I am using tap water with the tetra added in. My tank has been set up for 6 months. Should I change to buying a different water like r.o. The brown algae is growing faster then I can clean it lol. My lfs tested for phosphates and it was a trace but they said not much. Thanks for the help Nino

I have had brown algae growing on my sand and green on my glass. If I clean it it comes right back with in 2 days I can almost watch it grow. I researched the site, put a Phosphates pad and bag in my canister, I have been using the tetra water treatment and I just bought a new GLO t5 fixture...

Originally Posted by Beth No, absolutely very, very bad. I'm assuming you have a live sand bed? Copper will kill your biofilter, and you can never really completely remove it without breaking the tank down. Do you have carbon filtration? Are you familiar with hyposalinity? Yes I have a...

Originally Posted by Beth chopzini, you can not put any copper in your display tank. It will kill off the live rock once you return it. Use hyposalinity. The treatment is discussed in the FAQ Thread at the top of this forum. Hey Beth, I think I messed up huge I had already removed my LR and...

My Puffer has signs of ick, hes in a 75 gallon tank by himself with live rock. I just set up my qt today a 29 gallon. I moved my live rock over to the qt tank to help it cycle so I could treat the my 75 with cupamine. My question is one my LR has had some hair alge grow on it it I leave it in...

I put up a post a few weeks ago trying to fing out the name of a certain wrasse that my lfs has in there show tank (not for sale) any way found out its a Formosa Wrasse - Adult can anyone give me some info on how big they get, care level for them and tank mates that are good. Also I have done...

I have been reserching this and I talked to a guy at my LFS and he was saying that sometimes before they wack the silversides that they treat them with copper and lions are sensitive to it could this be and if so could it have kill him. I had them check my water as well today and its all good.

Originally Posted by nicetry Doubtful the tank size was a factor. An 8 inch lion would be fine for quite some time in a 75. Rather sedentary fish and you had awhile before it maxed out in size. Tough to say with the color loss. Was the puffer bothering the lion at all? Might have been an...

Originally Posted by Beth As I said, that size fish is really too big for your tank. What were you feeding him? Did you try to target feed this fish? Silversides, yup you could just wiggle it at the top of the tank and he would come take it. We also fed him krill every now and then if he...

We were feeding about every three/four days or so. But with the puffer he would eat the most compared to the Lion. The Lion seemed to eat well when he wanted to , and other times he didn't show any real interest for a few days.

All my water level tests all are good and have done regular water changes. 75 Gal tank. Woke up this AM to find the Lion (8") dead on the bottom of the tank. He had been eating fine, but the night before he started to turn pale. He was completely white except for his fin in the AM. We've had...

Originally Posted by crimzy Thanks. My tank is plumbed through the floor into the basement. I have a 100 gallon refugium and a 150 gallon sump. I also have an MSX 300 skimmer. I do 50 gallon water changes every 2 weeks. What would you put in the 350? I say go for it... large setups are...

Originally Posted by crimzy I have a 450 gallon that's 96" x 36" x 30". I don't know what they go for new as I bought mine used. The only real drawback is that they are very difficult to scrape algae well. As far as pros, you can keep almost any fish you want, water quality will be better in...

I have a chance to get a 350 gal Acyrlic its 96X36x24, Anyone have a tank like this one. I was wondering pros cons. Any idea what they go for new? Thanks Nino

Can some one point me to a thread if there is one for a good QT tank set up. Thanks Nino
