If you choose to add to your system later on you can always start running it again, and I would run it for 4 months or so after you are finished...
well if you aren't gonna introduce anything new to your tank, than how can you inadvertently add ich or something harmful? So I see no need to keep...
I'll have to do some digging on that for you steve, the specifics are escaping me, but yes they can build up if using the copper sulphate, but the...
There are actually two types of copper you can run, copper sulphate and and ionic copper. The later is much more expensive, but IMO is the way to go....
If you don't feed live foods and are done adding new fish you can stop your copper treating, just to save the money. If you don't plan on adding any...
An hour isn't very long, just hold tight, I'm sure he'll show up. I had a Scooter blenny disappear for 3 days, even moved rocks around couldn't find...
Yeah I know lots of people that do, I am debating running it on an upcoming predator tank. Expensive, but piece of mind when feeding live feeder fish.

Thanks anpgp, I have been searching to find out how many, lol, I couldn't remember for the life of me.
They have a different number of dorsal spines, nearly impossible to get a long enough look at em to count em lol. That's the only sure way that I...
I was researching it the other day and many people have successfully bred mandarins in captivity, first documented in 1975
Both would be great options, SWC however in made in North America. I personally would choose SWC over BM for that reason. Times are hard enough...
I would also suggest a SWC, don't have one myself but that's what I'll be using on an upcoming predator tank.
here, mayo is reffered to as hellman's (it's the major brand, and I think we only call it that so the significant other doesn't come home with some...
Divott I agree, Hellmans all the way although if need be I will accept mw if mayo is not available.
