I pick the hot water, and addressing it before it gets to a point where it threatens other inhabitants. I am a rather paranoid person and I headed it off at first sight, and I have none. My concern is this. If one has a "outbreak" it is hard to beleive that this same person is competent...

".. im not no expert but i have read that u sould not add corals to a tank unless u have coraline algea that u have grown to be at least the size of a dollar coin... to grow coraline u need decent lighting and water.. soo.. therefore.. no cotoaline algea = no coral..." what?!?!

I'd give the anenomes a month. Maybe try to fiddle with the rock work and get them up closer to the light. The rock work is pretty bad asthetically anyway the way it is now. Perhaps double up the light to one side of the tank. Untill you can rectify the situation. As far as introducing...

what did your research tell you?

Is it me or does buying a Copper for aptasia seem a bit much? Sure they are annoying, but it's nothing a squirt of some hot (150 degrees F +)water couldn't take care of. Takes a couple of "doses" to get rid of them all but no sign of them for 5 months now. Impact to the rest of the tank is...

Patience and a balanced tank and patience. Once I quit screwing around with my tank and let it go on auto pilot things really started to happen. Inverts dormate for year+ (i'm guessing) started popping up (including small jellyfish), coraline went nuts, fish quit dying and so on. Dosed with a...

I did some research but could not find an ID for this creature. Appeared literaly over night (cleaned yesterday) on the front glass. So it is possibly mobile. I do not have a digital camera to take photos but the rendering, I feel, does a good job of representing what I am seeing. It is very...

I was under the impression from the research I had done on the BB that the infection that exists in my tank was mild as far as infections go. The fish seem to be resisting infection, the clown fish is obviously feeling and loking better, he still has some residual signs, but is noticably and...

Sorry, my post was a little misleading, I know that the ich still exists and will exist for some time in the tank even though the fish are not displaying the signs. So, I still plan on doing the treatment and garlic food. My tank is a 29G, Reef, pretty simple reef though, my only coral is a...

UPDATE Well it turns out the clown is just fine. Turns out he is just a picky eater. He preferes to eat only red flakes. He won't touch the yellow/orange ones or eat any shrimp. But, he can't get enough red flakes. And the ich is almost gone. Tank is happy. regards has anyone else had this...

Last tuesday I picked up a new clown fish and he has yet to eat. He was exibiting white spots, I did one dose of Greenex at the suggestion of my LFS, but then quit the treatment due to things I have read on the bored. Also, I began feeding the other fish (3 green chromis (1 of which had a spot...

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like I'm going to ditch this idea. Oh well. Thanks for the input. regards

While back I was going to try and be cheap and buy Quikrete sand for my SB, but it turned out to be too brown. So I ditched it and bought real live sand. So, now I have 50 lbs of Quikrete sand sitting around, and I'm thinking that it would look perfect in my fresh 20 gal long. Any thoughts...

When I converted I vacumed the CC well (to minimize debris). Then I scooped out half of the CC and replaced it with live sand. When I added the sand I scooped it out of the bag with a cup and poured it onto the floor of the tank with the cup as close to the bottom as possible. The debris...

For some reason my false perc died. Everything was fine untill then as far as I know. All fish were/are active, inverts active, mushrooms reproducing/splitting, coraline growing everywhere. But now my nitrates are at 40 (used to be in the 5 range)! Could this be due to the dead body? I have...

first post..yey... I know ozone is harmful to a tank but to what extent? I was considering buying the sterilized weter from the super market, it is purified via RO, however it is ozonated. safe Y/N? thanks for any help.
