Does anyone have one of these fish, If so how difficult are they? And if you could give me some insight on how they do now in the home aquarium as of this era, because everything I've been reading on them is old stuff.

OK, Thanks for the info.

I posted this in the new members section by accident so I need advice. I bought a rock beauty angelfish from my lfs(the guy that owns the store is really cool l've known him for about 5 years now) and I'm wanting to know how long should I keep this fish in quarantine? I read on a website that...

I was wanting to know how long should I keep my rock beauty angelfish in quarantine, She's been in there since Tuesday and is doing well so far, She eats everything (rods frozen entries , Omega one pellets w/garlic, Nls algae max pellets, omega one flakes, and of course brine and mysis shrimp.)...

My other fish are doing fine they've been in there the longest without ick spots.Thats my tang and 2 domino damels.

My fish icked out from a faulty heater and the only one that did was my angelfish my trigger got a freshwater dip because I just bought him day before yesterday.

Man I ain't trying to have a battle of who's knowledge is greater about ick, but answer this how can ick be free floating in a tank that's new and the fish only been in there for two weeks?

My bad did know his ph was already high, yea you just need to do regular water changes and you should be alright.

I use Reef Crystals

I know that's why I test my water daily, or I take it to my friend who's a marine biologist and he'll run test for me.Thats only when my test kits run out. Lol.

I know that it will be in my system but I'm not worried about, when you have depleted water conditions that will bring stress in your tank will cause fish to become sick due to a ammune system malfunction, that's why I said my water is pristine. My fish are happy and they eat well. I have a...

One thing about me is that I don't sell myself on products, If they work I'll tell you it works, if it don't I'll tell you it don't.

It won't raise it by much if used right, my power head is pointed toward the surface and my ph dropped and alkalinity did to, the fluval put everything dead on and made my water crystal clear.

I have medicines for parasites if everything else fails. Kordon ick attack. Got it from Pet store for 15.99, it works but you'll have to dose the QT tank for 3 weeks or more.

No, you don't have to break the whole system down if you catch it early. ick has to fall off of the host and be in the free floating stage to infest a tank. When I see one or two spots it's time to remove the fish.Plus my system is pristine, So I'm not worried about it coming back.

There could be contamination, Can never be sure but you can always be safe.No I don't use carbon, I'm running 2 penguin bio filters,a protein skimmer, a powerhead, and a 150 watt heater. Fluval makes this stuff called fluval sea alkalinity raises Ph to where it's supposed to be and maintains it.

No its 14.99 for a 16 oz bottle at petco, treats 960 gallons if used correctly. It takes out nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, chlorine, & chloramines. I've used this for years without a problem.

No at petco the big bottle which is 16 ozs is 14.99 and will treat up to 960 gallons if used correctly. And the 8 oz bottle is 4.99 I don't know how many gallons it will treat, it's been a while since i bought that size .it's called kordon amquel plus ammonia detoxifier it's for fresh or...

That's a reasonable price range, I've had my HOB filters for a while now, I think 2 years.My other ones were given to me ,they were old and the things I bought to start up with 3 weeks ago cost about 250 ish.

You can beat ick without chemicals, Try a freshwater dip.It works because I did it myself a few days ago for ick spots on my fish.

I have an instant ocean sea clone 100 protein skimmer that I got from petco for 119 bucks. Works great.

You really don't need all of the expensive equipment if your money is funny, All you need is a power head for good current, a hang on the back filter, and a protein skimmer and you're good to go. I've read on different forums that these people go and buy all of this fancy equipment and end up...

It's bacteria, It will clear up on its on, If it doesn't then do a 25% water change to replenish water conditions. Are you running a protein skimmer?

Try a freshwater dip for 5 to 6 minutes, It works, Done it myself if you wanna know how I'll explain if you're interested.

Are you using R/O water or tap water?, Because if you're using tap this could be your problem.Try Kordons amquel water conditioner and see if that works for you and use R/O water only.
