    Delays on receiving livestock shipments

    What I dont understand is there are quite a few good businesses out there that deal in high volume quality livestock and you can talk to them and get your stuff the next day. Maybe this site is just operating out of a basement and cant deal with high volume.

    Hardy small fish.

    Go atleast 30 days without fish 45 even better. Dont forget to quarantine any new fish for two weeks before you put it in the main tank. As far as small and hardy you cant beat a six line wrasse, they are colorful and truely fun to watch.

    Dwarfs where did you get that from? Brooklynella also known as clownfish disease is imported with the fish. It is a protozo that spreads rapidly and is very deadly. Never heard anything about fish being kept in a brook.

    Evaporated Salt?

    I just put it in the sump. The filter is fine too and actually better then putting it directly into the tank becasue it will dissolve without potential for harming something in the tank.

    Best LR to order?

    I also highly recommend <a href="http://www.gulf-view.com" target="_blank">www.gulf-view.com</a> best I have ever seen. Aquacon has some real bad ratings on the <a href="http://www.reefcentral.com" target="_blank">www.reefcentral.com</a> boards.

    compatible tangs

    There are a lot of tanks that have purple and yellows together without problems, but it wont work in a 55. One tang is all that should be in a 55.

    New LR

    Trebor you will have some die off because of the shear amount of life on this rock. Watch your ammonia levels. The rock does have alot of clams, I actually have small clams attached to larger ones.

    Best LR to order?

    I highly recommend <a href="http://www.gulf-view.com" target="_blank">www.gulf-view.com</a> rock. It is the best. I would use it to cycle if it is a new tank because there will be die off because of the amount of life on the rock, it is amazing. I would also suggest doing partial water changes...

    hypo/copepod update

    Hypo will not kill your nitrifying bacteria. I wouls start the 28 days after you see no more spots. That is what I have always done. As far as dropping the salinity any lower I dropped mine to 1.007 for a week after the spots were gone then up to 1.009 for the rest of the time. If you are not...

    HELP!!!

    Hyposalinity is the best treatment, but must be done properly. Your specific gravity must be at 1.009 no higher. Be sure your hydrometer is acurrate, most are not. Another critical thing is monitor the ph because freshwater has a much lower ph. By the way I am relaxed, my tank is fine. :p

    HLLE not ich

    You are probably not getting enough greens in thier diet. Try green Seaweed selects soaked in zoe. While it may or may not help feeding carrots it is not a natural food like seaweed. I had fantastic results on my purple tang after feeding the above atleast every other day.

    HELP!!!

    Holy Crap bammbamm! You are just better off giving the remainder of your fish back to your lfs or flushing them, it would be much easier on them. Then get a few good books and read them. What were you thinking putting a powder blue in a 25? Your main tank will need to be left fishless for at...
