    sick tang

    Yes #1 you are correct about the PH!! To prepare a proper freshwater dip, take either dechlorinated tap water or demineralized water (RO or DI), aerate for an hour to maximize dissolved oxygen, heat to match the temperature of the dip water to that of the tank water, and then add buffering...

    sick tang

    I have always read freshwater dips....no salt. That is why the parasites jump ship/fish??? Thus the name itself is a "freshwater dip"???? Freshwater?? I will agree on RO/DI IS better than tap, but most beginners don't access it until later....

    In my tank... I never DIRECTLY told ANYONE to get rid of their qt tank...... Again, just because I do it....Are you??? Didn't your mom ever give you the "cliff" speech???

    Cycling ???

    Cheap is a figurative word. To me it's "cheaper" to BUY an RO/DI machine than it is to use my tap & add chems to it. Not inferior product per say.... Also "TOP OF THE LINE" is figurative. Every product want to be sold, so it is a matter of OPINION. Every year it changes. Every year a new product...

    sick tang

    Make sure when using freshwater you treat it to remove unwanted metals!! Then you place the fish into the water for 2 minutes. Return fish to qt & throw away the water. Most of the parasites would have jumped ships. But not ALL!! Keep treatment up!! This proceedure does not kill the fish. If he...

    question about clown fish

    Are you planning more fish in the future? MY opinion is add angels LAST! They tend to get VERY posessive of the tank & will cause trouble.

    Sushi Seaweed ?

    I would never recommend you to use it. Human consumption is over processed w/ chemicals..not to mention cooked. It's best to get all natural & no preservatives.

    Shrimp

    Crabs, try some hermit crabs. They are reef safe. Don't kill fish either. Just algae. Great cleaning crew!! Need about 35 once your tank is established. Try some snails. They'll keep your glass clean. They will be all over the glass!! Urchins do the same & are prickly. Just remember to feed the...

    Shrimp

    Ghost shrimp may look cool, but they are actually feeder shrimp..... My aggressive fish love to hunt them down & eat 'em!! Except my puffer, too slow!! Clowns will, too. Again, Tangs just eat veggies. A yellow tang is wonderful to watch. They dance in the water. Like skipping. My cat is...

    I never told anyone to throw away their qt's. I always told them to keep incase of fin rot etc.. expecially since most people forget to do research on new fish & there is trouble in paradise. qt's are good to separate fighting fish. I, personally, have no use for it. I am just spreading the...

    I haven't used my qt in 3 yrs. I am not about to change anything until I have evidence that my scarlets don't work. 3 yrs, hard to dispute the facts. I have had an empty 55 G for 3 YRS!!! I am ready to boot the qt & stock it. My water flucuated when I went on a family vacation. 2 weeks. Friend...

    question about clown fish

    Yep, I agree with that statement!! Lots of fish don't want to be mix w/ relatives. They like their privacy. Get them new neighbors!!
