Are there any good treatment recommendations for HLLE?

is distilled water better for the tank instead of tap water with detoxifier?

I have a 55g FOWLR (and a few other inverts: cleaner shrimp & emerald crabs). My current lighting is the standard 15w, 24inch bulbs that came with the tank (there is one on each side for a total of 2 bulbs for the tank) My hood is rated for 19w. Any suggestions on what bulb to add to give my...

I've heard of some people lowering the salinity level to ward off outbreaks while keeping inverts in their tank. Anybody try this and have luck?

how are you doing your hypo treatment?

I'm pretty sure my hippo tang has popeye. Is Melafix the way to go or should I use something else? Any potential causes on how he got it? Thanks!

I'm like JMRT, I have a yellow & blue hippo in a 55g for 6 months now and both are great

I have a coral banded shrimp and "had" 2 cleaner shrimp living in harmony for months and all of a sudden my cbs decided to kill them (I witnessed one of the homicides myself) and now it kills any new cleaner shrimp that I try to add to replace the murdered ones. Not sure if it got bored all of...

cool octo. what were the colored rings in the tank?

thank you

I know they don't ship over the holidays but does anyone know when they'll start selling again? I want to spend some Christmas money.

I recommend a cleaner shrimp. I have 2 and they are great additions. very active & fun to watch plus they "clean" your fish of parasites which is very cool to watch as well

Are you supposed to filter the water before running it throught the UV? I currently have a sponge on my powerhead inport filtering uneaten food, waste, etc. before it gets run through the UV.

how do you guys filter the water that enters your UV? Do you use a spone over the inport of the powerhead?

My hippo shows a few signs of ich (just a few spots) about once a month for 1-2 days. Gives my shrimp (2 cleaner, 1 fire) something to pick off him. My shrimp are always cleaning all my fish, highly recommeded! Plus they're fun to watch. I also use a UV sterilizer and garlic guard by seachem.

Is it OK to do hyposalinity with inverts? What should you lower it too and for how long?

A few of my fish are rubbing/scraping themselves against the rockwork as if they were scratching themselves. Is this a sign of anything?

I'd love to do an in-wall tank someday, do most build their own?

That is pretty much the coolest tank I've ever seen. When I'm done with school I may seriously give you a call to work something out

I've ordered many fish and inverts off of the internet (here from saltwaterfish.com) and haven't had a problem yet with critters showing up dead. Thanks saltwaterfish!!!! (I did have one shrimp die the next day but they replaced it for free on my next order and that one is doing great)
