Greetings all, just wanted to share some info with fello techies. I just set up and started a new filter system (new to me) and would like to address this system. I am in no way affiliated with this company and am in no way endorsing it. This is simply an unbiased look at the system. This filter...

Any other takers on this one?? Seems there might be more people using it without knowing...

Beth, do you know anything about that New Life Spectrum THERA+A food and safety with invers? Chris

Yes I try to avoid copper at all costs. That is a scary thought eh?- A shrimp munching on food with copper.....

Well has the laundry list as usual, but one of the lesser (at the end) is copper sulphate, and ferrous sulfate. There are others it seems who have been using this food without knowing it had copper in it to include people with shrimp and the shrimp eat it...

Hello all and goody evening/day. Does anyone have any knowledge or info about a line of food by New Life called Spectrum THERA+A Non Medicated Anti-Parasitic Formula? Specifically is it safe for use in a tank with inverts? I see on the ingredients it has copper sulfate listed at the end, so I...

Yes, I do have crushed coral for substrate in this tank. I have found as long as I keep on the 10% partials I have pretty good water. This is the first time I have had an outbreak of any sort in a tank in probably 16 years, that is why it has surprised me so.

I can put these 2 finfish in quarantine, treat with copper, leave the inverts in the infected tank, three weeks should elimniate the bug, yes? Also you are saying ditch the undergravel? I have been using these for years, I had understood that despite some newage thinking, they are still very...

What if I remove the remaining finfish and raise temp to 84+ for few weeks? I remember something about that

I guess I should have gone there first, I was wondering why you kept inquiring on h2o params. Temp 78', Sal 20.0, NO3 8.5ppm, NO2 0.0ppm, NH3/NH4 0.18ppm, pH 8.0, TotalAlk 120ppm.

Glass floater with therm, I use a 1000ml beaker when I test.

I have a cleaner shrimp, dozens turbo snails, few hermits, and about 40lbs of live rock. This is the crux of the biscuit, if I interpret the text correctly and I thought this was topic in my schooling, can't treat with copper with the inverts and can't move them to another tank cause they may...

Yes sorry, very rude of me, hello all Chris here, Woods Hole MA. Salinity via h.ydrometer calib@75'. My water is spot on for all params, that is what I don't understand. I do know-well estimate this introduction came with the engineer gobies, I estimate this based on dates and organism cycles.

I know some fish are ****** resistant but not sure what species. Does anyone know are Damsels one of them, I have two different species of Damsel. They have shown ZERO signs and no rock rubbing. Also I cannot treat the tank for cryp with inverts/liverock in place, this is a correct...

My filtration on the 45 is undergravel with power heads, a marineland canister filter wit carbon pack and periodic run of vortex diatom filter.

Heya all, I have a 45 gal reef/fish setup that is fully cycled. H2o params are all on the mark. I work for NOAA and have access to full lab setup at the main aqaurium at our facility. In short I know my H20 quality is good. I had no problems in this tank, it was populated with couple damsels...
