    The Dreaded Ich

    Yes I used that to help with cycling it to keep the ammonia from skyrocketing from adding 10 fish it's only around 15lbs max, which it kept the ammonia from rising at all. Normally I only have pvc pipe. Once I am done with it I will probably just trash it because it attacts hair algae like a...

    The ick dropped off last night . Now I have to deal with the eye problems, I think they keep running into the rock by accident when I come in their room.

    The Dreaded Ich

    Okay I turned the temp down to eighty. I tried to do it 48 hours but I ran out of RO water from filling my 37gallon tank with display water and putting new water in and then collecting more for dropping the salinity too.

    My purple tang still has a good amount of ick on him even after almost a week of 1.009 hypo and a two weeks of quarantine all together. I even had the temp turned up to 83 to help speed the ick life cycle so they could die once they dropped off. Is there something wrong or am I just impatient?

    ph high ...help

    You must have added a lot of base of some sort to cause the buffer to start to wonder out of the center of its equilibrium all the way towards a pH of 9. Is there any ammonia in the tank, ammonia is basic and might add to the problem

    Pinpoint Ph Probe Leaking!

    Just for reference if you were to break the probe's glass nothing but a solution of dilute hydrocloric acid would come out which would be absorb by your buffers. Just happened to see this in my Chem book so I thought I would share it. Oh the joys of electrochemistry.

    Somewhere between 0 and .25. It should probably started to diminish when I took the flame out six hours ago.

    37 gallon quarantine that used to be my sfe's tank until he got moved to his bigger tank. There is a small amount of NH4 from the flame angel but before I found him there was 0 nitrites, and 0 NH4. There are 7 9 tangs(5 being zebramosas(sp)) and 2 blennys.

    Yes refractometer I dropped the salinity over a week. The flame angel looked like it had problems when I got it, it was sort of skitish. Its hard to tell if the fish aren't just more grab in the dull lighting. Otherwise they are their normal pig selve with food.

    Update: Purple Tang still has ick, although I only got the water at 1.009 today. My new Flame Angel died , he wasn't looking too well when I got him, but he is still guaranteed. All other fish are doing well though my Red Sea species, the Purple and Sailfin, are looking a little paler then what...

    Car People? Post Your Ride!!!

    Thought I post a pic to help support the Euro car drivers. Here is my latest car, maybe I'll have this one for more than a year. My parents are car dealers so my car gets sold, I get a new one. It is kind of nice for both of us. All 5 of my cars in the past 2 years have been Audis. My last cars...

    Project Fishroom underway for new 240 setup

    I didn't have an area to attach it either so I stapled in an area to attach the rollers to. If you take a look at the first picture you can see how I had to attach it.

    I found the opinion to be split on eels also. So I'll have to go with the least detrimental option. 1. If eel gets quarintined with other fish: Most likely he will kill my hippo, flame angel, and small yellow tang and torment the others, thus stressing them even more. 2. If I leave him in the...

    I guess they would be considered to be more like pinch rollers. I had more doors cut in half so my doors are only 4ft. My door/window for my eels tank weighs alot .5in acrylic and .5 in plywood and trim. You could use eight of them, one every two feet which should be able to hold it well.

    I am not worried about the rock it is branched fiji ive rock and it collects hair algae like crazy since snails can't get to it, while the fish are out I will probably get more regular fiji rock and start cycling that, not in the main of course. Another one down 6 more to go
