maybe it's the LFS you buy your fish from? I mean our Mandarins (Biota), and CBB (HT) are awesome fish and doing very well, with no special diet. Yet for some reason we have had at least 5 Bangaii die on us :(

Good morning, and welcome. My wife and I went through an ich outbreak in our 90 gallon. It was quite the heartbreak to be honest. In your treatment have you used Polyplab Medic? This was recommended to us by LFS, and it did work. But we did some other things as well. We raised the tank temp to...

A little late to the party, but I really recommend High Tide. We got our CBB from him, and it eats just about everything we toss in the tank. We had CBBs from other vendors, tried to train them, gave them lots of pods and eventually they both died. The later may have been due to an ick outbreak...

Just a playful shot of the stars of our tank. Our two clowns, our CBB and fox face which are always together. I had my room lights off, and the tank is going to bed so the Radions are at 30%. Camera is at ISO 2000, f:1.4, and a shutter speed of 120.No color correction in PS only crop and resize...

Another Salinas transplant! Welcome to the board :)

so I shifted from the 100mm to my Canon 50mm 1.4. The 50mm 1.4 is known to be an awesome portrait lens, and so I literally gave it a shot. I don't have an anti glare hood, or a filter for the 50 yet. And the photos came out good. Again nothing that color correction in PS can't fix. Also I did...

RASA Garden Supply in San Jose carries 10 and 20 pound cylinders in stock, and their prices are very reasonable. Also they are open 7 days a week normally.

The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L seems to be the recommended lens for tank photography. Thoughts? Only stipulation is autofocus is a must. I can't shoot with my glasses on, and so I really rely on the camera to focus for me.

if you have an Outdoor supply or Ace Hardware (not HD or Lowes) they have really nice assortment of hose barbs. I have had good luck with Outdoor Supply.

it's under the tank..... but the cart is really hard to get up to 88 mph.

Made this cart about a month ago for water changes. Makes things so nice. RODI, pump, tank, all on a portable cart. 40 gallon tank HF 1000lbs garden cart 1850gph pump Spectra Pure 5 stage 150gph RODI Misc fittings Goodwill Yoga Mat We make fresh RO after the water changes. Night before the...

I thought about running ozone in my 90, but ultimately decided against it. Also the way my sump is set up, I couldn't fit that in the sump.

my 30 gallon came with a TopLids cover. I like it, it has a hole for feeding, and it is nicer than having the original biocube lid.

Thought I had a good thing when I found rolls on Amazon for my RM500. Two rolls for $22 vs $25 per roll for Red Sea. First couple of rolls where pretty much identical to the Red Sea rolls, and performed the same. I load the last roll in about 2 weeks ago, and I know about every 2 hours it rolls...

been a minute, but a small update! Our 90 gallon is reaching a point that it requires very little effort to keep it happy. We are still doing weekly 20 gallon water changes, but the water being sucked out is almost crystal clear. No yellow tinge that I can see. The ick I am sure is still in...
