Can a saltwater tank be used to seed a freshwater tank? More specifically can I use a small piece of live rock or small sponge from my saltwater sump to seed a freshwater tank? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So almost a year since I put my foxface through hyposalinity and copper treatment. Not sure which one actually helped but he's cured. Has been thriving and has shown no reoccurring symptoms.

Been a salt water hobbyist for a while. Not sure if fresh water is much different (except for the salt, obviously). My daughter wants glow fish for her birthday. Thinking I'll get her an 8-10 g for her room. How do I start? Do I need to cycle water before adding the fish? Help please.

How long do I need to treat for ich? Foxface seems healthy now. Thinking of putting him back in the DT tonight.

Using this. Seems to have worked. I had no idea I would do water changes twice a day though.

Well, today is day three of copper treatment. Maybe I'll discontinue the copper and go straight hypo salinity. Can I treat for Popeye without loosing BB? I'm using maracyn two Popeyes treatment.

Just set up qt for ichified foxface. Seeded from DT (2) gal, QT is 10g. It's been set up for 3days now. Had to do 3 emergency PWCs due to ammonia. (.5ppm). Treating fish with copper, which is why there is no substrate. What am I doing wrong? Why won't this qt cycle?

ammonia is 0 Nitrite 0, Natrate 5 to 10 Ph 8.0 Sal. 1.020

Yep, long term success with everyone else in the main tank.

Its a new addition. Shouldve looked him over better before I bought him. My DT is pristine.

How long should I treat the ich and keep him in QT? Obviously until all signs are gone, but how do I know the ich is gone and not gonna come back? Today is only day two in QT, but he already seems like a different fish; swimming and eating. Just has that nasty puffy left eye.

Is pop eye a symptom of ich or is it another issue? Quarantined with copper meds and low salinity. White spots gone, but eye still popping out.

We shall see in a couple of days if QT works with copper treatment. Foxface had no issues with FW dip.

Well, I also quarantined. Hyposalinity and ich meds. See what happens
