    carbon filter in QT

    Okay, quick question-I am using a basic set-up for my QT -29g with a carbon filter set-up. When I QT/hypo new fish, especially those more apt to get diseases such as HLLE should I take the carbon filter out sometimes-a certain amount of hours everyday. I ask this because I have been doing...

    Okay, I must say first that I have attached a picture of my anemone. I know, it is white, I purchased it in November and it is slowly changing colors, he is changing to a deep pink/purple color, a very little bit at a time. Anyway, this is going to sound crazy but tonight I noticed something...

    Tore down my 180 last night

    I understand the frustration you have had because I purchased a 92g tank from a store that was closing. An issue I inherited from the purchase is similar or really just like yours. It looks just like your tank in those photos. I am writing this because I am not sure exactly what is causing...

    What do you think of gracicaia red algae?

    At our lfs there was something I had never seen before and wondered what you all thought about it. It is called gracicaia red algae. The ones they had there were deep red and looked like fat round short bush of spikes. It was interesting because of the different look and color. Do any of you...

    Urgent Help-something taking over tank!

    Thanks everyone, I did some research on those snails and I think that is what they are. I guess we will leave them for now, the strange thing is that we have only seen them recently, and over the last few days they seem to be multiplying and growing. If my rock starts dissappearing I will let...

    Fishermon's 29 Biocube Diary

    Looking good. I know what you mean about changing the aquascape. We change our 65 reef about every 2 weeks. Just when we like it, we add something else and restart the process until we like it and the corals seem happy. By the way, what part of East Tennessee are you. I'm from Morristown but I...

    Help I think my Coral Beauty has ICH

    Hi, I feel for your situation because we have been living through this entire situation ourselves the last few weeks. We have set up a QT and used hyposalinity. It seems to be working well. Look at our thread, maybe it will help you too, several really experienced people have been helping us...

    Ich in my tank and I don't know what to do?

    When you QT inverts what are you looking for as far as disease? Also, our tank is looking really scary without the fish living within. Our tangs really earned their food in there as far as a clean-up crew! So, here is the thought, it has been empty for 1 week-can we add some inverts (snails...
