I have an AquaC EV-180 Protein Skimmer on my 150 gallon tank. I have had it running for about 8 months with no problems. Last week, it stopped producing foam for no apparent reason. I called AquaC, and the tech told me to clean out the water and air injectors and try that. He also asked me...

That's exactly what I do also - works well!

I have had mine since Wednesday and they seem to be getting along fine. Everybody's fins are in good shape and show no signs of nipping. The Fridmani has got quite the appetite!:D

I also hope someone can help on this issue because mine is getting huge also. Thanks in advance!

I also hope they are peaceful. I just bought one off this sight also. Along with a Flame Angel, a Bicolor Blenny and a Psychedelic Mandarin. They have beenn in the QT now for two days with no problems...Hopefully it will stay that way.

After reading these posts, I did too!

Each time I have ordered, I encounter a message that says "No Saturday shipments this week." I have ordered at various times on the weekend and have always received the order on the day I request early in the week. I just got a shipment of 4 fish week and they were all healthy and are doing...

Eddie's is very nice. Something Fishy is also decent. They are located in Scotia and their number is 346-3474.

Thanks Elfdoctors!

I purchased a Hippo Tang last week and now have it in my QT undergoing Hypo. It was not sick, but I have been doing this with my new fish as an added safety measure and have been having good luck with it. I have read a few posts lately that say Hippo's are extremely susceptible to Ich and now...

I bought a Hippo Tang and a Purple Firefish - no problems.

I agree with Kip. I just recently switched to RO and noticed that the tank does appear to stay cleaner. However, I also now have to put additives in the water to keep the chemistry right and I never had to do that with tap water. It has crossed my mind on more than one occasion to switch...

If you held on to the molt, you should be able to open it at the back like a clam shell. They do tend to hide for a short period of time after they molt.

They do not molt very often. It may be several months before it molts again. You should be able to open the shell like a clam if it molted. If not, sounds like he may have died. Hopefully, the latter is not the case. They are usually pretty hardy.

I would advise that you definitely follow the advice of Terry B. I tried Greenex and it killed all of my snails and had very adverse effects on my anemones, but they survived. Also, while I was treating with Greenex, a few of the fish developed fin rot. I put them all in a QT and started...

I agree that there are too many fish in the QT, but where else can you put them when you have an Ich breakout in your display tank? (Maybe several Rubbermaid containers with a few fish in each?) There are low levels of ammonia and nitrite in the tank, despite my constant water changes. Right...

The ph is 8.4. The Hippo Tang is only about 1 1/2" and is doing fine. He swims around when the lights are on and hides in the PVC at night.

I have all my fish (Yellow Tang, Hippo Tang, Purple Firefish, Firefish, Royal Gramma and a Heniochus Butterfly) in my 29 gallon QT. I initially treated them with Spectrogram for Fin Rot and am also doing hyposalinity for Ich. Everyone was doing great and eating well until the other day when I...

You are looking for a high grade glass HYDROMETER, not a thermometer. Or, you can purchase a refractometer.

Sorry to hear you have a sick fish. I went through the same thing a while back. I tried a few "reef safe" treatments with negative results. First was Marine Max, then Greenex. Although the Greenex seemed to be working, my fish developed fin rot and a bacterial infection while I was using it...
