welcome to A.A..... :smilecolros: :wave: :smilecolros:

Welcome to Aquarium Advice. It was sort of a blessing your other site broke down, now you found the best. :mrgreen:

Ok well it's done and worked pretty good. I'm going to stay away from it in the future. thanks :wink:

Ok I see what your saying. I learned quick about leaving the lights on I try to shut them off for 10-12 hours daily. I didn't really think cleaning the ornaments would effect the beneficial bacteria but I was curious what you all would say. What do you all think about the tabs that you drop...

Can you take it out and clean it off?? Will this effect the beneficial bacteria?

I treated a little over 2 weeks with the temp at around 85.5. I understand you don't have to see it but how else would you know it is present?

Actually I haven't been adding it after the ICK treatment. Since everybody seems to think it's not neccesary I wont add anymore. Unless I see ick present I wont use it anymore. Thanks :king:

Thanks....I thought it helped the fish's stress level, gill funtion and other things. What does adding electrolytes do for the fish? The brand I got was Doc Wellfish's Aquarium salt for freshwater fish. It say the salt never evaporates and is not filtered out. What's the difference from the...

How often should I add salt into a freshwater tank? I know it doesn't really disolve so does it continue to work??

Yeah you could cool off but you'd be getting in there with the shark.. 8O It's not like you'd have a tank to transfer him.

That 1700 shark tank was incredible. Makes me feel like I could at least do this 300 gallon..l :D

Yeah I pm'd him and this is what he said. Question Tiger - great post, finished tank looks really good, one of the better ones i have seen, its hard to even tell its a plywood tank from the pic. however i have seen write ups from people that just use a Marine boat sealer, to seal the wood...

Yeah maybe it could be built without the fiberglass. The link I gave leads to the guy that builds and sells these. He's very friendly and open to questions. If you were seriously thinking of building one he'd offer advice. The 300 gallon he's selling is loaded with equipment.
