I see what you are saying. Thank you for the suggestion. I have two other rubbermaid containers 1 I am using for water changes, and the other for storage. Guess it is time to bring the other one out of storage and use it for water changes as well. I just figured doing water changes on the...

you could probably do a shrimp and a couple shrooms or maybe even a clown goby or neon goby.

The rubbermaid says it is approx 18 gallons but it has approx 12 gallons it in. I have a filter set up on it w/ a heater. Yes I am using fresh water and I do have some LR in the rubbermaid that was taken out of the MT. My ammonia on the MT is 8.0 where are the small rubbermaid is 0 so I think...

Ok all - I went out of town for 4 days and when I came back my ammonia was through the roof. My Xenia is gone, my mushrooms are melting, my leather is mush and all my zoas are closed up. I have lost 3 chromis, 1 bangii cardinal, and possibly a firefish. I took all the fish I could catch...

If there is any still available I would like some. Email me at miketracyowens at entouch dot net Thanks

Well personally I have ich on my coral beauty now. I am treating him in hypo. It took 7 days but the spots fell off. A few came back but are starting to fall off. I believe this is the life cycle and the hypo will end up killing it. My fish since developed a cloudy popeye and I am treating...

Thank You!!

OK here is an update. Yesterday (Sunday), one of the fishes eyes looks cloudy and kinda puffed. So I added some Melafix. Only problem now is I can't do water changes. So I bought some AP AmmoLock to help keep the ammonia down. Can I also put the ammonia reducer (granular type like carbon) in...

Can I use an ammonia reducer - granular type in my filter while using Melafix? I have a 10 gallon QT and I won't be able to do water changes while using this medication.

Is there some sort of liquid medication dispensor on the market? I have a fish in QT and being treated w/ Melafix. I am going out of town this weekend and he needs this treatment for 7 days. So for 2 days while I am gone he will need this medication dispensed.

Anyone else suggest this? :thinking: Has anyone else used Melafix in their display REEF tank? Would like to hear all stories please.

OK = questions 1. Do you have inverts? 2. Have you had any ill effects at all? Any deaths? 3. I just read some threads where folks were saying as soon as the poured it in the water their snails fell to the sand and fish as well. Within 30 minutes all were dead. 4. Does it drop your PH or ALK...

Anyone?? Can anyone tell me what I should do? I did just feed w/fresh garlic and some VitaChem. He is eating great. Very active

I have a tailspot blenny, 3 chromis, firefish, 2 clowns, 1 bangaii cardinal, 1 serpent star, 1 BTA, 1 cleaner shrimp, 1 peppermint shrimp, hermits, snails I guess I should also say that this hippo is about 1 1/2 inches in size.

Ok I have had this tiny guy for almost a week. Doing great. NO signs of stress or anything at all. Now sometimes he gets to close to my clown in her anemone (he does like to hang there w/ her for some reason) and sometimes she nips....not usually hard at him. But I just came home and saw this...

Yes u will need a heater...IF your tank is prone to drop in temp. My tank generally stays around 80 so I don't need a heater. Get a thermometer and the sponge. Usually those filters will come with some sort of bio filter sponge...mine did anyway. Then u just stick that in your mt to get some...

I am going. Just wanted to give this a little bump and see if anyone else out there is coming. ***)
