Always QT fish, but not the CUC (like others have mentioned). I haven't seen Ich in any of my DTs, or any other disease, in the last 15 years.
Here, read this: How To Treat an Aquarium with Hyposalinity - Rearing a saltwater aquarium with hyposalinity You need to lower the SG quickly, not...
Because it's a quarantine tank and not a display tank. Typical cycle can take anywhere from 4-12 weeks to occur. Typical quarantine time is 4-6...
You can't mix two part in your top off water, as the two parts will precipitate out of solution as Calcium Carbonate. You can add one or the other to...
I didn't notice any issues with my tank only because I brought the pH back down as soon as I noticed the rise to 8.8. Yes, I did have to continually...
I had the same issue when I used to dose Kalk in my top off water. I ended up having to use 30ml of distilled white vinegar per gallon of water to...
Holy overstock! 2 Clowns, 2 Firefish, 1 Flame Angel, and 2 Gobies would be more than enough in a 55. The others are just too much.
Majano anemone maybe? I haven't added anything to my tank in almost a year, and tonight I just found an anemone of some sort. So, they can go along...
If you truly are using the foam filter, than remove it as that is the cause of your problems. I don't think there is any way a PF-800 can't handle...

+1. HOB filter is a better choice. I use carbon and GFO in my Whisper 40 HOB filter on a 20g tank. Works like a charm, and is low maintenance.
I also think the 750s would be the better choice, even in a 3 ft tank. I have 2 K1s (400gph each) in a 20g tall (2ft long) and it is not even...
Raising salinity quickly is more stressful than lowering it quickly, so: Just do your top offs with salt water instead of fresh water. Could take a...
I have to agree, especially if you put in ATI, Giesemann, or UVL bulbs. If not those brand of bulbs, then you may have to play with placement of...
I went to Maho (St. John) for a week and did a LOT of snorkeling. I usually prefer diving (which we did), but the snorkeling was incredible. Kept me...
Hmmmmmmm, I have just over 1000gph in my 20g tall and wouldn't be against having some more flow. And that is with a LOT of Zoas and GSP. I think...
