I have never tried it but I know my dogs dont care for it. Are you running all of your household water through an RO/DI? I plumbed mine is seperate from everything else in the house so all it does is fill trashcans of tank water.

Maracyn for freshwater will get rid of the cyno but you still need to try and find the underlying cause. Add 1 crushed up tablet per 10 gallons to your tank and the cyno will be gone in 3-4 days. My 220 FOWLR was covered in the stuff and it cleared with no side affects. I never did really ID...

We had a burgundy starfish that stayed out most of the time and recenty added a blue linkia starfish to my reef that is always out doing something.

Maracyn for fresh water will get rid of the red slime algae but you will still need to figure out what the source is. Just add 1 crushed up tablet for every 10 gallons of water and it will be gone in a couple 3 days. I just used it on my 220 that was covered. My entire sand bed and all of my...

I had a similar problem on my 220. I added the valve that has been suggested but I also ran a return line back to my sump so the pump runs a full pressure with the water going to the tank is adjustable. So it goes, sump pump return line to a "T", with 1 line going back to the sump and the...

No, its not you! It didnt make any sense at all.

I have purchased cured live rock several times and have always had good luck wit it. You are going to go through a small curing process because there is going to be some die off during shipping. You can do this in your main tank just get ready for water changes and skimming. The smell from this...

Maracyn for freshwater will get rid of Cyno in 2-3 days. Add 1 tablet per 10 gallons of water. Crush the tablets up before adding them to the tank. I just cleared out a 220 that was covered in the stuff.

I am leaning away from windex being the cause and more toward a disease or an ammonia spike from a mini cycle. Regardless, if you had ick in the tank you will want to leae it fish free for 6-8 week to allow the ick to run it life cycle and die off. I would also raise salinity to 1.025. IMO

The pipes that are included with your tank go inside the piece you referred to has the black hump. There should be 2 holes drilled through the bottom of your tank inside the "hump". 1 hole is for water leaving your tank throught 1 pipe and the 2nd hole is for water returning to you tank through...

I got my LF to eat silverside my slicing the silverside at an angle so they were a bit stringy and resembled ghost shrimp when I put them in the tank.

I purchased about 60lbs of new sand and plan on using a small amout of my old sand to seed the new stuff. I still have a refugium that was tied in to the tank with plenty of life in it that will help the tank along. As for the remained of the old sand i plan on cleaning it throughly, drying...

1. There is no true minmum. Some people have nano tanks that are just a coule of gallons. 2. I think bigger is better. My tanks, until the cracked glass incident last night were a 110 and a 220. I wouldnt start with anything less then a 55 gallon myelf. When you make a mistake in a small...

Yes, rinse, rinse, then rinse again. I recommend adding the rinsed sand to the tank 1st before any water is added. Cover the sand with a layer of plastic (garbage bag or plastic drop cloth) and then filing the tank about 1/2 to 2/3s of the way with water before removing the plastic. This...

If you are just moving the decor from 1 tank to another and not the wter i see no real reason to worry about cleaning off the old tap water. You want see any problems from that. You might want to consider purchasing an RO/DI now. Transporting 125 gallon to fill up a tank and then water...

Reading around the forums the recommendation seems to be to only replace about 2 inches of the sandbase along with the LR and corals and i shoud be OK regarding ammonia. I will probobly see a small spike anyway. Need to read up and see if there is a way to get the remainder of the sand back in...

I had one about that size and used a long handled pond net. You can also use a small bucket.

At 1am this moring I was awaken by my water alarm on my 110 reef. :scared: It seems a rock had shifted cracking the rear glass. I had a crack going from side to side about 6inches off the bottom of the tank. I guess I was losing about 3 gallons per minute. Right now all of my LR and...

I have used Stop Parastite and Kick Ich. Both of these products are reef safe and both of them really didnt take care of the problem. The only thing they got rid of was my money. Hypo works! IMO.

Something that I dont believe was mentioned.....if it was a freshwater tank you need to be sure no copper meds were used in the tank. Copper, even trace amounts in the tank will create a probem with some freshwater inverts, corals, LR.
