well about the heat problem.............dont worry. they are attatched to my wooden deck for years and i have never had or heard of a heat problem with them. they are ul listed for being attatched to a wooden wet surface and deemed safe. if you were willing to spend 12 on those you could have...
well bud if you are looking for something else. i am curently in an ich outbreak in my tank and i am using a product called RX-P by kent. this product is safer then copper because, copper will lead to hole in head disease like copper does. this product can be used as a quick dip, a new addition...
good base rock would be
1. old coral reef rock. this looks kind of like a rock made of a bees honey comb
2. lace rock. this is like normal rock that has been in the ocean and now is dried out and dead
3. tufa. this stuff almost looks like number one but doesnt have the honey comb pattern. its...
yes dont wash the rock. if you pop ine of the then you will release all the spores and you will have a rock full of them. i have one bubble in my tank and i wont mess with it. even though its killing me to take it out. just wait and take the whole colony out when it gets big. also try an emerald...
well i have a 55 gal. the fish i have is 2 clowns, 1 angel, one pj cardinal, and a bicolor cromi. plus all the oher usual stuff like snails and hermits.
if you find anything let me know. i am about 3 hrs north of philly.a place called mt. carmel, it in northumberland county. all i have is gren star poylps but there not yet ready to frag out.
i have a pygmi angel and i love that little guy. mine is actually a sissy marie. so i guess its like those peopple that say that they have friendly damsels. all mine does is swimm all around my live rock and graze on it.
as i have been treating my tank it is not looking like my clown has ich. what do you guys think? thay have a discoloration on the top of thier heads. also my female has lost some of her dorsal fin.
i have 30 hermits, 10 asorted snails, an emerald, green star polyps, orange zoos, 1 bicolor cromi, 2 clowns, 1 pygmi angel, 1 pj cardinal, and about 70 lbs of live rock. i know im forgetting something lol.
i did do some reserch the past week and i have found a medication the wont (so they say) kill most crustations. i am useing it right now on my 55 reef. it is called rx-p by kent marine. i will keep you all posted in my own thread called "is there no other way"
to the best of my knowlege melafix is not anti-parasitic. it is used for bacteria and fungus. if some one has used this treatment and it has worked then you misdiagnosed the disease but used the right medication. it is light trying to scabies with triple antibiatic. it just wont work.
i have 2 power sweepa and i have never really had any probs with them. once in a blue moon it will stop but i tap it and it will start right back up. i dunno maybe i got lucky and got a good set. i know of alot of people that have had problems with them
ok i have done some research and the best stuff i have found to buy tomarrow is RX-P. has anyone used this product? the manufacturer says its reef safe and wont harm inverts.
