I just lost almost everything in my 24 ap almost overnight. I tested for everything and nothing was unusual. It was horrible to see my clowns suffocate to death. (Then all my corals died) ammonia: 0ppm nitrite: 0ppm nitrate: 20ppm PH: 8.2 So I was doing some research and I found out that my...

I can't tell if it is infected, but I don't want to take a chance. As i previously said, I am preparing for hyposalinity due to an ich outbreak; I have already taken out all of the rock and am wondering if I can just dose my display with maracyn 2? My QT is completely filled with rock- so are 2...

what do you mean I can't buy the sponge at the store!!! I have been feeding him bits of dish washing sponge! I guess you are refusing to inform me how to proceed. I have told you my water quality was not the issue: (I also know this because my pomacanthus emperor is doing great!) ammonia: 0ppm...

Thanks for the lecture! I have been trying to sell him, but the tank has come down with ich. I thought it would be best for the fish to get rid of the ich before I sell him. The angel is a blue angel, not blue spotted or blue face. Is there anything I need to do to help treat him or will it...

I didn't notice it yesterday and today poof. He has been living in sump life for a while with no problem. I moved him because he got too aggressive. I am actually in the process of trying to bring down salinity for hypo due to ick. I have been changing 30 or so gallons of saltwater for...

RotaryGeek: to dose sugar effectively, you need a good skimmer! In addition, a good skimmer will keep your nitrates down. I am not trying to bash you, but what you are using atm is a POS. And don't get a seaclone!

no, the tank doesn't have a dsb. and thanks for the help.

I am preparing to transfer my livestock to a new tank (190g full hex) and I seem to have an ich outbreak. So I thought it would be easiest to do hypo, which allows me to transfer all the rock out and put it in the new tank (then the tank has time to properly cycle) I have done hypo before...

I retested with a new kit and my nitrate readings were 40ppm. What a difference!

Ever since I picked-up this Singapore Angel, it has become my fav fish. I just find the coloring and swim patterns very interesting.

So I was making some nsw and decided to test it for nitrates and it came back at 40ppm. I don't think it was the water or salt, I bet the test kit has gone bad. I am going to purchase a new test kit today and retest. I did test the tank for ammonia and nitrite and was 0ppm

This is horrible, but at one point my nitrates were at 550ppm (I had to 1/4 the test kits) I began dosing vodka and brought it down to 20ppm in a week and half. Although it took a lot of skimmer cleaning. I wouldn't try this method if you don't have a good skimmer.

No mechanical filteration (no wet dry's either). I don't have a sandbed in my refuge. I do use filter socks which are changed out about every 3-4 days (depending on when they begin to overflow). I get my water from my RO/DI unit. Interestingly, I have noticed that my cheato really hasn't...

the best equipment you can purchase is a good skimmer. Power filters is for fresh water fish.

I have a 210g with 100g sump. 170lbs of LR and 240lbs of LS 40g refuge with cheato bubble king supermarine 200 skimmer I do a 25% water change every 2 weeks and my nitrates easily jump up to 80ppm. I have started sugar dosing, but I would rather not keep dosing sugar. critters: pair of gsm...

The flagfin also seemed to shutter a little bit while I was doing a water change, but doesn't do it regularly.

210g with 170 lbs of LR and 240lbs of LS. My flagfin all of a sudden has stringy poop and might show some signs of flukes. To get him out would be a large ordeal. So I thought it might be better to treat the entire tank (especially if flukes are present). Is it safe to use in my display? if it...

Originally Posted by OceanLover I really research my fish before I pick any species. I like fish that are not going to eat each other, easy to care for, are going to be visible and not hid all the time, and that don't harm my beloved ricodia and zoo's. So I am lucky to have an aquarium full of...
