorrow and let you know how it's going...... Wish someone could bring a law suit against them for false advertising.......... Cory

Things are looking real good right now. It took a little more than 48 hours to get it down but it is finally there. He still has a few white spots so I can't start counting the 3 weeks yet. Ammo is completely gone Nitrites are down to .1. I am sure I will have additional questions as I go...

Lat update for the night...... Need help. PH was down to 8.0 added buffer back up to 8.2 Ammo 0 Nitrites still at .2 Nitrates 10 - 15 SG down to 17 PPT - Am going to do one more water change tonight before going to bed and do another in the morning. Run the gamit of test at lunch and will post...

Here's where I stand. First thing I did was test water. Sal 1.015 Nitrate 15 - 20 Nitrite .4 Ammo .1 I think I am starting to lose the BIO. I did a 5 gallon water change 3 from my DT and 2 RODI, the Sal was 1.010. Swapped out the floss filters with ones that have been in my DT sump for going...

The tank had been set up for 6 + weeks prior to adding the Emporer. I tested all of the parameters before adding him to the tank. I had recently had a Lyretail Anthias die in the tank due to suiside. She was only dead for less than 6 hours. She liked to hide in the rock and got her head...

Thanks for being here for me during my stress....... I will post an update tomorrow afternoon.........

We are getting there..... Is it normal for them not to eat while the Sal is coming down????? At about 23ppt still a ways to go but I have until tomorrow night for the full 48 hours......

Another question to add.... I have a Refractometer that was set to read at 68 degrees. I made the water last night to be 1.009 so that I would have some water for water changes when the time came. This morning I decided to check the water again and it was still 1.009. I decided to check the...

I have had a Coral Beauty and a Flame in the same tank for 2 years with no issues at all. I am getting ready to introduce an Medium Emporer as soon as he is out of Hypo.

When I got the QT I planned on having it up 24x7 365 that way I should never have to wait for a cycle. I put it on a cabinet with wheels so I can roll it out of the way when not needed but will still do the things necessary to keep it up. I always like to get new fish and it's a hassle cause...

Just to make sure I have things right. I started the hypo last night and brought the Sal from 1.024 to 1.021. I have swapped out a gallon of water this morning and brought it to 1.020. This doesn't seem like much. How often do I need to swap out a gallon not to mess up my BIO? Any way, once...

Nothing I can do about it now (I screwed up, didn't think they could carry it over), they have mixed with the other snails and I will not be able to tell which ones were in the QT. I know that KICK ICH is pretty much worthless but do you think it might not be a bad idea to get some and run it...

OK I'm just as stressed as he is now but it would be a lot worst if it wasn't for this site....... Here's where we stand as of 2350 hours Ammo 0 Sal 1.021 down from 1.024 Nitrite .2 PH 8. I think - My test kit only does .5 increments. I plan on buying a new one tomorrow. I will start at 0700...
