I had a spare 20gal tank, protein skimmer, and light laying around so I decided to make a frag tank. Im not using any substrate or live rock, just bare bottom and egg crate. I do have a few questions though. How long should I let the water age before I can put corals in it? Does this tank...

I did not clean the sand when i moved the tank, and the cyano is red, stringy, and snotty. there are some bubbles on some but not all of the cyano. I think i'll clean the sand and try a blackout for a few days. I'll also increase the weekly water change percentage.

I moved my 75 gallon reef tank from my living room to my basement a couple of weeks ago and ever since then I have had trouble controlling cyano. I have a lite bioload with 4 fish. I have cut back there feedings to nori feed once or twice a day and mysis every other day. I have done many water...

Dont order from here. I ordered 50lbs this past winter, communication is horrible, took weeks to ship out, excuse after excuse, then when i finally got it there were no heat packs so the rocks were cold as ice. Needless to say no life was left after curing. They did give me a small percentage...

Im planning on buying a refractometer today. The tang is looking even better today. How fast should you lower the salinity? Ive seen some sites say by 48hrs and other say around a week.

good news after not eating yesterday, the tang did eat some food today. Its eye is also looking somewhat better. After doing more research on ich treatments i think ill try hyposalinity next time. Have any of you had positive or negative experiences with hypo?

The hippo tang was never in my 75g DT, he was in a 29g I use for a QT, then when he showed signs of ich I moved him to a medication tank. I went with the copper method because ive had success with the method before. The tang also was still pretty strong and i knew it would survive the stress of...

now its almost looking like some sort of popeye

The tang is in the QT tank

I have had a blue hippo tang for about 6 weeks, he contracted ich so I put him in a qt tank and treated him with copper. After 6 days of treatment all signs of ich are gone, but today i noticed he has some kind of cloudy film around one of his eyes. Do anyone know what this could be. Is it a...

I ordered 50lbs of live rock from JLR over 2 weeks ago, I called them last week because I hadn't herd anything from them, and they told me that it was still curing and it would ship on monday. OK thats fine, then monday came and past and still hadn't herd anything new, so I called today and they...

Im moving some of my live rock from my 29g to my 75, only problem is that some of the live rock has some bubble algae on it and I don't want bubble algae in my new tank. What would be the best way to make sure no bubble will be able to hitch a ride to the new tank?

I put in the food and let it sit overnight it dissolves somewhat and the frozen food soaks up the flaver.

I've started to put a little garlic powder in my fish food. Fish seem to really love it.

Buy a diamond goby they a very good at keeping the sand stirred up so the algae will not have a chance to grow.

Pretty sure my tank has been infested with marine ich. Today I noticed more white spots on several of the inhabitants. Could be part of the reason for the angel not eating. I set up a 24g QT and I am debating on the best treatment. Tomorrow I'm going to my lfs for advice. Any ideas of things...

I have tried emerald entree, it just took one bite then spit it out and ignored the rest. I think tm i will get some garlic flavoring to try and entice him. I have tried brine but not mysis shrimp alone. It was in some of the frozen food preparations though. All my water tests have been...

all mostly peaceful fish tomato clown, royal gramma, sixline wrasse, lawnmower blenny, diamond goby. I have not noticed any aggression between any of them. So i doubt that is the cause.

Its just a yellow pygmy angle. aka false lemonpeel, heralds angel.

well there are 6 fish in the tank, it would probably be best to QT all of them wouldn't it. I'll take a look at craigslist to see if i can find something to reasonable. None of my fish however have been rubbing against things, or have any other symptoms of ich exept the 2 fish with temp spots...
