I was told to do this by an LFS that does it to all of their stock before putting them on sale. They do a GreenX bath in a bucket and then a 5 minute fresh water dip after acclimation. Any thoughts?

I lost my 3 Perculas over the weekend to Brook. I think I bought them infected but anyway how long should I wait before I start restocking?

What the heck is this? They're clustered in a corner of my tank.

Water parameters Ammonia-0 Trates-10 Trites-0 pH-8.2 Salinity-1.026 Temp-80 65gal I have 3 perculas in the tank (only fish). 2 of them that I bought at the same LFS are developing what I think is Brooklynella and haven't eaten since I got them on Monday. The other seems stressed and his been...

Vermiculated Angelfish Actually, any input on this fish would be great.

I ordered some MHs this week and now I'm faced with keeping them nice and cool because I'm not getting a chiller. So...I'm going to install (4) 4" fans in my canopy to keep a good airflow through out my canopy. I'm also going to drill an additional piece of wood to the canopy support to raise...

I just bought 2 timers for my lights today and I want to make sure I don't set myself up for an algae outbreak. Actinics-on at 3pm 10k-on at 5pm 10k-off at 11pm Actinics-off at 1am Is that too much lighting? Maybe run the 10Ks for 5 hours instead of 6... :thinking:

Can someone put together a nice list of critters I can add to my 65 gallon? This will be my first addition to the tank..

How do you keep your macros? 24 hour lighting? Whats been working best? I just put my macro in yesterday and I plan on keeping the lights going 24/7 since I just got it. Hopefully it'll take and I'll see growth in the following weeks. After that, I guess I'll experiment and see what works.

Reef tank- 65 gal w/70lbs LR and 60lbs LS. I also have a refugium under the DT -15 gal. It presently has LS and mud in it but no algae or rock. The tank has been cycling for 22 days now and has had 0 ammonia and trite readings for 3-4 days. Trates are between 15-20 ppm (stupid colors). My pH has...

I'm approximately 10 days into my cycle and there is sooo much life in my tank. Here's a list of what I've found and observed so far. -4 peanut worms (seems like I find one every other day) -2 white flatworms -a really small snail -a really small feather duster -about a million pods - NOT an...

I checked out the hitchiker thread and didn't see this guy anywhere. I came home from work today and found two of them crawling around on my glass. Should I take them out the next time I see them?

Is there any rule of the thumb on how many watts per gallon or something?

I just purchased their saltwater master kit to test basic water params. Has anyone had any horrible experiences with their product? Any tricks or secrets I should know about using their kits?

Do I use the regular cocktail (gray colored)?

DT 65gal 43lbs LR 55lbs LS Refugium -5lbs LS bed 10lbs mud I put all this stuff in yesterday and I don't have any water parameters yet. I'm gonna take a water sample to the LFS today so I'll post the results later. When do I put in my Caulerpa? Am I supposed to wait till a certain point in my...

The LFS is about 25 minutes away from me. I have 5 of the 5gal jugs so I need to figure out the most efficient way to do this w/o messing everything up. How much LR should I pick up on my first run? I wanna pick up just enough to lay down the foundation for my reef but I'm not sure if that's the...

Which is better? I thought the EcoSystem was the way to go but I had 2 different LFS tell me otherwise. The main problem they had was keeping the Caulerpa alive after about a year. Is this true? The other thing they said was Caulerpa is seasonal so you can't get it year round in which case...
