You should treat all of the fish in the tank, not just the fish showing the parasite. You should probably get a larger QT though. As for treating them in your DT, treatment will kill all of your LR and LS. LR and LS will also absorb any medication that is added if you decide to use any. This...

First, I would check your LFS's water to make sure they keep up with filter changes in their RO unit. If it is high in phosphates, it will cause algae growth. Canister filters, if not cleaned and changed very often, are known to be phosphate farms which once again, cause algae growth. As for...

That is a pretty big stock list for a 90g but you should be able to keep it under control with frequent water changes. What type of water do you use? Do you test for phosphates? My understanding is lights fuel algae growth so old lights shouldn't cause more algae. Could be wrong though.

Vinegar soak and scrub. I would also fill it up with fresh water and let it sit for a while to make sure there are no leaks.

Just wondering, I feed marine snow and mysis. What are you suppose to feed these guys and how often? I've done a little research, but I'd like to know what you guys use.

Just wanted to post some pics of the new Duncan I got yesterday. 10 large heads and 3 small. Not a bad price either $50.00.

You can supplement the rock with pieces of PVC. Just make sure you rinse it well. This gives the fish somewhere to hide.

I bought an off brand RO unit at a going out of business sale(First mistake). It came with offbrand filters that I'm pretty sure aren't doing as good of a job as I would like. I'll check out that place.

Quick question. I haven't replaced the filters in my RO unit for about 7 months. I am getting ready to order some though. Could dirty filters cause this problem? Just curious. Oh yeah. I'm going to get a magnesium test tommorrow.

It has been about 7 months since I installed my RO unit (5 stage) and I am looking for replacements for the carbon and sediment filters. Everything but the membrane. What filters do you guys use? I found some for a good price online, but I'm not sure that they are good. They are: Liquatec 5...

Thanks. I will adjust levels accordingly. I have never had a problem with this though. What could all of the sudden make the Alkalinity drop? If anything, it is normally a little high. KH around 165. Also, what products would you guys suggest to bring this level up. Seachem Reef...

Yes, both tanks are testing high. I am getting ready to mix some new water and check it. I am going to take some of the tank water to the LFS to let them check and see if my test's are bad.

For the past few weeks my calcium levels have been through the roof. Normally they stay around 450 or so but lately they have been 500 or more. I have used 2 different test kits (both Hagen) and am testing water from 2 different tanks (DT and Frag tank). The only other thing that has changed...

+1. get the best skimmer you can afford

Having the same problem with a Javanese. Been an ongoing battle ( about 3 months). I have tried the small hooks and bottle traps. Not sure how to catch them without removing rock. Thinking about digging a hole in the sand and then draining most of the water for a short period forcing the...

I've had a couple of the HTC's and they are very good for work or home business but they have all seemed kind of cheap with bad sound. If you want a phone with an insane amount of cool apps and media, like me, you can't beat an Iphone. Iphone is coming out with a new model this summer. May be...

Definately for the paint. It looks better with dark colors though. IMO

I posted this once before but I never got an answer. When getting new livestock, I really hate putting someone else's water into my tank. I know it's heavily diluted after the acclimation, but I guess it's just the thought. How do you go about transferring the starfish to your tank without...

I have searched these threads and haven't been able to find a universal number that is acceptable for water to be used in marine aquariums. I know that preferably it should be zero, but I only run a 5 stage RO unit and realistically probably won't get that low of a number. I'm getting ready to...
