I will try using these techniques and see where it goes. Thanks.

I will defiantly run carbon then if its Any help at all since I make my own carbon bags for my freshwater tank I have a lot of carbon left. And like I said I will dump the sand, its just 70-80 in dry rock and 20-30 on live rock is bit for me. BTW, the tank that had copper added is a 20l, and I'm...

Well I do have a copper test, it is one ppm now. I will look into that filter, I plan to go to a bigger tank when I start over, and was gonna use this other tank for a sump after u attempt to leach copper from it, when its tests okay I then will add shrimp and crabs. I am going to go ahead and...

I recently had my first case of ich, it did kill all ly fish, only had three. I dosed my tank with a copper treatment, dumb move I guess because I've been told to scrap the rock and sand. I was wondering since I don't need the rock for awhile if doing a couple hot water soaks and then let it...

Well after more research I have determined that the canister filter is not the way to go, and infact I would be more dissatisfied with the maintaince required because as I read they require frequent cleanings when used on a Sw aquarium, one person mentioned every two weeks would be optimal where...

I also want to add, I also in my "plan" had a protien skimmer. Something like a coralife 65 or similar. I would a appreciate a sump so can hide the skimmer down below, with a cannister it will be HOB. So im very undecided, a HOB skimmer will defeat the purpose of me wanting a cannister, the...

Since I recently had a tank failure and am restarting the tank, and while I am at it upgrading. I had a 20g fish only tank and now I am doing a 40breeder tank. I had it all planned out to use a sump, a 20l tank for that with refugium. Two things that I am concerned with, the tank is glass, $100+...

It's fine, I understand doing it all right the first time is key to better success overall. I understand. I'm going to try to do it better this time.

Oh, and to just clarify, am appreciative that you commented and used essentially constructive criticism. I'm not trying to have what you say just blow over mme even though I don't like it

Like I said, when I started I had enough money to do it, but about a month in when I was ready to stock the tank and start putting this and that in there I ran out of money. It was my fault, mostly because I was lazy and did not do a QT, but I'm not stupid, or totally oblivious to fish keeping...

I know about the Live rock curing process, thats why I went with dry rock and then a small piece or coraline encrusted rock. I know a lot about several aspects of sw tanks. I have done lots of research, I had it for 6 months with no problems then this ich came along and I never researched about...

Okay, what if I soak my dry rock in a vinegar solution, will that do any good because its about $50 in dry rock, if not I will do it right then and restart, I will ne using different filters as well so even that won't be a problem. My crabs in there now are fine so the med must be ineffective...

Well I found the baby clown dead tonight after work. So all thats left are the two crabs and the ich. Is there gonna be a problem with the ich staying attached to my piece of live rock I have been using to seed dry rock, I am using some chelated copper treatment for the next month while I get...

Okay. I will have to be ordering all of my fish online which is fine with me. Also, after I had started my tank all up is when I realized I should have a QT tank, but to be honest I never thought I would go further then a clown and an anemene, I never made it to the corals and don't plan to for...

So I am pretty upset, infact really. So I woke up this morning, the house is very cold, the house thermostat was set wrong. First thing I do is run go my freshwater tank because the heater had broke yesterday, temp was 72 somehow, no dead fish. Over to the sw tank. Temp was 76, i usually have it...

it is ldpe, so it is gonna be alright. thanks

Thank you. Very informative information. I will have to go to the store and look at the bins of the same kind there since mine is full and the symbol is probly on the bottom. Thanks

I have a question about the container I bought to store water. I went and bought a black, plastic 32 gallon trash can from walmart. I tried to find print on it to say what material it is, found no print. I should have thought of it before I mixed 25 gallons of saltwater in it. So I am afraid it...
