Couple options. Your qt the fish to kill ick. So once the treatment time is over the tank and fish should be ick free. 2 if u wana be super safe leave it fishless for 6 wks. That said , hypo should have killed all ick in your tank if done correctly. So you should be fine for the chromis

Lol I hear ya. I got 2 frags last nt. My first real shot at coral. I checked this am and found a hermit suspiciously close to one!

The light is blue? Then yes thats a traditional moon light. U could try turning it on during the day, w normal daylight and see if the gradual change helps

The fox thing is weird. Beating its self up isnt good. The light must be sending some type of weird wave off. My fish never seemed bothered by my moonlight.

Fluval are iffy. Lol orbit are better as far as led. Softies are fairly easy tho

Agreed. Even growing out frags takes awhile

Lol baby steps w sw is easy. Start off like bigfoot and u b screwed

Bacteria will grow on anything. Filter media is just convenient for it. I change my media maybe 1 every 6months. Alternative between cartridges. I clean the filter it self more

I hope fish1025 doesn't mind us semi hijacking this thread lol but this is excellent info. geridoc- qt I believe is one of the biggest reasons people think sw is so hard. They don't do it and bam!! I have ich, or my fish doesn't eat, ect. I will admit I never did it either. I only bought from...

Never seen the bobber one.

I run hob filters in all my tanks. No issues. They do have to be maintained tho

Refractometer vs hydrometer is another. Those dam hydrometer's are never consistent

Good points. I do mostly fish, starting to get into corals. You def can tell just by the way certain fish act if something is off. Overfeeding, lol yup. If people really knew how much I feed. I'd be banned from the forum lol. Bc of my draggonets, I do feed "extra"now I also have a souped up...

Ok folks. Water quality is key in this game we all agree. So in your options what is most commonly the reason for it getting out of whack? I ask bc I have a 29,56,75 gal tanks. For me it seems they manage the same. I still don't reccomend small tanks for beginners tho lol

Red sea does an all in one system. I've never heard anything bad. Innovative marine I have not heard of. I get the down side bc if something goes the whole system is screwed.

Side note. How do u like your yellow coris? I have had my eye on one at a lfs for a few wks. Peaceful?

Too many fish? The question we all ride the line on. I look at it like this. You can have 3 fish if one is nasty as hell u have 2 too many. Now if u have 10 fish, with no aggression, good water quality, ect your doing fine. Yes a dwarf can go in a 40. Good tank maintenance, quality live rock...

Hmm, I'll look into that. A lfs uses them on his frag tank. Small but effective

Ah those r nice, I've been looking at them myself

To jump in those are the small round lights that u can hang over the tank?
