mantis climbed up the stick and up my arm Better then down your pants I bet An unexpected plus to my mantis tank is a new found appreciation for damsels. I must admit the only other time I dealt with damsels was my first saltwater tank way way back when. I must admit that at that time I...

Thanks everybody. I value everybodies opinion. But like a couple people said if my DT tank doesn't have ich and I use a QT tank then my DT tank will never get ich Most important QT, look for disease, identify if present and treat EXACTLY AS RECOMMENDED (i can not stress the exactly part enough)...

still a little confused thou because the sump only has to pipes coming from it. This is why i probably gonna need someone to set it up lol a pic of your setup would help . But as Randy stated and I will go over it again. You have two overflows but the process is redundant. There are three holes...

big aneurysm god i love it when you do medical speak

Some more thinking on the subject of hot water. I would think that our ro unite membrane is not made to handle hot water. There would have to be given that logic a point of degrading of the material the membrane is made of at a certain temp. also there would be more fouling of the membrane with...

Coincidence or not. Notice the two empty turbo shells, Lola found a way to get to the weak spot but now she is displaying them together.( she cracked the shells in her burrow two days apart) I wonder is their proximity a coincidence or is she trying to show me what she has accomplished. Or...

well the factthat lola wont touch the small food means to me anyway she aint a shrimp scavenger .shes a hunter agreed that is why I think we would be better off having them go after the food rather then just serving it up to them

Actually i believe Henry has a gift for making Tangs walk, I think Meowzer has a talking tang now that I come to think of it. Oh sorry I misunderstood the title of your thread

I thought it was because my return line was not fully sealed, so I cemented all of the pipes but it is doing it more frequently now. FYI any air introduced into your tank has to come from before the pump anything with a hole or not fully sealed after the pump will leak water

I will address your statement above If there is not ick present in your DT and you QT everything that can introduce ick into your tank and or threat for disease appropriately if it manifests itself in your QT then ick can not be in your DT But I am open to debate the subject

What you NEED to do and what will work are often two different things. The 1st thing I'd do is get a good, basic SW book and read it cover to cover. I'd recommend Bob Fenner's "The Conscience marine Aquarist'. He has a new addition out now and if this book is too pricey, you can find a copy of...
