Question still stands "moderator". Do I have to do anything special to the dry rock before I add it to the tank, oh wise one?

Several months ago, I researched the life cycle of ich and there are a couple tail tale signs that will let you know if you have the problem. After my first run in with ich, I have been very cautious with every new fish that I've purchased. Making sure it is not diseased. I do not want to stress...

There was never any medication in the biocube. I purchased fish and placed them in the biocube for observation. After a couple of months, if they looked and behaved fine, I placed them in the display tank. It was just a separate tank used to make sure things were cool with any fish I bought were...

I have a 29 gal biocube that I've used for a quarantine tank for some time now (about 4 months). It's been cycled and everything. It has 40 lbs of sand and three pieces of live rock just to make the new comers feel a bit at home until they finally make it to the main tank. Oh, there's also a...

I didn't want to hijack someone's else thread so I decided to post on mine. The other thread was along the lines of having a problem with adding new sand to already seasoned sand and how to clear it up. Someone said to add a sock to the sump. If I did this, what micron and would it help?

Thanks everyone. It gives me something to look forward to. I relocated the only three corals I have to the 29 gal biocube cause I was afraid the cloudyness would hurt them. They seem to enjoy it better now.

I have a 125gal with 150lbs of live rock and 180lbs of Ocean Direct Caribbean Live Sand original grade substrate. The tank has been up and running for about 7 months. I recently introduced a mated pair of Diamond Watchman Gobies to stir up the substrate and keep it pretty oxygenated. Oh boy are...

Ultimately, my plans were to keep this tank as a quarantine tank. So, if anything that goes in the 29 gal biocube (rock, skimmer, ect..) stays in there. I'm just trying to improve the living conditions in there by making the water filtering a bit better. What comes factory is not that good. I...

I actually have a few pieces of freshwater rock in there that I've created hiding places with. Seems to work and the water parameters are in check. By that I mean they are 0 for ammonia, 0 for nitrite, and bellow 20 for nitrate. I do regular water changes of about 30-50% every week. I test the...

I'm currently using a biocube 29 gal for a hospital tank to treat for ick. This is my first time doing this and I have a few questions. My questions are as follows: 1) I'm using Quick Cure as the medicine, can I remove the bio balls and replace them with live rock? The package says not to use...
