I have 2 inches of live sand and vac once a month. My clean up crew up to this point is only assorted snails and an emerald crab (that I haven't...
Well, it must be cycling because I have readings of: ammonia - .5 nitrites - 0 PH - 8.2 I'm assuming when ammonia and nitrites reach 0, I can test...
Hippo tangs are known for getting ich. I had one and it eventually got it. A FW dip might stress it out more, but then again, do you want an ich...
Some nice stuff there! Tripod helps alot when shooting at slower shutter speeds.
Thanks--I have my tank pretty much set up this exact way. A 14g bare bottom with some PVC pipes and clay pots for cover. A sponge filter, heater,...
Thanks--good idea; I added some freeze dried mysis shrimp!
How can I get my QT cycled without using anything from my DT? My DT may have parasites in it so I do not want to use anything from it. Thanks.
OK--thanks. I'm a little confused. I've read that using a sponge filter is the best, but I read nothing about water flow in a QT. I thought SW...
Right now I'm thinking of only observing unless I see something that needs attention. What exactly do you mean by fallow?
I read on another forum from a guy whose kept SW tanks for 35 years, and he quarantines for 6 weeks.
Does it matter that I'm not putting DT fish in it? It would be set up only when I purchase a new fish. I would keep him in the QT for a month before...
Since my last three fish have all been flushed down the toilet I would like to set up a small 10g QT tank and need advice on what do include in it....
Well, when I timed his breathing about 30 minutes ago, he was taking 100 breaths per minute.
That's OK. I guess I have to decide tonight if I should just net him and give him the burial at sea or wait until tomorrow morning and get him when...
Thanks--I kind of figured that. When I saw the scratching I knew something was up. Do you think a freshwater dip is even worth it at this point?
Great read! Will bookmark for sure and solves the mystery about temperature. I think the only thing that can save my royal gramma might be a...
As long as my scooter blenny and snails are in there, I could lower the temperature? What would be acceptable to the scooter and snails? 72...
Is there anything that can speed that process up?
My tank is slowly being wiped out and I think it may have started with a butterfly who refused to eat and came down with a type of ich. The next day...
I'm mainly doing it for the filtration, so in that case, I guess I'd want the more "dirty" DT water. Restricting the overflow seems dangerous. I'd...
