    How is ich transferred?

    I'm trying to ask someone..." If the tank is NOT fishless for 30 days " ( it's a HT being used to treat ich )when the fish go back in the main tank AFTER treatment...is it safe to transfer the biowheel back along with them? <img src="graemlins//urrr.gif" border="0" alt="[urrr]" /> <img...

    How is ich transferred?

    Thanks Terry but I didn't ask you how I got the ich in the first place. I'm well aware. I asked if the parasites can be transferred through the biowheel if I put it back on my main tank after use in the HT.

    Emperor 400 making lots of bubbles....

    Hey, thanks for all the help here you guys! :D The noise is a very loud watery sound...no clicking or anything so it must be air getting in somehow, I'll check it for cracks when I get home tonight...I hope I can figure it out, it would be nice to have a quieter, calmer tank for a change!! ;)...

    Emperor 400 making lots of bubbles....

    Yah, it really does run loudly...it always has. I usually keep the water up over the slides but sometimes below...I'll check when I get home tonight for air intake anywhere. I don't know where the air would come in from, though...anyway thanks for all your suggestions. I really appreciate the...

    Emperor 400 making lots of bubbles....

    Well, let's see...the flow over the biowheels is fine, although I keep it kinda slow. Should I speed this up a bit? I think the inlet tube is the same thing as the suction tube you mentioned, right? If so, yah, the tube is in tight and it's way below the water line, so I don't think any air is...

    How is ich transferred?

    Just a (probably) silly question...I wondered if ich can be transferred through the filter media? I'm setting up a HT and I thought I'd use the already aged bio wheel from my main tank to set up the cycle on the HT...when I transfer it back to the main tank, is there any risk of bringing...

    Emperor 400 making lots of bubbles....

    Does anyone know of a way to avoid all these bubbles in the tank with this filter? Is this normal? I've got LOTS of "tiny bubbles" in my tank and I'd rather have them in a glass of champaigne!! <img src="graemlins//silly.gif" border="0" alt="[silly]" />

    I'd like to be a little more prepared with my QT so that I can use it at a moments notice...I don't keep it up & running so...if I put the sponge filter from my little aquaclear filter ( that goes on the QT ) inside my Emperor 400 ( on my show tank ) would it build up the nitrifting bacteria in...

    how long does it take to get ick?

    Okay. I put a christmas wrasse in my tank one day, then brought it back to the store the next day ( I decided I wanted to wait for a six-line to come in )...it wasn't in the tank for 24 hours. If I thought the wrasse MIGHT have ick, should I be worried about the rest of my fish getting it? I...

    anyone recommend these pc's?

    Hi again H2O! I really thought the smartlite would be the best way to go as far as cost & getting the look I want over the tank. As far as the 55 & 96 watts goes... I really want to make sure the light covers the length of the tank...my tank is 48" long. Do you think I'd have to get two of the...

    Okay...Thanks everyone for responding. I'll check everything out before I decide what to get but I really appreciate all your advice! My tank is a 55 gallon with LS, some crabs & snails and feather dusters, so I don't need huge lighting, just wanting to upgrade from the one tube of 50/50...
