Here is a link to a picture log/step by step procedure I made to fragging star polyps. It should help:...
Don bother with the CC method. Takes to long and is a PITA, at least IMHO. Just superglue the mat of the polyps back down on the rock. Super Glue Gel...
Why would you medicate fish for ich if they did not have it? What are your params? How did you acclimate them? Medicating for ich, specially on a...
+1. Its probably the easiest way.
Normal. Also, the calcium doesn't dictate so much the molting. Its iodine. Which is replinished every water change ;)
That would be an awesome skimmer. But, it will only work if you have a sump
OK. Here's a few things: What cycling method did you use? At 26 days you should maybe be starting to add your first fish, maybe even not be done with...
Well, the nitrates, alk, and phosphates are all a little high. What type of water are you using? And I noticed you said you are new to the hobby? How...
For now, I would just try to manually remove it. It will come up in sheets and is pretty easy to just pick out. Cutting the lights won't necessarily...
It could have. There are a number of things that could cause it. Regardless, I would pick up a good set of liquid tests for your own personal use...
I second that. I've seen mine sleep upside, sleep vertically, naps in the middle of the day on the sand making you think it's dead ;) Tons of...
Yeah, Ive lost a whole tank too. Not fun. I'm not going to be getting anything more for a while. At least not till I get my sump/fuge up and running....
Thanks guys. And yeah, I was VERY attached to the little guy. He was one I had for a while too. I believe he was the first fish I added after my...
I do occasionally. Just finished "Outsourced" by R J Hillhouse. Very good read, and one that I'm sure you would enjoy Mission
What does your LFS use to test? I almost guarantee that the nitrates are a false reading for a few reason's. First and foremost, your using strips....
Can you give us a little more info? Age and size of tank? water params? what are you feeding?
Well, today I got to come home to shear chaos. I couldn't find my blenny. Looked all over. Then this story ran through my mind:...
I always had trouble with the traps. What I did was purposely overfed, then went lights out. Leave just enough light for you to see what your doing....
How much are you feeding? Bristle worms live off detritus and left over food. The population will only sustain itself according to the amount of...
I disagree. When cycling, you should only use one fish, and chromis don't do well and often die when kept singularly. Also, chromis are a damselfish,...
