We test our tank weekly, more if we feel there is reason to. Our levels are usually not a problem. We had a moorish idol in the tank who had a spot on it's fin, which I really didn't think was anything. It didn't look like anything to worry about, I am sure it was there when we got the fish...

My boss has done this before too. She cuts the dose in half with hopes that it won't kill anything, however we have lost a lot of starfish because of it. But we always have shrimp, crabs and snails in there and they have always survived the coppersafe treatment. We currently have 3 cleaner...

Why can't I reuse the live rock? I took out the fish and urchin but I still have a feather duster, strawberry conche, and about 10 crabs in there. Everyone in there seems to be doing fine including the duster. As for the tank, I will leave it for a while longer then. Would you...

The only ammonia detoxifier available where I am is API Ammo Lock. The bottle doesn't specify though if it is for FW or SW. Can I use this just to help with the process? Believe me, if I could remove the fish from the tank, I would not hesitate. But for the one who suggested setting up a 10...

Moving the fish are not an option for me. My boss will not allow any outside fish in her tanks, so is there anything else I can do? I don't want anything to die. Fish here are outragiously priced so replacing them will be expensive. As for the bristleworms, the infestation is extreme...

Okay... A friend could no longer care for her SW aquarium and asked me to take it. I was more than happy to, but concerned as well. I wouldn't normally recommend putting fish into a new set up immediately. I always recommend to my customers that they get the skimmer and filter running, add...
