    Gfo

    I stated above it was quote from their website. I never said it was a miracle product just was an alternative that worked for me in my situation and just trying to help a fellow reefer. I have two tanks one 70 gallon that runs a Phosban reactor and my smaller nano which I needed to find an...

    Gfo

    True but mixed with carbon it stays seperated enough. Check out Chemi-pure Elite or the new Chemi -pure Blue as an example. See description from website below. It comes already in a bag ready to drop in. It worked wonders in by 16 gallon nano. Also heard of people putting regular GFO in a...

    Gfo

    two possibl ways. If you have a simple hang on back filter some and has a large enough chamber you can put some in a media bag and drop it in. I have an aquaclear filter that I put a small bag of Chemipure Blue in it It has a GFO in the bag. Another way but a bit more bulky is run a reactor...

    Quarantine Questions

    I will give my 2 cents (which will be one opinion in a thousand on what to do). The longer you can keep in QT the better your chances and will make you feel better. I try to go 5 to 6 weeks without any major medications since some fish are sensitive to medications even copper (can't remember...

    Are any of you as crazy/fanatic as I am?

    Unfortunately the worrying started from getting brooklynella in my tank the very first months in the hobby. Forced me to learn a lot very fast. Which brings me to the second thing that makes me crazy; the hundreds of opinions on what and how to do things in this hobby. But I do like learning...

    Are any of you as crazy/fanatic as I am?

    Let me explain myself, I find myself looking at every little detal in my tank and getting worried over every little change. For example, the latest, I see 2 white dots on my fish and freak out thinking I have ich, I lose sleep over it, investigate the whole next day on what to do only to come...

    sick clownfish

    There are more parasites than the common ones that wold always show a sign (e.g., ich). It is highly suspicious that you added a new fish recently and now disappeared and another not doing well. Is there any other fish in tank? Beyond chaecking all parameters, there would be nothing more you...

    Marine Velvet?

    Thats what I would do. I understand you feeling its cruel but what are you left to do. When the time is right (give it more time before doing anyhing and clown looks back to normal) maybe try to get a smaller cheap clown to pair with your recently widowed. I would be CRUSHED if I spent big...

    Marine Velvet?

    Well that sounds good. I would really have to think if it was velvet the clown would be getting worse so maybe a freak ting and what is showing on the clown is totally unrelated to the other deaths. I am intrigued so please keep us posted. If time passes and things seem ok and you add a new...

    Clownfish and Tang Death

    From best I can tell from picture it can resemble velvet but I agree if had 2 weeks it is a good chance it is not velvet. It does kill much quicker than that unless clown is a fighter. Now wondering if some kind of bacteria or fungus but that would not explain quick death of other fish. Hoping...

    Clownfish and Tang Death

    It may only be on top for now. I first noticed it on my CB angel on back right over gill area but probably could show anywhere. It could possibly fight it off but unfortunetely (like the Brook we exerienced) it is hard to cure once it grabs hold. It kills rapidly but not as quick or suddenly...

    Clownfish and Tang Death

    Marine Velvet. Also after dealing wit Brooklynella I recently experience velvet in a QT on a CB Angel. Thanks goodness I learned and quarantined. Anyhow, when you say dunked in flour I rmembered that is what the angel looked like.

    Duncan not opening

    If yo look at a past post labeled the same as yours "Duncan not Opening" It was started by Conklin and I last posted on it. It appears to be very similar to yours. I have suggested to that mine likes to be high in tank and med high indirect random flow, (yes totally opposite of what the...

    My pair of Picasso clowns hosting anemone

    Thank you my kids were worried they would not go back but told them once they start trying to host they should stick with it. Hope that was right!
