Thanks guys! Had it not been from trial and error years ago, I would not have caught this. I think we have all been there from one time to another..unfortunately.

i acclimated it with the drip method over a period of one hour.

Did you ever say how long you have had the fish?

Salttanker · 01-21-2005, 05:09 PM

I hope that resolves your issue. If anything, it will be a big help. Just get a couple of power heads and point them towards the front, and have them high enough where it will ripple the water as well. Good luck

i was walking around the fishtore and i thought why not, lets go all out so i got a wet/dry filter system. it cost me 300 dollars but hopefully in the long run it will all be worth it.

Salttanker · 01-21-2005, 08:01 PM

Sounds great! One thing to keep in mind. The bioballs accumulate nitrates, which may be a factor later. I'm not trying to discourage you, but I figured I would share what many already know about the wet/dry setup.
Wet/dry does have its advantage though. After research on this site, Lando pointed out that you can use reef rubble in place of the bio balls for a more natural filtration (fully submerged). I found some online from Walt Smith 40lbs. for $39.00.
The choice is yours, but I wanted to give you a heads up just in case.
What size wet/dry did you get?

Mike

Mike, you got a link for that rubble. I removed my bioballs months ago and now have an empty space in my sump I would like to utilize.
Thanks

Sure thing QS - Here is the link. I got this exact item off of Ebay for $39.00, but this is their store front. Check them out on Ebay for better pricing. Really nice bio rubble! If I can get around to it, I'll take some pics and send them. It's hard to see it in the sump though, but at least you'll have an idea.
