Hello everyone, I was wondering if there is a shelf life (I guess you could call it) on the salt water I make for my water changes? I usually make the water a week before and adjust as needed but has anyone stored their salt water for longer periods of time? I use rubber made tubs to store the...

Thanks for your help

I am finally putting my Atlantic Blue Tang back into my Main. I used erythromycin and copper to treat the fish for the last two months. Should I clean out the QT? Change the Carbon or clean the one PVC Piping in there? Total water change? Any info would help. Thank you

Thanks for the advice, I went to the website and they say that mixing Erythromycin with any copper med is safe. thanks again for the help

Gratz on the good deal, and the little extra you threw them was nice as well

Thank you all for your advice, I went to the hardware store today and purchased a Mason Jar for a US dollar. It is working well, it is air tight and it is containing the smell. Hope this helps. Good luck with the server move this website rocks

I have my Atlantic Blue Tang in my QT for a week. I am treating it with copper for white spots/ich. I am noticing that my fish seems to be getting a bacterial infection, which I believe came from the wounds she received while scratching. (they were bad, she was bleeding from it) Am I able to...

I use the Maxi Jet 1200, it mounts to the inside of the tank with 3 suction cups. It is also fully submersible so you could adjust it to the height you want inside the tank. I like it best because it is silent, I don't even know it is on. Just be sure to put a sponge filter over the intake to...

I do not know if the algae beginning to grow on this rock in my tank is good or bad? Any information is appreciated. Thanks

I appreciate the help, I am trying to trap it in a glass so I can QT it and photo it for ID. Thanks again

Thanks Fluff, Is it a threat to my tank?

Thanks I got it to work. I put the picks in a new subject titled "what is this in my live rock?" Thank you all for your help
