    Thanks :) I'll try to get some update pictures on here soon. I've been pretty busy lately! I have coral and inverts in the tank and everything is doing great so far, hopefully my stuff will be here tomorrow to hook up the Ca reactor this weekend, worst case scenario it will be next week.

    Pics of my new tank

    Well... That sucks. Hope it isn't too bad. Try using an acclimation box next time... You can make a large one out of egg crate and zip ties. Toss some PVC in there to help them feel comfortable. Make sure the lights stay off too...

    What do you feed your fish?

    Well, the majority of my ingredients were packaged as fish food from Drs. Foster and Smith online, and I ordered bulk quantities. The scallops and clams were grocery store products.

    What do you feed your fish?

    I intended to add Nutramar Ova to my mix as well - but the source of my ingredients was out of stock when I went to place my order :( Maybe next time!

    Does garlic xtreme really work ?

    Cupramine. Keep in mind copper dosed water will often read false ammonia levels. Seachem has an ammonia alert badge that is supposed to be compatible.

    Does garlic xtreme really work ?

    Thanks for posting that again NC2WA. Idgy, there are a ton of basic smalli tanks on Craigslist if you need to find something cheap in a hurry. Petco has that dollar a gallon sale from time to time too. Keep us posted!

    Does garlic xtreme really work ?

    It doesn't, which is why you need to constantly monitor your ammonia levels.

    Does garlic xtreme really work ?

    Garlic DOES NOT work, so don't perpetuate misinformation by saying it does. Quarantines are a small investment and well worth it.

    Does garlic xtreme really work ?

    All of your inverts can be left in the display tank - they won't survive medication and marine Ich only targets fish. This is a mistake we've all made, some sooner than others. A quarantine tank can be very basic (and cheap!). Depending on how many fish you have and what type, you could get...

    Does garlic xtreme really work ?

    Good info from NanaReefer - I think the main reason garlic is confused with being a direct "cure" is because it triggers a feeding response in fish, and that extra food is going to strengthen the immune system. Sometimes a fish will stop displaying symptoms altogether, but the important fact of...

    Thanks! I'm going to let it run for a couple weeks, then I'm going to transfer my rock and coral over. It will be 8 weeks after that before this tank sees fish, I'm going to be running everyone through a preventative quarantine just because I can. It will give the tank time to stabilize too.

    Heh... Yeah I guess it could be worse. I'm pretty happy with how it's coming out, I wish I could take pictures that represent how it really looks.
