Hello everyone. The last time I was here I was very frustrated and about to give up. Instead I decided to take a step back and take a little break. I was fighting ich, I have lost some fish, but I have learned alot. I now have a 150 g tank with a 30 gallon sump, about 125 lbs. or live rock, the...

I have a refractometer, so this will be my second time doing this, last time I went about 4 weeks, must not have been enough. This time I will try and be PATIENT. Thanks everyone so much. Already starting to have a better outlook on things.

that is my plan as of right now, to QT the fish and to get rid of the ich. I haven't started running the UV yet, just ordered it, it should be here today. Hopefully I can get everything undercontrol and get my tank balanced. I really appreciate everyones advice.

The trigger is in a 55 and the snowflake & lion is in the 75, I plan on keeping the lion & snowflake. The trigger will go back to the LFS. If I take the fish out of the 75 and Q, use Hypo again, and use a UV Stearlizer on it, do I still wait the 4-6 weeks? Thanks

I beleive this is what I am going to do. I really appreciate everyones help. It looks like I should be able to gain some control here.

I think that my water quality is good, I haven't had much of a problem with any of the quality, except for maybe nitrates which will go up to about 80 on my test kit. That is when I do about a 30 gallon water change, this will get it back around 40. I have never got it any lower then that, I...

Yes I have checked the water that I use. I use tap water, I have tested it and have found nothing wrong with it, no nitrates, ph is at 8.2 or so, I haven't tested for phosphates and some other stuff, but don't have any algea problems or anything like that, just the ich and fish dieing.

I don't think I am going to give up just yet anyway. Just about to hit my limit on bad information, and the such. I fought ich for about a month and a half, thought I had it beat, put the fish in the tank and am back fighting it again. I did hypo, that is the reason for uv steralizer. It seems...

I do have a heater, sorry for not adding that in. I have thought about the sump idea, but just got more confussed on how to go about it. What would adding a sump do for me? Does anyone have a website or something that has some good directions?

thanks everyone, thats why I got the porc puffer, was told and read that they could live through anything, don't know for sure what happened. Right now I have a 75g-right now the only thing in it is a v-lion & a snowflake eel. I have a seaclone skimmer, regular florecent lights, and 2 1200...

I have had a saltwater tank up for about 1.5 years now, granted I have moved the water, rocks & fish around. First was a 55, realized it was to small, moved everything to a 150, realized it was to small, moved everything to 180, realized didn't have enough equipment to run this, LR, water...

I have downsized to a 75g from the 180. I have the above mentioned fish in it. To much already or maybe add something else? thanks everyone.

I have tried the silversides, just looks at them. Maybe try and go a couple of days without feeding? Has that worked for anyone? thanks

hello everyone. I was wondering if those of you out there that have a porc. if you have gotten him to eat anything else. I have tried everything and at best he will bite it then spit it out. The only thing he will eat is freeze dried krill. Thanks

I have been checking the sal. atleast 3 x a day w/ refractometer. I guess I am just getting impatient. I will try and calm down, thanks for all the help.

Hello everyone, I have been treating for ich now about 2 weeks, I have Qt'd the fish and am using hypo, am using a refractometer, have the sg at 1.009, the fish are still showing signs of after 2 weeks. Is this normal? The fish are huma huma, and V lion. Had a dog face puffer but he didn't make...

They are in a non-reef tank, so I will keep a eye on them. Thanks for all the help.

Thanks for the ID. Are they pretty easy to keep, my first Anemones.

Wondering if you guys could help me out here. Got these 2 anemones? on some live rock from liverocks.com, can't seem to find out who they are. Here is a couple of pics. Thanks http://members.rushmore.com/~helprin/anemone1.JPG http://members.rushmore.com/~helprin/anemone2.JPG

I did my first water change since the swap, I changed 30 gallons. Ammonia was 0, NI was at .25, NA off the chart. am mixing more water to another water change tonight.

Well I changed out the CC w/ sand last night. So far so good, I really like the looks alot better. I filled some nylons with some of the cc and haven't had any problems as of yet. Went pretty smooth.

I have a 150 FW tank that I used sand in, I vacuum the waste off of the top and that is about it. I have a lot of snails in there and they do a good job of keeping the sand mixed up.
