    Need New Fish Addition Advice

    All that sounds great! I used to have Chromis before, I think I had 5, and yah, they ended up dying. So I might not go that route. Hmmm, I just completed Hypo with my Magnificent Foxface, and I didn't like doing it haha. So maybe a Tang will be out of the question for now. But I will definitely...

    Will be Starting Hypo Treament Soon

    So I started raising the salinty on Tuesday, but I've noticed that since around Saturday, my FoxFace has been acting a bit weird and is NOT eating anymore. Plus the water is a bit cloudy. I'm kind of stuck on what to do next. I'm probably going to soak some food in Garlic to get him to eat. Also...

    Ok, the color on the foxface is better. He is eating. I will plan on water changes every other day or so. Thanks and I will keep this thread updated if anything exciting happens. So far no more white dots. So I will start the 4 week count down today 11/15.

I just got it to that level last night. could that be the reason? I tried to give it some food, of...

    Question about pH levels. Am I supposed to keep pH level the same as my Display Tank in the Hyposalinity Tank? Which i think is around 8.2? I caught my FoxFace and am currently lowering the Salinty. Well not now since i'm at work, but will start again when I get home. Just wondering about pH for...

    I'm too lazy to change my Avatar Hmmm.... Now you got me thinking about this whole Hypo thing. I was concerned about keeping all my fish contained in a small tank for more than a month. The thing with ich though, It's already in my tank, so even if I treat my foxface with Copper, who seems...

    Will be Starting Hypo Treament Soon

    Ok, so I will leave my Fluval in the Main Tank. That is true, I will be doing water changes, so I guess it will not matter as far as filtration. My Foxface is not big. Probably 4 inches? I'm just concerned having all 4 of my fishes in a small tank for over a month. I know that Hypo takes a...

    I heard that if I bake the baking soda, then it will be the perfect PH buffer. Anyways, any word on if I should use my Fluval 405 for Filtration during Hypo treatment? My Refractometer should be here tomorrow.

    To Maintain the PH level. That's right, isn't it? So yah, I'm still curious regarding the Tank Size for all 4 fish, and whether I should use my Fluval 405. I think I can adjust the flow so it will not be too strong. Ok, I will be waiting for some advice once again =)

    Will be Starting Hypo Treament Soon

    Well, last week my Kole Tang died. The next day I noticed spots on my Magnificent Foxface. Most likely Ich. My DT is 110 gal with 1 - Mag Foxface; 1 - Fire fish Goby; and 2 - False Perc Clowns. The Clownfish and goby looks good, but I want to rid the DT of Ich completely, hopefully before...

    Dwarf Eel Experience?

    Hmmm... I don't want my firefish to be eaten haha. or do i for a golden dwarf eel. Would my Cleaner Shrimp probably be eaten as well? I might get some anthias as well. Still deciding. But I am currently waiting for a Mag Foxface to come in, but then I saw the Dwarf Eel, and was curious about care.

    Surface Skimmer??

    I have a Surface skimmer that attaches to my Fluval 405 and I like it. It DOES NOT act as a PROTEIN skimmer though. It just cleans the top off to make it nice and clear. But you should definitely get a protein skimmer. I learned the hard way, as far as $$$

    WavePoint T5 Retrofit Kit

    Yah, I bought it. It's a big difference compare to the stock bulbs with the canopy. I do wish it had better reflectors, but for the price, I can't complain. Good luck with your WavePoint!
