Okay, so both the garlic and the garlic juice is to be used after smashing it, correct? I'm just thinking that using a turkey baster or anything else may frighten him. I'll just have to try and see, huh? :thinking: I should be able to feed him this in my DT, so I'll start tomorrow after I can...

Originally Posted by Beth Yes, likely typical LR tank micro creatures, not a fish disease. I agree with the QT. I'm assuming you haven't really treated the fish for ich, yet? Yes and no. The damsel that showed ich is gone, RIP. No, I have not put any chemicals into my DT for treatment and...

Top offs are normally done with fresh RO water, not salt water...due to evaporation.

There is no need to put LR or LS in the QT. This could actually hurt your QT if you need to medicate. All you need is PVC for structure, filter, lighting and heater. I wouldn't advise adding clay pots or fake plants either. I think most people use/recommend a basic HOB filter like the Whisper or...

I'm starting to think my heater IS stuck on. After I reset it to 67 it's still on and raising the temp back up to 89. I unplugged it and am waiting for temp to go down to 79, then I'll plug it back in and hope for the best.

Thanks, I found another thread with some pics and the little guys MAY be isopods which Thomas712 says are good for the system. In my case I may want to get a few more fish that will feed on them before they become not so good for my system. I really do want to get my QT up and running before I...

I read the thread on hitchikers with that crazy picture of the bloodsucking parasite. I have hundreds of tiny clear/white things that look like fleas in my tank. They are too small to take pictures of and too small to identify. A week ago I saw 4 of them crawling around on a piece of LR. Haven't...

I have a 75G DT with one Ebo Jager 150W heater. It is supposed to be accurate +/- .5 degree. This is not the case. It has never been accurate to what I've set it to. I had it set to 81 and for months my temp has been 84.3. I thought maybe my 4 PH's, lights, and pumps were the cause of the high...

I wouldn't worry about too much flow out of a PH. It's called current and I'm sure you're fish and corals will love you for it...unless you put like 4 1200's in a goldfish bowl. :scared: Good luck.

I have 2 Coralife timers. I rerouted my electrical cords last night and noticed something pretty strange. Read the back of the timer. "Not for use with aquariums" and a notice not to place in a damp area. WOW, that's reassuring.

What should be done about astrea snails when they die?

Thanks for the link Mavgi. Beth, thanks for taking the time to write that thread...very informative.

Thanks Mavgi, You've been a great help. Did you build that sump? I'm going to take the glass back tomorrow and have it trimmed down about 1/16" so it will fit. I've already cleaned and taped the sump. How did you hold up the center piece from falling while the sealant is drying? I guess I'll...
