Hey all, I recently purchased a Weipro ORP-3010 controller for my ozone system but think there may be an issue with it. Hoping someone else who has one can let me know if I'm doing it right or not I wanted to get a reading in my tank at about 400, I put the controller probe in the water, got...

Its definetely a piece of cotton it ate... luckily it passed through.. just got to fix the the fin rot with Melafix

Hoping there might be a cure like humans with constpation to allow the powder blue to poop

Its definetely a physical piec of cotton wool. I can see it... it looks like a tiny strand of the cotton i clean my glass with.. looks like it ate it

Hey all, I've got a powder blue tang that I've had for several years, today I was feeding fish and while watching my powder blue, he/she did even eat as much as usual which was huge surprise. After watching him/her for a while, I realized there's a bit of cotton sticking out of it's bum. It...

I wish, there's no room to put anything above the tank or on the sides or even to out it in a separate room and run it through a wall. The only wall that has room on the other side is the walk-in wardrobe and my wife would destroy me if I attempted to put it in there. I've attached a photo...

unfortunately I don't think that would work, the pump on the inlet pushes water through but the reactor isn't full of water, the water only fills to about an inch or two above the the outlet. The reason I opt to do it was just a safety precaution, it DE-detoxifies majority of the ozone prior...

Hey all, I wanted to start using ozone in my tank, I've read sooo much information on ozone and how to use and just trying to take every precaution I can so I decided to buy an Ozone Reactor as part of my setup for the ozone. I purchased the Reef Octopus OR-150 Ozone Reactor - Detailed...

Hi all, 3 days ago I purchased a flame angel and a blenny. Currently sitting in QT both eating fine... but for the last 2 days the flame angel is pretty much consistently twitching its head and once in a while trying to scratch its right side grill. It's also breathing heavily. There...

HI all, Just in the middle of getting a new quarantine tank setup. Purchased a 30g tank and all ready to do What I wanted to know is for people who don't have this permanently working 24/7. How do you remove all the water from the tank once finished? At the moment I put a powerhead in...

Hi all, For some time I've been battling it out with ich.. firstly i did copper and silly me I did a WC with the DP water which once again infected the fish... then I tried hypo and failed with my blue tang with no improvement at 1.008 with a calibrated refractrometer. I've now changed back...

Ok awesome thanks for that :)

Yea so theyve been in quarantine for about 1 week... originally the water was at 1.025 and ive bought down the salinity over the course of that week down to 1.007 and has been that way for the past 36 hours.... in other words... for 5 days I was bringing down the salinity and the pass 2 days its...

Hey all, A while ago I got white ick... all fish are in quarantine. At the moment I have a powder blue, vlamingi and a hippo tang. Hippo is the only one with signs of ick. Over the last week I've brought down the salinity to 1.007... it's now stable and been sitting at 1.007 for the the...

Hi there, I'm in need of a bit of assistance of what to do From the title, i had an ick outbreak. I've got all my fish in a quarantine tank currently being treated with copper. The issue is that they've been in there for the past 2.5 months now... The reason why... previously they were in...

Hi all, I'm looking for a new skimmer. I have a 1000litre reef tank with approx. 300 litre sump with 12000 return pump. I'm from Australia and was originally going to purchase the SRO XP 5000 internal which was able to handle approx. 500g (1800l) although I'm having a bit of trouble trying...

do you mean the bio pellets you put into a reactor? the little white ball thingys?

good luck :) just remember... the quicker you do it, the more of a chance the fish will survive

the issue with doing hypo in the DT is that it may kill your BB in there..... so ich generally can survive without a host for 6-8 weeks. that why if you remove the fish from the DT and leave it empty for 6-8weeks then the ich will die out on its own with no additives

puffer..... that was probably one of the best examples that ive ever heard

ich and white spot is the same thing.... just different names. yep so same method.... hypo or copper. the only 2 things that have a real proven success rate

is the fish scratching or doing anything out of the ordinary??? if it isn't I would probably go hypo if anything.... as it is a slow process to setup and if the ich isn't that bad then it should be ok. hypo is a bit easier on the fish rather than copper..... but I personally do copper...

yea looks like ich

vodka dosing is an awesome method although its just going to retain the issue and not cure it. hows ur stock looking? whats in there? whats the nitrate levels? and what sort of substrate do you have?
