I have 100lbs of Figi Live rock in my tank. I have hermit crabs and emerald crabs in the tank as well. My salt levels are fine and calcium is around 500. Problem: I'll wake up in the morning and I'll see small pieces (maybe 1/10lb) of live rock broken off...these are often the most purple...

You have what sounds like Ich. Read the FAQ at the top of this forum (Disease and Treatment). To effectively treat Ich, a quarantine tank running in hyposalinity is the best way to solve the problem.

My sixline also has/had ich. I've had him in the QT tank for over a week now and he shows no visible signs of ich for the past 4 days. His body had a small discoloration spot on it that is now getting better. I've noticed his belly is sticking out a little more than usual. Should I be...

Any QT is better than no QT!

check out ----...take advantage of the good exchange rates while you can.

Anyone have a Sundance RO/DI system. There is one for sale locally and Im looking for a review/MSRP on it. Thanks, Matt

For equipment, buy it on ---- or here if they have it. For the tank, SHOP AROUND. $700 + tax for a 54 gallon...even if it is a bow front and comes with a stand is high. You said it comes with a "hood". Did you mean a wooden canopy or did you mean a light? Most all-glass aquariums that are...

Great...my Sixline is best friends with my Tang now. They tag team my Scorpion Blenny and nip at him :(. Poor little blenny! I bought him some more cover today and to annoy the other fish, I'm feeding him krill on a stick :). I'm actually feeding him krill on a stick on purpose. Its hard...

I used 100% main tank water and some sand from my main tank. I'm feeding them just enough food so none collects on the bottom. If I see any waste or extra food floating around, I vacuum it out. I've testing twice a day for ammonia and there are no signs...so Im hoping I won't ever get a cycle...

Whats your PH? When my PH is off, my yellow tang starts turning red.

Here it is...my QT Playscape...Its a 29 gallon. Cost: 29 Gallon (already had) Glass Top (aleady had) Light (already had) Powerhead (already had) Heater $20 Filter $38 PVC Pipe: $3 Refratometer $50 If someone is out there and doesn't have those top 4 items, they will run you about $50-$85. I...

Do you have light on the tank? As soon as I dim my light, he goes and hides out. He only comes out when the light is on full blast.

i have a sixline in a QT now...he is currently sleeping...wedged himself underneath the PVC pipe and 1/2" sand bottom. When I took him out of my main tank, he was a pain...so I was removing all the rock...pulled one rock out and he had stuck himself inside a tiny hole...his body was all curled...

Can Ich cause discoloration on the fishes body? Some of my fish have spots of discoloration (light)...or is this just a side effect of lowered salinity? -Matt

Anyone have one of these? I have one on my QT. It has low, medium, and high settings for temperature. Anyone know which one is for 78-80? If not, Ill just buy a thermometer tomorrow. Matt

Moved all fish tonite successfully. They seem to be not minding their new homes in the QT. I cant find my wrasse though...but he is a known hider and I have a few curved pieces of PVC pipe that I cant see everything in.

You can modify your hood to work with the light. My girlfriend and I just did that on her 45 canopy. Instead of buying a retro kit, buy a complete custom light with metal hood. They look nice ontop of the all-glass canopies. To adapt the canopy, you just add a few small pieces of wood on the...

Ya the buildup issue is one I experienced with my suck hydrometer. No matter how much I would scrub the inside of it, it was impossible to get it fully clean. I never trusted it and it was pissing me off to see my snails dying. A case of ich was all the justification I needed into dropping $60...

Just checked it with distilled water...0ppt.

no...its an ATC refractometer...Im also not paying any attention to specific gravity...just ppt. No calibration required right?
