Really? That red planet is new growth? Whoa, totally looks like a dead portion. last checked my DKh was around 8 I think. cal was around 420. I don't think this is new growth though because I think I saw a little flesh flapping off. Trust me I hope so!!

I posted a better picture I think. Its the top left portion. I really hope its not dying for a few reasons. It was NOT cheap, I really wanna keep more Acros, and I really will be perplexed as what I would need to do to keep acros. My tank water is prestine, levels are great, and everything...

Here is a better pic maybe

So what are you saying? This is new growth? Definitely does not look like it. Looks like the flesh is disappearing.

Nah, definitely not new growth. I wish!!

I'm new to Acro's and added one to my tank about 1 month ago, maybe little less. I placed it up high in the tank under new LED lighting. I have the AquaIllumination SOL Blues. I'm currently running the lights at 54% White 55% Blue and 55% royal blue. My levels are all in check. Calcium 400...

I see a grouper too!

When did they stop using the u-tubes? The design I have has the U-tubes. How does it work now?

I have a sand bed in my 55 fuge and really am interested in the Fiji mud. I was thinking of adding some right on top of my sand bed. Does this stuff have to cycle or anything? Or can you just add it in?

I specifically ordered this order on Monday morning to get it hopefully by Wednesday. I see Wednesday at 12:00 Noon it still hasn't even been shipped out yet. Whats going on. This is the first time you guys are taking this long.

KICK START IT? Meaning the start of a cycle or just to get some bioload? Quote: Originally Posted by Beth Dose Amequil as per the instructions on the bottle. Not sure I'm understanding your concerns about using live sand? Live sand has a lot of surface area for population of the biofilter...

Really LS too? Wont that kinda create a spike by turning it up then dumping it into the QT? can I just use LR rubble and a couple of larger pieces? Also Beth, How do YOU use Amequil? Is there some method of dosing or something you use while the fish is in the QT? Quote: Originally Posted by...

Got it BTL. Yeah, Im gonna plan on doing a 50% water change every other day. Im gonna monitor this fish for a week or two at most. If its all good he's going in. Also the water changes I'm gonna do are just gonna be from my display tank. This way there will be no change going from one tank...

I was looking for a thread like that. So Im a little confused. If I use pieces of the LR and just a heater and powerhead, will this prevent a cycle? If there is no "die off" of any sort what would cause a cycle? I don't think anything. So well est LR and water from my dispaly should be fine...

Okay so I ordered a Blue Hippo from this site and it should be here tomorrow Im assuming. I have a ten gallon tank laying around and thought it might be good to QT this fish. I don't have time for it to cycle and I am trying to prevent it from cycling. If I use half of my display water and...

Any links available of what I need or what is the best method for a QT tank?

OKAY, Im convinced. For the hippo is there anything I need in particular for the QT? I don't need a filter do I? I have a LR tank so Im thinking just throw a piece of LR in the 10 gallon Qt, a powerhead, and a heater. Good/bad?

Im thinking with the colder weather it might be more incline to get ich. Thats y im thinking quarantine

I should have said your response was not allowed. LOL. Anyway what do I need to do? Hippo's are usually more prone to disease right? Quote: Originally Posted by BTLDreef I'm a "quarantine everything" person. I even QT corals.

I ordered a medium sized hippo from this site today. I known they are prone to Ich. Should I quarantine it when it arrives. I have a 10 gallon laying around. Is that okay? Anything else I should do? Or should I just acclimate and put in display?
