Thanks for the try Bang! They just didn't answer my questions. Don't want to put the clown in if there is nothing wrong. -Alex

Bang, will you please read my thread in Disease & Treatment, Terry/Beth. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks -Alex

Will you look at my thread, Terry/Beth. Have one more question before I put fish in QT.

The clown has been in with the picasso for 24 days and he still doesn't have any signs of desease. Should I still put both of them in the 10 gal QT even though he hasn't been infected. -Alex

Well, It took 11 days for the cycle. Will be adding Picasso tonight for treatment.

Originally posted by Bang Guy Trigger, there's probably absolutely nothing wrong with your PH. It has been my experience that hobbiests that try to control PH using buffer end up chasing numbers and cause a LOT more harm than good. Take your PH reading first thing in the AM and then again just...

I sick of these solution pH Test Kits!!!! I have fasTest and Aquarium Pharmaceuticals pH test kits and want to upgrade. Anyone please -Alex

Ok, I started off using a fasTest pH kit and didn't like how the readings were. Too hard to tell exactly what the reading was. Could tell it was around 8.2 or 8.3 but not exactly. So, I bought an Aquarium Pharmaceuticals pH test and am still not happy with the read outs. I can now determine...

I had the same brown stuff growing on my glass and rocks a while ago. The tank was about 4 months old and thought it was just natural for new tanks with algae spikes. I started using RO water from walmart and it has been a lot better every since. It's only 33 cents and well worth it!!!! The...

What model, Classic, XL, Hang On? -Alex

Originally posted by Armageddon I was trying to get my undulate to co-exist with a larger damsel. It was going fine until the other night he brutally assulted the damsel. I transferred it to my 10 where he died that night. Andrew It's about time he got the damsel. You've had him in there...

I got a QT with all the essentials and now I'll be using Christmas money for a refractometer. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and will have a safe New Year!

I'm really glad you all replied to this! I was going to get a seaclone but will shop around after reading this post. There are fish in my tank and don't want to go through the problems with the bubbles if it's not necessary.

Originally posted by Thomas712 If you don't mind, Why do you want one? I'm running a FOWLR and would like to prevent any parasites just in case they get past QT. I know it's not a cure but better than nothing, right? Is it a bad idea and a waste of money? Thanks for the reply. -Alex

Nas and msb, Do you all run the skimmers you suggested? And, Thanks all. -Alex

Filter has seeded in display for one week. Filled up QT with display water today and added a piece of shrimp. We'll see how well the bio wheel works on the Penguin filters. Hopefully I'll be adding my fish to QT in a few days. Didn't want a spike from adding the fish so would rather have a...

Originally posted by seaguru If you look at any of my posts you will learn that there is NO substitute for QUARANTINING!!! with that said I think that if you don't have a tank full of corals that benefit greatly from the microscopic planktonic lifeforms that eventually are produced in a healthy...

I want to add a protien skimmer to my 55 FOWLR. I need a hang on model. Could someone tell me which brand to get. Heard all the good stuff about euro-reefs but can't find one that states hang on so will have to go with some other brand. Any input please. -Alex

I'm thinking about getting a UV sterilizer but don't know which one to get. Have a 55 FOWLR. Need a hang on or one that won't look really bad if I have to put in the tank. Any inputs please. -Alex
