Whats up guys

It's my first time being a part of a forum site like this.
To be honest, I'm glad to finally get involved in a hobby forum.
So hello to all, and happy reefing ;]

 

welcome to the 3reef
Do you have a tank at the moment?
If so we would love to see some pics

glad to have you aboard

 

Welcome aboard Mateob333. Yes........its true, we over pics.........hint;D

 

Thank you. I am currently trying to work out some kinks with a 75 AllGlass standard aquarium. I used to have it set up almost 8 years ago (also reef)but had to break it down.
I am starting anew with an old beloved hobby, However, I have changed methods since, and am facing a few problems.

system specs:

120-130 lb LR,

4 powerheads(1 osculating, two maxjet 900 and 1tunzie fan),

Via aqua 750 canister filter,

neptune heater,

Compact lighting with 2 metal halides and 4 actinics(outputs about 10w/gallon)


and about 2 1/2 inches of live sand.

 

Pics R Coming ;D

 

Hey! Welcome to 3reef!

 

What are the problems that you are talking about? I personaly dont like canister filters but If it works for you,more power to ya.

 

Hello and welcome to 3reef!
Best of luck to you and your continuation of the wonderful, enjoyable and entertaining undersea world we call the best hobby under the sun and water of course!

 

Ya, canisters are a bit of a hassle, but I like them cuz i can use them as power heads also hehehe. I luva da powaheadz.


Ok, heres the deal, i might have one of those "cute little anemones"....
but im not sure on its id.

then i have a huge glass anemone infestation.

AND I HAVE ICH! lol.

i have quarantined all fish that i can catch(i couldnt catch the elec blue or Sgt major, or the engineer goby =[

i have resorted to just bumping up the temp and waiting for it to run its course with the damsels =[[[[

the ich has claimed many, including but not limited too(haha)
: 1 lavender tang, flame angel, foxface, two maroon clowns, 4 chromis, 5 bangai cardinals.

it was the fastest i had ever witness ich kill fish

the ich hitchhiked into the tank via flame angel apparently.
I have suffered a terrible loss, i would have quarantined the angel sooner if my 45 was setup sooner. i tried to buy time with kick ich but didnt notice any difference at all even after 4 treatments.

im using mardel coppersafe in my quarantine and it seems to be doing the job.

So, i was wondering, in my old set up, i had a UV light running about 4-5 hours a day and never saw ich once in my tank. the first time i dont use one, and i get totally wiped out of my beloved fish
Help?
