Please give us your tank details and water parameters. Once we have this info we can help you better. For example, we need to know the following:...
I wonder if it's possible anyone used some soap or chemical on your bucket? I find it unlikely that the calcium you've been dosing your tank with...
Yeah, a combination of dust, detritus, and other crap that builds up on rocks. Every once in a while just take a turkey baster and blow the build-up...
Big YES. You do need to cycle. First of all, in a 2 gallon tank bad chemicals like ammonia and nitrites can build up very quickly (since they don't...
I have not heard this. Not sure why it should be so. The purpose of the vodka is to provide food for bacterial growth. So I don't know why the...
update Ok, an update. I've been dosing vodka on my 90g for about 3 weeks, increasing the dose gradually as prescribed by all the research I've...
1 diamond goby - jumped 1 longnose hawkfish - jumped 3 flame angels - parasites/ich The flame angel losses were the worst, and I was determined to...
In fact, better mandarin food. Tiggerpods swim in the water column, while other types of pods crawl on the substrate and glass. Mandarins like to...

The combo of metronidazole and focus is what you want if you suspect an internal infection or parasite. Between the two of them, it will cover the...
+1. Use a ready-made glass aquarium for a sump for simplicity. I used a 30 gallon long, and siliconed some acrylic sheets to make baffles....
One further suggestion if you are at all worried about an internal parasite. Seachem makes a product called Focus. It is a powder that can be added...
Have you tried hanging a sheet of dried nori on the side of your tank to let him graze during the day? It works better than feeding large meals -...
Your fish list looks mostly ok, but I'd skip the tang in a 55g. Even though you buy it as a baby, it will outgrow your tank. Maybe consider a nice...
Just keep an eye on him. Remember that the life cycle of the parasite (keeping it simple) is to live for a few days on the fish, then to drop to the...
Minimum 30 minutes per day, between cleaning, feeding, dosing, watching, re-arranging fallen frags, looking for pods (a game I like to play is just...
4 months - kenya tree, green hairy mushrooms. They started me down a slippery slope
