I was thinking of moving the fish before tenting the tank to a LFS. So should i change the water in both tanks even tho i am tenting them before i bring the fish back??

So my landlord said that they are going to be tenting the Duplex for termites. My question is what do i do lol??? Can i tent the Tanks i have with tarps or make a tent out of plastic trash bags?? then tape my own tents to the floor with Duct tape? Any ideas or anyone have experience with this...

My banded cat shark is itching now :grumble:. Stupid ich. I did a fresh water dip on my trigger and moved him from the 110 to my 45. Then a day ago my marron clown itched and i dip her. The clown is fine now and now its the shark itching. Should i dip the shark?? Would it live?? I am soaking the...

So should i pick up the Nova Pro system, evne tho some light will hit the rim?? i could make a shroud to keep the light in the tank.

I would bite the bullet and get the bigger lighting system. I am starting a 45 reef and i was thinking of doing four t5's but then was like just spend the extra few bucks and get the larger 6 t5's. Why spend more later when you can do it right the fisrt time around. I am thinking of getting the...

So i was looking at lights some more and i think i want to go with 6-t5 lights other than 4-t5 lights. The only thing is my tank is 12 inches wide and the light fixture is 12 inches wide. Does that mean the extra two bulbs will be shining right on the rim of my tank or not? anybody know. I was...

Thank You all!!!!! That cleared up a lot of questions. I do have some live rock in the tank now and i am slowly buying more each time i am getting paid. The 45 use to be a fish only, but i want to dip into corals now. The wet/dry is a trickle filter with bio balls and a small area to put...

Hey all. I have my 45 gallon cycling right now. I was wondering if using my wet dry would be ok for a reef tank. Also what is a refugeum (sorry horrible spelling)? Do I need one or not. For lighting I was going to do t5 lights, two day light two act with blue moon lights. I want a mixed reef. I...

This always happens when i start a new tank. I want to post some pics of my 110 single overflow and my soon to be 45 reef. I am staining the the desk i turned into a fish tank stand. as soon as its done drying i will take some pics of the progress. It will be a couple months tho, i need to save...

It is a banded cat shark, and my girlfriend is in love with it. Lol. This is my third shark in all the years of tanking. The first one died due to copper, the second my amonia went way up (dark green). That is why i stayed away from copper, and got the kick ich. I figured i would try it and see...

I got the Kick Ich because it said that its reef safe and also safe to use with Lions sharks ect. My LFS told me to do the freshwater dip also. I dont have any iverts or corals so i am not worried about that, i just didnt want to kill the cat shark. Tomorrow i will get the garlic and vitamins...

So on Monday I bought a reef safe ich med. Its called Kick Ich. I dosed the tank for day one, and i also did a freshwater dip on my trigger. He was fine in the fresh water so i left him in there for 15-20 minutes. After that he looks much calmer and i havent seen him itch. Maybe gone?? Also i...

I saw the trigger scratch 5 times and he swims in the current from my return, tho only when the light is on. The trigger is a PIG!!!! He will eat anything i put in the tank, as well as the clown. The shark eats when i turn my lights off. The grouper has pop eye that i have been treating and has...

Hello everybody! I have a Pink taled trigger i bought two weeks ago, and i belive he brought ich into the tank. I have dealt with ich before, but my banded cat shark just hatched and started eating!!!! I am not sure if they like copper so much....anybody know???? I had a cat shark once before...

Hello, new to the forum here. I have been in Aquariums for 9 years, but only in saltwater tanks for 5 years. My first saltwater tank was a 45G. I have a 110G fish only right now but soon to make it a reef!!!!!! Off to go search for lighting systems! :bounce:
