That's definitely apitasia it could very well have been growing out of something that was there prior to it. Once you get them they are a pain to get rid so keep up on them if u see more pop up Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Aquarium Advice mobile app

its apatasia

hypo a display tank what will happen if i hypo my display tank? how will the live rock do and what about the sand bed. If i remove the sand bed will i have a problem with amonia. does hypo kill nitrafing bacteria? does this mean my tank would recycle? I know 120 gallons is alot to hypo.

yeah I kinda figured so but. Im just looking for the solution on to put the ray in the 29 for the next 10 weeks and hypo the DT or put all the fish in the 29 and fallow the dt for 10 weeks. eather way the ray is screwing me over!! i Know he is a invert but nobody knows enough about them to tell...

well the odvious answer would be my girlfreind wanted it and i didnt want to put it in 55 so 120 was the next best thing for the time being. I have a powder blue, yellow tang, heniocu,s clown, bicolor ange,l and a cardinal. Please dont lecture me about the size of the tank, I am fully aware...

OK so I got a 120 gallon tank that is infested with Ich my fish spent 8 weeks total in quarantine/ hypo. the last three weeks they showed Zero ich. now about a 3 daysafter being in the DT they agian are breaking out with ICH. FML ok so i intend to check my parameters. I Imagine all parameters...

Im haveing trouble getting my alkalinity to drop below15 dkh. The calcium is up around 560. the magnesium is running a solid 1500. I started with a water change, this didnt help only made the issue worse, turns out my local water supply has naturaly 7 dkh in it to start out with. The solution...

excuse me I have to correct myself it is a refractometer. My apologies

Im guessing its just neglagence on my part i think i will have to be more vigilant with what I am doing. I probably havent monitored the salinity to well

I did before i placed them into hypo but not sense

ive killed more fish treating with copper It seems that i should buy a better test kit the api one i own is very inacurate. Im not a fan of copper, id like not to put it into this tank because use it to quarantine most everything. the one time i dont quaranting fish i have a mess

I dont think its marine Velvet I beleive that would have killed them already. Im pretty convinced its ich because they were completly spot free for a few days and i think its a matter of maintaining proper salinity like above mentioned. By the way what happens if the salinity drops below .008

I plan on lowering it down to .008 tonight. Im concerned with how acurate my hydrometer is i will have to get some test solution to calibrate it

my main tank is 120 gallon they are just in the 30 for treatment. i bought the tank all set up when i moved it i must have stressed them out and stirred something up in the tank. i plan on keeping the tank empty for 8 weeks while the fish are in treatment. I wish that I would have waited to...

Im 2 weeks into hypo. I noticed yesterday that I had spots on my powder blue, yellow tang, and heniocus. The Salinity has been pretty consistant 1.009 but it might hit 1.010 during the day while im at work its a 30gal tank. the water quality has been somewhat poor ive been doing small water...
