Hello, I will be in the process of quarantining some new corals, (Frogspawn, hammers, birdsnest, and condy anemone) They will go into a 10 gallon tank for 3 weeks first before being placed in my display tank(55gal) where I have PC lighting. I believe 4x65 watts Orbit. I learn my lesson with ICK...

Beth, Sep, NiceTry... Please help? with the orgininal question. Thanks!

Is it necessary? I have a fellow hobbyist that is selling some of his corals. i.e. Frogspawns, birdsnests... At the moment, my 10 gallon QT tank is being used by 3 fish in hypo right now. If I buy these corals from him, do I have to QT the corals for 3 weeks? I do not have room or another tank...

I soak my live b.s. in 1ml of Selcon. Is that good enough? nutritional enough?

Thank you again everyone. Because of the lack of info on the web, it was hard for me to research this specific fish be4 purchase. (I had to quickly buy a 3rd fish to meet the $79 minimum price for Free shipping.) The description on this site for the Redfin says Diet: Clam. I will try that...

Seatle and Saltfish123, Thank you very much for your quick response and advise. So where can I get these polyps? It has been 4 DAYS and still not touching any food. This is REALLY REALLY BAAAD... I can't find any diet related info on the web about the Redfins.. Thanks.

Saltwaterfish, I recently recieved 3 Beautiful fish from you yesterday Morning (7/06/07). 1. Banner Butterfly 2. Juv. French Angel 3. Red fin Butterfly They are all very healthy, active, and colorful... All are in a QT tank right now and will do Hypo soon after they start eating. The...

Fish eating fish?...eewww... Think about it. It's like Human cannabalism.

I literally freaked out the first time i saw him laying flat on the ground and not moving. I thought after 3 whole weeks and 60 dollars later, i have a dead flame angel :(. So I went to scoop him out w/ a net, lo' and behold he started moving again. He has done it 5 times now. I still get a...

For those that have/had flame angel(s) or know a lot about them. Have you ever seen them play dead at night time? Only at NIGHT time. My flame angel occasionally plays dead by lying on its side or in between two PVC's. Somtimes even upside down!! I freaked out when this happen the first couple...

Sep and Lion, Thanks for the quick response. Yeah. you guys have a point there. :thinking: It takes 2 weeks to kill ich using copper and doesn't kill on contact. darn. Well someone should invent a cure that kills ich on contact. Like Black Flag.

I've been thinking of this for quite some time now and need to ask to get the answer for it. I have an LFS that holds all their fish in copper tanks, (which means no ich). So...If I bought them home and put them in my DT that has no ich...doesn't that mean QT to prevent Ich is NOT necessary? Can...

That sucks! Did you have the s.g. down at 1.008 and kept it there for 4 1/2 weeks? Did you see any signs of ich while they were in QT? If not, then I'm afraid you may still have ich in your DT tank? Did you have any fish in your DT for those 4 1/2 weeks? Any new corals, inverts? How long did...

Goodwin - With all those tangs, I was wondering if you ever got an ich outbreak. I didn't recall you QT'ing , just acclimating. Did you ever get any signs of ich? and how did you go about fixing that? thanks.

Can you hypo a sea horse to 13ppt?

Which would be the most effective product to use to "help" remove the ammonia? Prime, Ammo-Lock, Amquel? All the description on them sounds basically the same. I tested the Prime product I have at home by placing couple drops in the test tube with the 4.0 ammonia water. In a few mins. the green...
