    small green bubbles

    Some people say emeralds bother corals, but if you read through the forums you can find someone saying every animal we keep bother corals. I have 4 in a 30g tank and everything is healthy for the most part.

    Sick French Anglefish

    The Seachem stumped both me and my gf with the instructions in different spots. I had a problem with another one of their other test kits and talked about it in another forum. A guy that works at SeaChem says he was trying to get them to change the instructions, but I think they produced the...

    Sick French Anglefish

    I really don't like these test kits. I tried to check the levels of copper after adding just the half dosage and it was just about impossible to see any color change. I added 2.75mL to start and then added another 2.5 tonight. (According to the package I am supposed to add 1mL for every 10.5g...

    Starting copper tomorrow, stress of the move was enough and it is too late at night.

    Sick French Anglefish

    The power head I am using would probably put in as much flow as an HOB filter. It's the smallest in the series and really wouldn't be enough flow for a reef or even a FO only tank typically. I will turn it down though to the lowest setting. It's already in the tank now. Appreciate the comments.

    Sick French Anglefish

    Well I wrote e-mails to try to find out how come the copper had not arrived yet, I still haven't received an e-mail with a tracking number, and I couldn't wait any longer as the angelfish has stopped eating. I drove 45 minutes north to That Pet Place/That Fish Place and picked up everything I...

    Computer Battery Back up for Reef?

    Not the best bang for my buck, because I don't have that many bucks, lol. Sin wave, square wave, what if I used a circular wave? I know this is the advanced forum, but a little more info would be useful. (right over ny head) How do I know what type of wave it is and why is it important. I...

    Computer Battery Back up for Reef?

    What do you guys think about this computer battery back up? Could probably hook it up to a circulation pump and a couple heaters and have the tanks run for a while through a snow/ice storm. Plus it will be on sale for only $30 the next two days at Staples. Check it out here. I'm working on...

    xenia are all dying

    If it helps I grow tons of xenia in a 30g tank under T5 bulbs that needed to be replaced a while ago. What I thought you might be interested in is that the tank they are growing most would consider VERY slow flow. For months now, besides the trickle(literally) of flow coming in from the sump...

    Sick French Anglefish

    Update the copper didn't come in and the fish is not looking any better. I'll be going home for thanksgiving, hopefully fedex will show up with my package on Friday, so I can start the copper treatment that night. I thought the package would come right away and it's real disapointing I will...

    Sick French Anglefish

    I swore I posted this a couple days ago, but: I was looking into a 250g for the French, but the person I was going to get it from decided to trash it because they wanted it out of there house. I have a 20g with a crack up the side that I can't justify throwing away and this guy trashes a...

    Sick French Anglefish

    :-( Keep my French in a 20 for two months? He'll spike the tank the first time he takes a dump.... I am not sure how I am going to do this. I suppose all I can do is to see if they can all handle the copper treatment. The purple tang is also starting to show some spots. I am not sure if...

    Sick French Anglefish

    :-( copper it is then. I'll read on it right now, hypo for the rest of them? This is going to get complicated as I don't have a lot of large tanks, especialy ones that I want to use copper in and declare the tanks no longer suitable for reef. Crap.

    Marine Ich - Myths and Facts

    Not sure if this is even going to let me post questions here, but: "13. If the MI can't always be detected, then why bother with a quarantine procedure? In the confines of a small quarantine and being there for no less than 6 weeks, the MI parasite will make itself known because the fish is...

    Would adding stressed coat help a little bit or is this not recommended beause I obviously need to do the hypo treatment at some point. Jon

    Sick French Anglefish

    Ok, I read in one of the stickys that ick does like the gills. The fish is in bad shape, though I have not been home all day due to classes and meetings, I've talked to my gf several times. I know it may stress the fish a bit more, but would I perhaps be able to do a fresh water dip to help...

    Sick French Anglefish

    We are really worried about the French Angelfish, he is surface breaching more and more. It is definitely not a swim bladder problem, it's him trying to get more oxygen. All the animals right now are in a 55g tank with a power head, heater, and air bubbler. I may start the lower the salinity...

    Sick French Anglefish

    As before the tank they were in hardly had any biological growth in it at all. I will probably wait the 8 weeks regardless, but I think as extra assurance I am going to either wash the sand with fresh water or go as far to pour boiling fresh water on top of it. The rock that was in the tank is...

    Sick French Anglefish

    The spots are back and Frenchy is having a horrible time breathing, he even seems to be surface breaching a bit. I changed a large amount of water today and tried to hook up a skimmer, but it's not working. I am hoping I can get a new pH probe and start the hypo in time. Moral of the story...

    Sick French Anglefish

    Well the summer was rough and it was difficult to get to my grandparents often enough to do a true hypo treatment. I also didn't worry over it too much because the spots went away and he seemed to be normal. A couple weeks ago I moved Frenchy and all of his buddies to a new 75g AGA megaflow...
