Blue tang is still 2 inches long. My LFS says they use this product on their tanks and there has been several costumers satisfied with the results. I don't have a QT. I know there will never be a cure and if i take the tang to a QT what tells me my DT and sump is still not full of these parasites?

I'm currently fighting ich on my 90 gallon reef tank with a 20 gallon sump. I started yesterday morning using Polyp Lab Reef Safe "Medic". It's a "reef safe aquarium conditioner engineered to promote a parasite free and healthy environment for marine fish". They're crystalline peroxide salts...

If i was debating on getting these Taotronics for my 90 gallon reef, what model should i be looking for and how many? My tank is 48" long. I currently have metal halides and T5's - 4 blue 4 white. I have a huge clam, anemone, devil hands, kenya trees, polyps, mushrooms, leather corals. Really...

can i turn off my return pump for 6 hours overnight to see if it's causing the high temperature? will it cause any distress to my DT and livestock? I will also turn off each fan and power head, one each night of the week to see if it's any of them>

I have installed one fan on the metal halide stand blowing horizontally towards them. The fan is super loud. Annoying. it's been keeping temperature around the 80 mark but I have also noticed that my T5 actinic light stand is super hot. Both internal fans are working and clean but they're still...

i have both digital and glass thermometer. each on each end of the DT. they both show pretty much the same reading. I will try the fan idea. Day 5 and no heaters on in my sump or DT and temp is 82.2 during day and 80 during late night early morning

Thanks guys, 24 hours later after unplugging both 200 watt heaters from my sump DT temperature is still at 82.7 2 hours after metal halides went out. i have metal halides for 6 hours a day. Going to invest on two PC fans on both ends of the MH stand facing each other. I think that will help

I've been having temperature issues that I'm having a hard time trying to correct. I have a 90 gallon saltwater DT with a 30 gallon sump. I recently purchased two eheim 200 watt heaters that i put on my sump to replace the 250 W i had on my DT since it was acting up and temperatures were...

It's said that a yellow tang should be the last fish to add to your reef tank due to its aggressiveness and territorial attitude towards others. If I get a baby yellow tang now when I only have a baby blue tang, a large clownfish and two diamond gobies, will it clash with others who will be...

i had about 15 aiptasia on my tank. A couple bigger than any of the 6 peppermint shrimp I got. I put them in the tank and didn't feed them for two days. After the second day i only had the two bigger aiptasia "hanging" around. They look like they've been picked on but were still there. All the...

Could a dead finger coral on a 90 gallon tank that fell of the rock into a hard to reach spot be the cause of high nitrates? It died about a week ago

Could a dead finger coral on a 90 gallon tank that fell of the rock into a hard to reach spot be the cause of high nitrates? It died about a week ago

Can't open the link or open the site if I google it. I will try some other time. Would like to read about it for sure. In the meantime 30 gallon water changes, no frozen brine shrimp and lots of waiting to get out of the 80 ppm nitrate readings.

How would adding vinegar to the saltwater tank be any good? Anytime someone tells me to wash a pump or powerheads overnight submerged in vinegar I'm told to rinse it and clean it well before putting it back in the tank.

Thanks for the reply, I will increase my water changes to 18 gallons (20%) and clean the carbon sponge in sump. I've been feeding the clownfish rinsed brine shrimp and the invertebrates and gobies about 15 pellets a day. Should I had a sheet of floss filter on top of water in sump where protein...

Hello, I've had my 90 gallon DT with a 30 gallon Sump running a carbon sock sponge at the end of the overflow hose and a Red Sea Berlin Protein Skimmer for three weeks now. I always use RO water for my water changes and have increased the amount I change from 5 gallons on week 1 to 12 galloons...

Hello ktomminello, Yes I am. I'm an avid researcher online and books as well as asking for advice at local aquarium stores but yes I do need a lot of help. I think I have the basics nailed down and it's running smooth so far.

Hello, New to all this and seeking advice as I go along. I recently purchased a 90-gallon saltwater aquarium with a 30-gallon sump tank that has been established by previous owner for 8 years. Lots of corals, live rock, sand but the only fish that survived the move were a clownfish and its...
