I fully sympathize with you, because I had a very similar experience. My 6 fish are currently in quarantine for the same reason. Here are a few...
I could be wrong, but it doesn't look like bubble algae to me. Looks more like hair algae with oxygen bubbles developing. I had a similar thing...
I'm not familiar with the Red Sea surface skimmer - is this a full protein skimmer? I know that some companies make "surface skimmers" as products...
Do you need a refugium? No, IMO. You have about 2lb/gallon live rock, which is plenty. This will house bacteria that will help you eliminate your...
Yikes! I was worried about something like that, so I bought one of those battery-powered air pumps with an airstone. It plugs into the wall socket,...
My 90g is absolutely infested with pods, now that my fish have been absent in quarantine for the past 4 weeks. Most of the pods are tiny, but I am...
Ummm, your tank is 300L, or about 75 gallons, right? So an emperor angel will definitely not fit (I think maybe others might have misread at 300...
How big is your tank, and what is in it?
Personally I would always prefer a new tank, if possible. My main concern would be leaks rather than copper. If copper was my only concern, I would...
I would definitely go with a cannister filter (or two, for a tank that big, depending on your bioload). Both the fluvals and the renas are good....
Nice looking set-up, Ivy. Keep the pics coming as the tank develops.
Awesome story! I started using a filter sock over my water hose leading from the DT to the sump. That way any debris/snails, etc that comes down...
Throw in a potato. Oh wait, that's for soup that's too salty. Are you supplementing with calcium? If so, the obvious solution is to do a...
Open. But I do get lots of humidity and evaporation - have to look in to a dehumidifier for my living room. Oh, and no firefish or other jumping...
You could try using some Seachem Purigen, either in a bag, or better yet in a phosban reactor. Others, including myself, have had success...
+1 on above. Move the fish into a hospital tank and treat with copper for 3 weeks. Then keep them in the hospital tank for another 5 weeks without...
Sorry to dissent, but looks more like hammer to me than frogspawn or torch....but I do agree that the bigger it gets, the easier it will be to tell...
In fact, most people will tell you that it is preferable to cycle without a light or skimmer. So no problem - go ahead. But you will definitely...
Do you have a protein skimmer? And are you running carbon? It might be possible that you have some sort of chemical or waste in your tank that is...
Unfortunately, you will get many opinions on this topic, as I did when I was having a similar problem. My own experience was that I was keeping the...
