Its truly amazing the diffences in opinions on this, My LFS has a display tank 125 and he says he nevers changes the water, this thing is excellent looking. Everything in it looks right out of a book.....
same here... this topic sucks, imo :D everyone does there...
sorry, cant really tell you. I've only used a ro/di made by a company called Filters Direct. There are few companies out there, like kent marine.... never had their unit, but the one i'd purchased, works just fine. only cost me $110.
beth, totally understand QT is the way to go. my question really is... why all of the sudden ick is active in my tank? all my fishes (were) in good shape for the last few months. havent added anything, besides corals. the strange thing is that my purple tang, lemon peel and damsels are spotless...
i really havent added any new fish. i do add a lot of corals, but thats about it. am planning to get a quarantine tank soon, just really havent decided to go with a large FO tank (so copper can be use) or a small strickly for QT.
the tank is up and running for about 6 months now. overstocking??? i dont think so.... the tank is 125G with the following below. i've been feeding them with frozen shrimps soak in garlic for months now.
1 - naso tang (med)
2 - hippo tang (sml)
1 - achillis tang (med)
4 - baby damsels (sml)
1 -...
after almost 2 months of no ick on my fish (visually). today discovered white spots all over my achillis and hippo tang. my purple tang, lemon peel and blond naso tang looks fine.... any idea? :confused: :confused: :confused:
