I treated the cupramine on day one and day 3 and it doesn't say to do anymore dosing. I only put the cupramine in the QT. so that i didn't kill my inverts/corals in my DT. The tang is fine and his only problem through this whole crisis was the fact that he had cloudy eye. (which has gone away...

alright thanks jimbo... good points thanks for the insight!

I have a 55 gal reef tank and was wondering how many snails/crabs (any cleaning crew members) should i have? is there some sort of number u should have per gallon?

I've had peppermint shrimp b4 in a reef tank i did w/ some college buddies and they seemed to pick @ our corals but the corals just went into hiding. it didn't seem to harm them though. (not saying it didn't harm yours). we also had a cleaner shrimp and a decent sized red spotted hawkfish. The...

I had some sort of disease outbreak about a week ago (fish are obviously sick thread). I purchased a QT tank and have two gobies in there that are recovering well. They are both eating now like they used to (refused to eat b4). I treated the tank w/ copper and i don't know if that helped or...

yeah we got one basically on loan.. well we paid 12 dollars for him and we returned him 3 weeks later for 6... but he sure did the job!

Seahares knock out algae REALLY fast.

How long in QT tank? well the two gobies in the QT tank are starting to eat now... not like they used to but i guess its still a good sign that they are eating. I did 2 treatments of copper (thats what guy from LFS said to do) but they didn't have ich.. but hey it might have worked, they are...

so my other clownfish died yesterday while in the qt tank for the first night... the 2 gobies that are in there now are swimming around way better than they were but they are still refusing to eat... (i guess they could be eating while im not watching) but i tried soaking this mysis shrimp in...

just a bit of experience info on the coral banded shrimp... when i did a saltwater tank w/ some buddies in college, we had a coral banded shrimp and he got REALLY big over the course of about 8 months... during months 5 through 8 he ate a scooter blenny, two peppermint shrimps and a pretty big...

danny... i was told my hang on filter would do the job along side my protein skimmer... but then again i was also told that the more filtration the better... everyone in this hobby has a defferent opinion on everything! LOL do u think i should just take down the canister filter then?

dannyb... im not exactly sure of my flow in the 55 gal but i have 2 small powerheads that push quite of bit of water and then my canister filter, protein skimmer, and hang on filter all move water as well... BTW out of all of the fish i have the tang seemed to be the healthiest... he did not...

Alright thanks for your inputs. I went to my LFS today and bought a 10 gal tank and turned it into a small quartine tank. I put my two gobies and my clown (the other one died :() in there. They suggest that i give them a copper treatment called Cupramine. I got some some minced garlic that...

My name is scott and i have a 55 gal reef tank that i started may 2010. I have a penguin 350 biowheel filter as well as a magnum 350 canister filter. I only have a few soft corals (star polyps, kenya tree, xenya tree, and a patch of zoanthids) My fish consist of 2x percula clowns, randall's...
