    Garlic Gaurd

    OK I put cuprisorb in a high flow area in my sump 72 hours ago and it is the same color. It still looks brand new, does this mean I have no copper or do I need to leave it in longer. Thanks

    Garlic Gaurd

    I think I'm going to try and run some cuprisorb and see what happens. I'll post here if anything happens, I should have time on Monday to go wild side pets and get the cuprisorb. Thanks for all the help and info.

    Garlic Gaurd

    The tank is Acrylic. Is there anyway to test for copper to make 90% sure that is the problem? I have been wondering if copper is the problem.

    Garlic Gaurd

    Yes it was a used tank, but I have tested for copper 3 different times and each time the test reads no copper.

    Garlic Gaurd

    If too much garlic gaurd is used in a tank will it kill everything? I have a 8.5 fl oz bottle and son accidently put about 7.5 fl oz in the tank. This tank has been set up for about 6 months and every time I put snails or hermit crabs in it they die. there is no living aminal in the tank now...

    Snails keep dieing

    I tested for copper to elimate it. After reading these forums I tried to elimate everything and gather all the info I could.

    Snails keep dieing

    I will bring up the salinity and amonia down ( I know I want 0 ammonia, but I thought .5 wasn't high enough to kill stuff.), and I'm seeing the snails die.

    Snails keep dieing

    I have had this 75 gal setup for about 45 days. I used live rock and new dry sand and about 35 gals of used water from my 55 gal and the rest of the water is ro/di. I tried putting in snails several time over the last 2 weeks and they all die, 2 days ago I put in 5 snails 5 hermit crabs and a...

    Nitrates/TDS

    When I bought and hooked up my RO/DI it was zero. But I neglected my system and haven't changed the filters in a couple of years.

    Nitrates/TDS

    I tested nitrite at the smae time and it was 0ppm. I will rerun the test in a couple of hours. I was going to do a water change tomorrow I was thinking of about 25 gals, is that good?

    Nitrates/TDS

    Yea I'm over due for changing my filters, I just got done emailing for a price quote for all the filters. The test kits I'm using are Aquarium Pharmaceuticals. The salt I'm using is instant ocean but I have maybe 10 gals worth left and I'm going to change brands, not sure which brand I'm going...

    75 Build

    Torn down my 55 and upgraded to a 75. The 55 only had 2 clowns and a engineer goby, which are now being stored in a 10 gal tank. A little bad news the goby decided the grass was greener on the other side and jumped out of the tank to check it out, so this morning when I got home from work I...
