Too late for the snails. I had read that snails and inverts can't carry ICH so before I read your response I placed them in the DT. Hopefully they won't transfer anything. 1 Flame 1 Coral Beauty 1 neon Dottyback 1 male Larytail 2 clowns 1 neon goby I have been feeding them food soaked in...

Got a Refrect. So take out one gallon of salt and add one gallon of fresh?????? I have a small nitrite problem as well not bad but there is some .2. Right now I am at 1.024. If my math is correct which it probably isn't I can take out 5 gallons of salt at 1.024 and add 5 gallons of salt at...

One last question before I start this process. I have 4 turbo snails in the tank, can they stay or should I put them in with the rock????? thanks again.... I am trying not to be too stressed about this...... But I guess that's part of the enjoyment of having a tank...... Oh..... How much...

Guess what, you are right. It is back with a vengence...... I will start the Hypo tonight. He is not a happy camper. I have a 5 gallow bucket I can put the rock in with a small power head and a heater. One question, I have more floss filters in my sump as well as some sponge filters that I...

Update with confusion: I was able to rid the QT of Ammo and Nitrites are down to .2. I don't want to swap out any more water today but what has me confused is that ALMOST ALL OF THE WHITE DOTS are gone and he is eating again. He was covered this morning. Not sure if I should count my...

Added Question: Since it seems that ICH can lay itself to LR and await another host I assume that I can't put it in the sump of my DT since the water flow could take it up into the DT. I would need to set up a seperate system to keep the LR in. Am I correct in my thinking.......

I have a 20gal Extra tall QT that has been setup for 6weeks +. The water quality was perfect. Introduced an Emporer on Wed. and noticed he was spending a lot of time in the water flow. After looking at him I noticed he has a bunch of small white dots all over his body. Tested the water and...

Just to throw my 2 cents in. I lost a long nose butterfly because I didn't wait long enough when I set up my QT and had a major Ammo spike. This was a valuable lesson for me so I went and bought a 20 gallon extra tall for a QT, gave it plenty of time to cycle and plan on keeping in going all...

Got it......Thanks for all your help........ Have a great evening............. Cory

She has been in the QT to 10 days. Broke out he glasses but everytime I get to the tank she runs under the rock. From what I can see the eye is not that bad. A little puffy and a just a little cloudyness so I think it is just a scratch. It is highly possible that I caused it when I was...

No I don't and she is pretty embedded in the rock right now. She did come out to eat a little while ago but has not come out since. I can always break out my glasses even though I really don't want to. Makes me feel old.......... BTW: I did a water change just to get the stuff off of the...

I have been keeping a pretty good eye on her up til now cause she is hiding in the rock, but there haven't seemed to be any spot, leaisons, or anything else. I do know about the food and you make a very good point. I put mussels in my main take every other day and all of the fish just tear it...

Have a question. I have a Lyretail Anthias in a 20 gal QT. I had 2 but one died last friday for no apparent reason. The water quality is fine. Ammo - 0 Nitrites - 0 Nitrates - maybe .5 to .10 Phos. None Sal. 1.023 She has been scratching against the PVC and rock a little but not much. Did a...

One last question to finish this thread. I put nori down towards the botom of the tank and it seems to be being picked at. I have placed it in the tank before but none of the other fish touched it so I am hoping it is the potters. How long can the Nori stay in the tank (if it is not all...

I have been using sponge filters that have been soaking in my sump for the bacteria and using water straight from my display. I figured if I did that it would be cycled enough. Was I wrong? The long nose now seems to be blind and I am hoping his site will come back. (any chance on that)? he...

I posted this the the fish discussion section but figured I post it here as well...... Beth I am sure you could have an answer to my question.... I have finally figured out why I keep having fish die in my QT. Ammonia...... I have had a long nose butterfly in the QT for 4 weeks and have found...

Alyssia Just thought I'd let you know that he is still alive and kicking. Still haven't seen him eat so he must be picking at the rock while the lights are off. Thanks for you help. Take care Cory

I have finally figured out why I keep having fish die in my QT. Ammonia...... I have had a long nose butterfly in the QT for 4 weeks and have found that I need to do a 100% water change every other day due to high ammonia levels. I bought a cheap little Protein Skimmer but didn't do a thing...

I used Nori while he was in the QT but have not tried it since. That might not be a bad idea to try again now that he may not have as much stress and may at least pick at it. Thanks for the idea........ Cory
