Well that is certainly encouraging. I have tried a snail as well as some type of coral invert that I could not even tell tell you what it was and they both died. I can try more water changes. I do have one of those filters in place that is suppose to turn blue with copper and it is not...

Beth, There is no coraline on the rock but there never has been. I have just purchased the lighting needed for coral growth. There is alot of brown algae on the rock, I am assuming from having a poor light schedule to begin with. So when you say it should be fine, are you referring to the pvc...

Anyone been through this before with PVC and those overflow covers? I don't know if they could absorb copper or not? And bleach on the base rock to get rid of copper? Or may some type of acid that you could go back with baking soda? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I do have LR but I am assuming that it has to go. No way to clean the copper out of it I guess? Bleach? Anyway, I will check the seems but I know they are silicone and I don't think anything could penetrate. Can you guys (gals) think of anything else? I have pvc piping. I have covers on my...

Not what I wanted to hear Beth, but what I expected. Okay, I want to do this right then. I am assuming that I need to chunk every grain of sand, every piece of rock, and ever thread of filter. What else do I need to do? What do I need to clean with? Is the piece of foam on my protein...

1.25% Chelated Copper and Formalain. I know the spelling is not correct but I don't have it with me.

I used Organi Cure about a year ago in my 240 gallon to treat to ich. I have ran carbon for a long time in my filter. I also have a packet of something that is suppose to remove all metals including copper. This is not changing colors like it is suppose to when metals are present. I have a...

Hey guys, thanks for the advice. I have attached a picture of my aquarium. I have roughly 48" between my overflow devices and all of my live rock will be in between those boxes. Any reason why I could not get away with just 48" at around 800-100 watts? If so should I go with metal halide or...

I have a 250 gallon FOWLR setup that I would like to get some lighting suggestions. I am currently using 2 8ft shop lights (don't laugh, it was cheap at the time). Well obviously I am not happy with the results and they put out way too much heat. I don't want to rule out the possibility of...

I am desperate to save my queen angel. She will not eat and is just staying in the same place. No signs of any parasites and all of my other fish are doing just fine. I have had her for about 3 months and she has always been the best eater of the bunch. She would eat algae or flakes anytime...

I thought the same thing snipe about the open wounds. I actually tested that theory several times but unplugging the pump. No stinging at all while the pump was unplugged. I have felt the salt before and it does burn a little but this was a very noticable surge. I have read a little about...

Hey guys, I posted this in the new hobbyist forum but it may fit better in here. I have a strange problem that has just come up. I have a 250 gallon that is about a year + old. I have a large hippo tang, a good sized naso tang, a clown, a kole tang, and a queen angel. I haven't added anything in...

How long will it take for base rock to actually become live rock?
