I set it up 4 weeks ago using water from the DT originally. I also added a sponge that has been in my DT for several months. All water changes i have used new water. I am using Seachem's copper test kit. Yes, there are 4 fish and an eel in the hospital tank. I removed all from the DT. This...

I have been treating with Cupramine for Marine Ich for 4 weeks. I treated for a longer period at a lower concentration because I have an eel. My level has maintained between 0.3-0.5 for the duration of the treatment. 3 days ago, I noticed my small blue tang flashing. It appears to have small...

Thanks yall :) I have gotten it a bit better by doing lots of 5 gal water changes every other day. Also I covered the tank and turned off all lights for 3 days. Ditched the bioballs and added chaeto and chemi pure in the back. Still high nitrates, but coming down and corals are making a...

BioCube 29g set up in June. Was running fantastic until about a month ago when we started having algae issues. First it was red slime, now its green hair. I did a massive overhaul yesterday and cleaned/scrubbed all three back chambers and removed the bioballs from chamber 2. The back wall of...

Snake-thanks so much for the input. Got a package on a tank/sump/pump/stand that came with a light... but I don't think I like the light. It's a Fluval Sea Marine and Reef 25000k 46W... Long story short it would have cost us more to get the package without the light (?!). From what I can tell...

Pretty pleased with our latest purchase of an LTA :) my female was very pleased with the new addition-she's been begging for an anemone...aka wallowing on my hammer coral Looks healthy to me-ate at the LFS... It's brown so I'm confident not a dyed anemone, but I wanted y'all's input. Also...

My thoughts exactly Mr. Llimpid. Thanks for the advice everyone-it's really appreciated! I have both in QT now - the wrasse doesn't seem happy but hopefully he will settle in :) It's going to be a LONG 6 weeks lol

Quick thought-since my Melanurus enjoys his sand sleeping, will he be ok in a bare bottomed QT? I've read about putting a tupperware in with sand, but I dont have extra sand laying around. If I were to get sand from LFS (for the wrasse) should I get live sand or...? I'd obviously have to treat...

Thank you! My LFS has them so I will get one

The angel wasn't really covered. I could only see very few dots on the tail and fins. The clowns on the other hand looked like they had a whitish film. I do not but can get my hands on one tonight.

Also, looking at pictures the clowns appeared to have brookynella-the angel I'm not sure about. It had small white dots that were almost impossible to see. Can brookynella and ich appear simultaneously? All fish ate up until death. The angel I found halfway eaten in the anemone. If brookynella...

I'm not because I have corals-so remove them from DT to QT and treat?

Take it from someone who didnt QT the first fish-QT everything! I just lost my clown pair to ich

I think I had an Ich epidemic. Totally my fault. I've moved way to fast and way too stupid. Now I'm paying a hefty price and feel awful. Here's what I lost: 2 Premium Picassos and a Flame Angel. I still have a Blue Green Chromis and a Melanurus Wrasse. From here do I: Remove the remaining two...

I just got a talking to from a guy at the LFS... "NEVER do a FW dip...you probably killed them for sure now..."... but he brought up a point-they may not be nudibranch. Here's what they look like...copepods??? I'm way too green for this stuff: I don't see any other critters that came off in the...

Long story short I have a nudibranch problem. I did a FW dip today to get them off my Zoa rock, but who knows if there are eggs (probably, though I can't see them). Thought about repeating the dip every 5 days for the next 15 days until the life cycle is complete...BUT I have a shipment of Zoas...

Our own unit is definitely on our "want" list-we just never considered it until I started reading on this forum and right now we don't have the upfront funds. UPDATE: as much as I pored over them for literally hours and was CONVINCED there were no pests... the more I looked into it the more I...

Nope, RO saltwater. We buy it mixed straight from the LFS who has a huge supply cheap for VIP members. That is the same LFS he bought the zoanthids. I increased their flow last night and they are still closed. Hoping they change their mind. Could they be getting too much light???
