Yes I was the one that pulled what looked like the grab out of the tank. I even took a closer look at it and it looked liked the grab. Up to last night we haven't seen it and it's like three time it size.

I was told to think of ich as a cold. Not everyone will catch your cold. Both of my LFS says to feed them and mix in garlic or selcon to boost their immune system, so far that tang is eating very well and so are all the other fish and the tang still the only fish with ich. To clear things up I...

Yes but when you treat with copper you have to have a hospital tank but that will cause more stress when you move them. Best thing to do is keep them stress free because even if you get rid of it your fish can still get it so your wasting time and stressing the fish out but trying to treat it.

Ick is always an issue with tangs. My LFS says the best thing for is to make sure the sick fish eats a lot. I feed my tang some sea weed and myses and in a week time it's looking better

Thanks, so far everything seems good.

I am having issues with my Ph dropping. The tank has been up and running for almost a month. A buddy of mine and myself have the same set up and we use the same RO water, but his ph is normal and mine is around 7.8-8. What is going on with my tank and why is his tank just fine? What's the best...

Think my diamond spotted watchmen goby is killing my clowns. Found my first clown dead with one eye missing and one gill missing and today I found my designer dead in the goby little den. I'm sitting here watching him and it seems like could be the one because it's charging my chromis. Anyone...

I only noticed the spots when the white lights turned of and only blues were on.

I will contact him tomorrow, but it will take many years for it to out grow the tank. When it does ill rehome it. I have gotten most of my fish from him and all is good.

75 display with additional 35 gallons in sump and tank is about 1.5-2 inches

Sorry it a 75 gallon display with additional 35 gallons in the sump. My LFS guy says it's all good with what I got in there cuz everything is small.

I know tangs are really prone for ick. Yes your right it could have been present at time of purchase. Perameters are ph 8.1-8.4, ammonia 0 ppm, nitrites 0ppm, nitrates 10 ppm, salinity 1.024, temp 77.9. The cleaner shrimp is trying to get to it I think. But if it does I personally think the...

So I went and bought a Blue Hipo tang this evening. After I properly introduced it into the tank I watched it swim around for awhile and everything seems fine. As I was getting ready to go lay in bed I was looking really close at it and noticed little white spots on it. I know if fresh water...

Welcome to the site. Make sure you use a ammonia calculator. When using the calculator have a set ammonia reading that you would like it cycled to. Like when I did my saltwater tank first cycle I dosed it to 4ppm of ammonia and waited until it was at 0 ppm ( could take days) but after awhile I...

Best thing I ever did was buy a variable speed return pump. I bought a Reef Octopus Diablo DC 3500 it's rated at 950 ish gph on high. It has 6 different speeds and a feed mode. When I was shopping around a feed mode was one thing I wanted on most of my equipment.

Sorry shake

When you tested you nitrates did you shack the bottles like an <mod edit>. Then add the drops and shack the test tube like an <mod edit>. I had the same issue but realized I didn't shack the bottles good enough.

I put mine in the fug. I have two in mine since I have a total of 100 gallons in my system and I think my (2) 200 watt heater will do 100-150 gallons together. The reason for two heaters is, if once malfunctions and stays in high it won't make increase in temp to where on big heater will spike...

I'm sorry that made no sense. So the water that drains out of your main tank into the sump should be the first section and the skimmer should in the first section also. The second section will be it fug, and the third section is your return section where the clean filtered water will be and wait...

After the you will have your return where you need a pump to return the water to the tank and to keep it flowing

This is how i got my 49 gallon breeder set up. As you can see the black flexible hose is my drain and the skimmer is in the drain section then it flows into the refug and then bubble trap and then in to the return where a pump pumps it back in.

Do you have a return pump that will pump the water from the sump back into the main tank?

Check out Fragtasticreef.com he has a bunch of skimmer with their description.

Since the tank is probably going to be smaller than the stand I would put center support stands in the middle of the bench to the ground. The bench is probably designed to hold 250-300 across the whole thing. To be on the safe side I would put two more legs on the bench on the middle.

Thank you that helps with my understanding.
