My juvi yellow mimic tang does chase him a bit but not attack. I have. 3" pvc piece of pipe in the tank and i have only seen the CB enter it once. He spends his time swimming and picking at glass and at heater. His top back fins do look a little frayed but he looks fine. Still has brillant...

API tests will usually show high niTrates even if there are none present. Live sand will help bring beneficial live bacteria to a tank but is NOT a "quick" cycle. A tank needs a month or so to build up good bacteria BEFORE fish are added. If not, the waste produced from fish poop and excess...

full body shot

Yes. Sorry not very clear on my mixing technique. Not eating, swimming is a little jerky. Notice white chunk on side of fish. Looks like scales are flared in that area. Hard to get a pic.

Ppt-12 pH- 8.2 76* He still did not eat today. Other fish in qt ate as normal.

Yes i use a 29 gal rubbermaid container to mix in. I have a powerhead and a heater in it and i like to keep about 20 gal mixed at all times. I take the mixed and aged sw out and add ro water to it to make my hypo water. I test qt water daily for s.g. And a couple times a week for pH. I will go...

To make my hypo water, i take 21/2 cups of mixed sw at 1.025 and add that to a bucket. I then take ro water that ive heated to same temp and add it to the same bucket. Mixing it and adding more sw and ro water til i reach desired amount i want to change. I syp out tank water and then add pre...

I put about 2" of ro water into a 1/2 gal container and add bs. I cap the jug and shake until dissolved then fill rest of container with ro. Add as top off as needed.

I used1/2 tsp of baking soda per 1 gal of ro water for top off. Everyone acts fine and eats fine except the CB angel. He will nip at the glass and heater but isnt interested in food.

Hey Beth. My CB stopped eating 2 days ago when usually is a pig. I still have them in qt with hyposalinity. I tried all normal foods he use to eat. Flake, pellet, cyclopeeze, mysis even live pods. Not interested at all. I checked my pH and is at 8.3/8.4. Hard to tell exactly. Would that cause...

Beautiful setup. I love those kessil lights. Is that a Jebae circulation pump?

Beautiful set up. I would suggest adding alot of live rock that is loaded with beneficial bacteria. The tank does have to cycle BEFORE fish are added. Any lfs that said it would be fine adding fish right away ONLY want your money sad to say. I would suggest either taking all the fish back. They...

Spam bots were horrible. They ended most of it when they implemented the new security screen when you start up an account. Thankfully

Back in 04-08 the site was great, until the porn spam bots took over.

Just curious on why you would not put it on any type of stand? But then again, ive not seen a 48" cube before.

You should post your question in the disease thread. Beth, the resident fishie Dr will see it there. But in the meantime, you should remove the fish and place in a qt tank and treat with hypo salinity. That procedure is documented if you research it.

You will have better luck posting this in the "disease" thread and not in here. Im sure a mod will see it and move it. I echo jay's comments. Treatments should be used in quarantine tanks, never display tanks as it does more harm than good. Im doing hypo salinity now in my qt as I have a...

By storing i meant use it to hold live rock, coral and fish etc. until new set up is ready; not store it store it. Haha

Use new sand, have plenty of fresh sw mixed and ready. Drain old tanks without disturbing sand beds. Get fish out, rock and or corals then drain the rest. Keep old water in containers with a powerhead and heater until teady to switch over to new setup.

Thank you very much. Greatly appreciated.
