so 10 gallons every two weeks should take care of it?

it is a 55 gallon

i really don't get that much evaporation. made add a 1/2 gallon per week.

do you think it would be better to do a 5 gallon water change every week or a 10 gallon change every two weeks?

thanks for the tip!!!!! i'm takeing the fish to another LFS today. they are alot better of a store the only problem is that they are 1 1/2 hours away. do you think this will be too much stress for the fish?

i have been treating with e.m and it hasn't gotten any better (worse if anything) it has been four days. as for the white spot. you can still see the black spot but now it has tripled in size and is just hanging onto the fin. it actually sticks up off of the fin and the fish seems to try to...

i was going to start dripping kalk this weekend and had a few questions. In a 55 gallon system what should be the drip rate? should i drip it 24/7? i really don't get that much evaporation maybe a 1/2 -1 gallon per week is that going to be a problem with dripping? also insted of kalk i was...

the tang is still alive, but things have changed today!!! the black spot is no longer black!!! I has changed to a fuzzy white spot, and aalmost doubled in size. as for the spots by his tail, they are gone, but he has developoed what apperers to be a large pale spot on the side of his body...

It is a scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp. he has set up a spot, but it is in the back of the tank between two rocks, but the fish can't get to him and you never even seen him unless you stick your head behind the tank(very tight fit :) ) he has not moved from that spot since he was put in the...

the has not come out of the rocks since i put him in on saturday. is this normal or is he still adjusting to the tank?

i have a 55 gallon tank and just got a cleaner shrimp this weekend. Do you think 1 shrimp will be enough for the tank or should i get another? Also do i have to feed the shrimp or is he a scavanger? and is so what do i feed him?

i do not have a camera to get a pic. sorry. so you would treat it with copper and not a FW bath. there is only one black spot on the front fin. and the others are not spots as much as the are a discolored patch. the patches are very hard to see and you have to look very close to even see...

i tried the FW dip for about 20 seconds and the fish stopped moving and floated to the top so i took him out. is this normal and should i just let it go or did i do something wrong?

so just put him in a tank with pure FW for 5 min. do you have any idea what this is? do i have to have any worries about it spreading to the other fish in the main tank? after the FW did how long should i kept him in the hospital tank? Thanks for the help!!! :D
