    Possible white spot

    WHAT?? Bringing UP the salinity(HYPERSALINITY) will NOT kill ich. HYPOSALINITY is bringing the SG down to 1.009 and keeping it there for 4 weeks..And yes, this does work . It is PROVEN. Ich has been researched and studied and its life cycle ,as well as its treatments, have been proven and...

    Possible white spot

    idgy..I would not be concerned about one spot. Just keep an eye on your fish. In the mean time the best thing for you to do would be to read up on the subject..There are only 3 proven methods that cure ich and thats Copper, Hypo and the transfer method. You would know that by reading the link I...

    The fate of Grumpy????

    My Candy Hogfish jumped out of my old 125 about 7 times! The last time he jumped he must have been out for awhile, I couldn't tell if he was breathing or not..But I put him in the tank, he found a hiding space in the rocks and the next day was out and about!! He is in my 240 now, its covered!;)...

    is my qt ready??

    I'd wait till you get a larger tank if you plan on upgrading..:) Oh BTW...What PH product did you buy? PH Stablizer sounds like a freshwater product? I used Kent Supperbuffer during Hypo

    is my qt ready??

    IMO..Your tank isn't big enough to house these two fish. I really wouldn't trust a grown Clown Trigger with any other fish, they are known to grow up and terrorize , even kill their tankmates.

    is my qt ready??

    I wouldn't get anymore new fish till you've got your existing fish healthy and back in the display. Don't get in a hurry;)

    qt tank???

    Ick will keep reproducing and attacking the fish. This weakens the fish and can eventually kill them. Its not always a fast death, like Velvet, but imagine the torture of these little parasites feeding and itching on your skin and eventually killing you:eek: Secondary bacterial infections can...

    qt tank???

    Most everybody goes through this, believe me! Just remember once you get your fish healthy and back in your main, quarentine your new Clown Trigger for at least 4 weeks before putting him in the main..Then all should be good and I won't have to nag at you:D Water changes are the best way to...

    aggressive tank plans.......

    A Clown Trigger will grow too large for a 125, and most likely grow up and kill his tankmates:eek: Not a nice fish! As stated above, Triggers and Lions are NOT good tankmates. Choose one .. IMO, A large Angelfish needs a bigger tank as well.. You have some VERY large fish on your list and...

    Opinions on Raccoon Butterflyfish?

    Love my Raccoon, best personality of all my fish..He eats right out of my hand!...But I didn't get mine for pest control, and mine is in A FOWLR. I agree with LEEBCA.. don't get a Raccoon, or any fish, just for pest control..a Raccoon will most likely destroy your polyps and clam as well as the...

    HELP!!! Problems with my new True Perculas

    Good idea to to do a water change. How often are you doing them? I do them often in qt, sometimes everyday but I'm a little anal:D Even though I keep the bioballs in my sump months before, I just don't trust them to keep water paremeters stable. You may watch for secondary infections or maybe...

    HELP!!! Problems with my new True Perculas

    Comment by 'BTTRFLYGRL' in media 'MAJESTIC'

    This fish was close to dead when I brought him home from work..He had been kept in a tank treated with copper so I was not sure if I was dealing with Flukes or a Vibro . I lowered SG to 1.014 and treated him with first with Furan-2 and next with Prazipro. The Furan-2 really helped him as his...
