Hello everyone, I was wondering if there is a shelf life (I guess you could call it) on the salt water I make for my water changes? I usually make the water a week before and adjust as needed but has anyone stored their salt water for longer periods of time? I use rubber made tubs to store the...

Thanks for your help

I am finally putting my Atlantic Blue Tang back into my Main. I used erythromycin and copper to treat the fish for the last two months. Should I clean out the QT? Change the Carbon or clean the one PVC Piping in there? Total water change? Any info would help. Thank you

Thanks for the advice, I went to the website and they say that mixing Erythromycin with any copper med is safe. thanks again for the help

Gratz on the good deal, and the little extra you threw them was nice as well

Thank you all for your advice, I went to the hardware store today and purchased a Mason Jar for a US dollar. It is working well, it is air tight and it is containing the smell. Hope this helps. Good luck with the server move this website rocks

I have a faulty all glass heater. I believe it is a faulty dial setting. On my heater I set it to 74F to have it stay a steady 80F. Just do not let the water temp get too high or low quick. It should be a gradual increase or decrease.

Soaking my food in garlic extract is extremely smelly. I would like to soak my food for around a half hour or so but the room stinks so bad that I can not take it. Can anyone suggest a way to soak my food for at least a half hour, that will reduce the smell? At the present time I put a few...

Thanks I will see if they could help me, and yes I do but not for the half hour which I noticed you suggested earlier. I will let it soak even though it stinks :) any advice for combating the stink (even though this is wrong forum) Thanks again

I have my Atlantic Blue Tang in my QT for a week. I am treating it with copper for white spots/ich. I am noticing that my fish seems to be getting a bacterial infection, which I believe came from the wounds she received while scratching. (they were bad, she was bleeding from it) Am I able to...

I use the Maxi Jet 1200, it mounts to the inside of the tank with 3 suction cups. It is also fully submersible so you could adjust it to the height you want inside the tank. I like it best because it is silent, I don't even know it is on. Just be sure to put a sponge filter over the intake to...

I do not know if the algae beginning to grow on this rock in my tank is good or bad? Any information is appreciated. Thanks

I appreciate the help, I am trying to trap it in a glass so I can QT it and photo it for ID. Thanks again

Thanks Fluff, Is it a threat to my tank?

Thanks I got it to work. I put the picks in a new subject titled "what is this in my live rock?" Thank you all for your help

I posted this earlier but was not able to submit photos, I hope this time it works. It was hard to get a good shot of it because it is in a hole in the rock. I noticed something in one of the holes in my live rock, I never seen it before, the last time I put new live rock in was two weeks...

Nice looking fish Good luck

I had a tomato clown that acted similar once. When I first got it he stood in the top corner of the tank for a week, then was completly vertical for a full day I thought it was dead. After a few more days it either got better or snapped out of it because it became a great addition to the tank...

I dont know how to post to here, I got it in my picture files but when i add the attachment it tells me General error tried to upload empty file.

I just noticed something new in my tank, I is in a hole in one of my live rocks next to my Watchman Gobie. I don’t know if it is dangerous or not. It is about the size of a matchstick, it is tan to light brown, it has spike like things along the back and looks to have claws or some kind of...

I have never owned a wrasses, from what I am reading most tend to burry themselves under the sand. I am considering buying a Dragon Wrasses but I am concerned because I have a medium to large sized Hermit Crab. Will the Crab kill the Wrasses if it catches it while it is buried in the sand...

Garlic LOL boy did I laugh when I read how you realized the smell, because it reminded me of my wife's face when she did what you did. I need to laugh thanks :) I do not use garlic with every feeding since my fish are not too picky, so far. I do use it more often when I have a new fish...

Hello, I am buying an internal protein skimmer for my 90 gal FOWLR tank. I am finding it hard to find the Aqua Medic Turboflotor 750, I would like to know if anyone is familiar with it and these brands as well. Aqua Medic Turboflotor 750 or the Midiflotor Berlin Airlift 90 Lee's Large...
