    Cure for Ich?

    My 12 gal. Nanocube has become infected with Ick. I have no idea how but it's there alright. My clown has bitten the dust and the damsel is on it's last leg so I'm now wondering how to get rid of these parasites. (only had 2 fish) The Damsel wont make it through the day so i am going to treat...

    Nanocube setup - Too fast and eager?

    Added Live Rock today ! I posted this in another room as well: I found a lfs today that I felt totally comfortable with. They guy totally explained everything about the sw setup. He also explained to me that I should have put some lr in my fish tank if I wanted to add some cool inverts as...

    Addition of LR to exist 12 gallon Nanocube

    I finally found a lfs that I really feel comfortable with. While I was there explaining to the vendor that my nanocube has been up and running for 2 weeks now with perc. clownfish on it's 5th day, he explained to me that I should really have some LR in my tank (especially if I wanted some cool...

    Nanocube Setup - PT 2. Fish Reccommendations...

    Now that my 12 gallon tank seems to be cycled properly (thanks to you folks), I would like to get some suggestions about giving our perc. clown some friends. This is a 'fish-only' aquarium. No LR or Coral. Just some artificial do-dads for the fish to hide in. I do however have about 1" of...

    Nanocube setup - Too fast and eager?

    Thanks ! I will run all the tests again tonight. If it checks out I will do a light water exchange this weekend and add a friend for my clownfish next week. I hope I haven't offended anyone by having my clownfish in while I'm on this learning curve. My intentions were to have the tank...

    Nanocube setup - Too fast and eager?

    I don't know if this makes any difference. I used FRITZ-ZYME #9 in the tank while it was cycling w/o fish. Maybe that's why my Ammonia and Nitrate levels are 0. However, I'm going to do a 10% water change tommorrow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------...

    Nanocube setup - Too fast and eager?

    Deep End ! Nice pun. So I just finished reading the article on Ammonia and Nitrate and the benefits and risks... I guess my little clownfish is helping to cycle the tank by providing ammonia that in turn grows ammonia-fighting bacteria... If the ammonia/nitrate levels are o, why can't more...

    Nanocube setup - Too fast and eager?

    Ammonia looks good ! I just tested for ammonia and it is close to 0. It registers bright yellow on the liquid test which looks good. Nitrate as well. Do I still need to replace some water? It's been 1 1/2 weeks since the new water water was setup. The water I first used was supplied to me...

    Nanocube setup - Too fast and eager?

    I purchased a 12 gallon jbj nanocube for my son a couple of weeks ago. My wife talked me into saltwater application so he could have a Perc. Clownfish (as if every kid doesn't want one). Anyway, I've never, ever had an aquarium (salt or fresh). Therefore, I am a little sketchy on all the...
