Ok, I didn't think that raising the temperature would work that well anyways. I do have a QT now, so next time I won't add anything to the DT until I know they're all healthy. And I've been reading a lot on parasites now. Nothing makes you want to research about parasites more than having some...

I just read something saying you could rid your tank of ich in 4 days if the temperature is above 80. Does anyone know if this is true?

So both of my clowns ended up dying in the span of about 3 days from when I first noticed that they had spots. Originally I thought I was dealing with ich, but I think that it may have been brookynella. I'm going to let my tank sit without fish for quite a while now. Next time I get clowns (or...

So should I or shouldn't I dip my fish with ich?

Hi everyone, I also have some clowns with ich. The one is doing ok, but the other is losing color and not swimming well. I am treating them right in the DT, since that is all that I have in there. Is there any point of doing a freshwater dip on each of them and then putting them back in? Or does...

its a 50 GPD unit. it was a typo on the site, its actually 99.5% rejection. Thanks!

I have an opportunity to get an Ro unit, and has a minimum rejectoin rate of 90%. Is that good enough to get the benefits of RO water?

Does the cup fill every couple of days? What size tank are you running it on?

I don't have much money right now to put on a skimmer, and I have been looking at the Jebo Protein Skimmer 182 II. Has anyone used one before? I know it's probably not awesome, but does it do the job? Thanks!

Will coraline algae grow in a new tank on its own? Or does it need to be introduced?

I tried wiping it, but it didn't come off.

If it wipes off easily should I worry about it?

So I woke up this morning and I went to check the tank that I was mixing water in, and I found that there was pink stuff on the walls. I'm pretty sure it isn't coraline, I'd really like it to be though...since I don't have any in my DT yet. The tank I use to mix water was a sump, and the pink...

While we are on the topic of electricity, does anyone know how to fix a pump with a voltage leak? Other than buying a new one... Thanks!

Originally Posted by Mell Yeah, I'm really wanting to do a refugium also on my 55, eventually later on my 125 probably also. I've got a 15 or 20 (can't remember which) tank I can use, but I'm confused on how to get the water down to it and then back up. And I'm afraid about it overflowing...

So really my real problem is that I have some of my CUC coming in the mail today. If my tank hasn't cycled...then I'm pretty sure that my snails and crabs aren't going to enjoy that. I do have a few old tanks I could set up with some HOB filters. Shoudl I just put them in there, and try and...

Yes I am using API to test my water. And I was adding pure ammonia to the water, and I also had some uncured live rock.

So I've had my tank cycling for about a month...or atleast I think I did. Nitrites- 0 Nitrates- 0 Ammonia- .25 Is that even possible? I watched the ammonia rise and fall. I'm really thinking that that was all that happened. I think my major problem was that I only had an ammonia test kit. I...

Thanks everyone for your input! I guess I'm just used to freshwater fish...in the past I've had some just die because there was too much of a current in the tank. I guess that doesn't apply to saltwater fish in the same way...they do live in the ocean after all.
