My curve 5 works wonders on my 90 gallon. I don't see it struggling at all in a 110.

Thanks for the help but she didn't make it through the treatment. I might have waited too long.

Would treatment I'm qt with melafix (or similar) be a good idea. Or would that stress her more?

The article I read claimed that they are consuming something we don't/can't test for and they starve themselves out after two months, water changes will sustain them. It seems to match what I have noticed, a day after a water change they are stronger than ever. They seem to be receding...

Thanks, I am kind of in a pickle. It seems I need my parameters to rise to kill the dinos but in doing so the rest of my tank may suffer.

I suppose I should mention I am currently battling dinoflagellates. I have been 1 month without a water change and am planning 1 more. I found somewhere that they will starve themselves out after 2 months and it makes sense because the go crazy after a water change. That being said my...

Also, she has pop eye on both eyes.

My black clown has a brown patch on his front white bar, any idea what this could be and how to treat it. All other fish are healthy and there have been no new fish additions. My last fish was added over 6 months ago, I added an urchin 1 month ago and a shrimp 2 months ago. Please help.

I just finished my 2 part dosing system and ATO. It is very nice to not have to dose every morning and pour a half a gallon of top off water in. It makes my parameters much more stable and easier to maintain. I set the whole thing up for ~$50 plus some supplies I already had, not too bad...

I'm sorry for your loss. Have you looked into the 1/4" clear mesh screen cover from bulk reef supply. I have been using it for a year and am very pleased. My Midas blenny has bounced off of it a few times that I have seen and been perfectly fine. Light penetrates it better than egg crate and...

Thanks, it will be a while before I get to upgrade the lighting for my condy. I will be adding some sexy shrimp soon though.

I got the sand and rock added today and I am pretty pleased. Now I just need to find some sexy shrimp.

I have been waiting to get this tank up and running for over a year now and I finally have water in it. The plumbing was a success. I have my gfo reactor return feeding it with water and a return line into the sump of my 90 gal. I am planning on doing a group of sexy shrimp and have plans for a...

I feed my saddle puffer with mostly krill, I rotate in some fresh clam and shrimp in the shell that I get from the grocery store. I cut the shrimp and freeze them to kill anything unwanted. I crush the clam after I freeze it and feed pieces of that. I have not noticed any excess growth of his...

Just a thought, I'm not sure if it will work for your house or not but you could do a corner tank with the 3 pains of glass. The main in the front, the 2 small off too the sides and the back 2 in the corner would be ply wood. You could get a much larger tank doing it that way and most of the...
