I'm glad you asked this question. I'd like to know the answer too!

So it sounds like we were catching babies. How about this guy? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Can anyone ID this little guy? My 10 year old had the best time catching these little fish with a tiny bite of shrimp on a line tied to his fingers in knee deep water. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I'm not worried about the tank itself. I'm wondering if there were any trace amounts that could have been in the silicone and now in the power head and live rock

I have a 75 with a wet dry sump so no more than 10 g there. I do a 30 gallon change every other week because that's what fits in my Brute. Nitrates always at or around 10 before the water change.

Bad news: another round of ich! Good news: I've had a sponge filter down in my sump for about 2 months so setting up the hospital tank was fairly easy. I set it up with the air tubing and put in a 20 gallon tank. Filled about half with water from my main tank and the rest with fresh RODI...

What types of food do y'all like to feed? I see people refer to "good" food to help keep immune system strong, but what exactly constitutes good food? Should I be feeding a variety or is it ok to stick with one thing? I've been feeding super color flakes exclusively. Every other day or so...

Yes. I use filter floss. Change it about every 2-3 water changes.

Hahaha! I'm glad I could finally help with something!

Someone recommended filter socks to me too. Advised to get several so a clean one is always on hand while other is in the laundry. Drip plate sure is easy though....

I think so, Tate. Maybe we can get them converted to something better!

Just did it again for me. Seems to happen whenever I do a water change. I guess it just takes it some time to get going right again. I saw in your other thread that you are thinking of converting your wet dry system. I'm going to do the same thing. Mr X is explaining how to do it in my "do I...

Never too young to learn good tank maintenance!

Do I use silicone to attach/seal the partition if it is acrylic? What is drying time? And can my DT go that long with the circulation turned off?
