    Missing Clownfish <long>

    I just purchased an TR Ocellaris Clownfish yesterday. He was my tanks first fish. The LFS keeps their FO salinity at 1.014, so I did a 7 hour drip acclimation to get him up to my tank's 1.025. I netted him out of the bag and put him in the tank. He swam very quickly up and down the tank, and...

    Copper Treatments and Live Rock

    I could not afford to purchase a decent size new tank, so I bought a 37 gallon tank used. To my understanding, copper treatments for ich will leave a residue in tanks that will kill invertebrates. I inquired with the previous owner of the tank, and he said that he did fish-illness treatments...
