    Fish not doing well - Bad RODI water quality?

    I was reading your post at work while cleaning and putting dry rub on 80lbs of brisket so I may have missed that. You had me worried mentioning 4 small tanks lol. Of course I never claim to be any expert here many that posted here have way more experience than myself. So take my comments only...

    Fish not doing well - Bad RODI water quality?

    Not intending to, yet he hasn't been in the hobby even 3 months yet. I would say current situation is beyond his ability. He's a very nice gentleman I've meet on a few occasions.

    Fish not doing well - Bad RODI water quality?

    Honestly if the prazi doesn't work in a day. You are at risk of loosing all of your fish. The number of fish your talking about trying to treat is well above the skill and ability of most here that have qt fish. It would cost money of course but the best thing you could possibly do for the...

    RSVP by 10/31 for the 11/2 SUNDAY frag swap in San Jose!

    Avery labels on Amazon or find them in person at a office depot type store, I know u hate Amazon lol. There are other brands but Avery tends to be straight foward and their templates are easy to edit and customize. Other brands will vary from being easy to being difficult to not having a...

    Tank Upgrade Question

    I have 100gal stock tank you could borrow. In santa clara. I would just need to move the rocks into a trash can or barrel. Not as big as the 300gallon one. I also have a 50gallon petco style tank if thats a better size?

    Fish not doing well - Bad RODI water quality?

    Worry about the fish first I would ignore the water parameters for now as long as salinity and temperature checks out. I strongly think it's some type of ick but I'm no expert.

    Water testing setup

    I have one but to dang big lol. I've only used it once, can't fit in my tank and so far I haven't done a huge water change beyond using a few 5 gallon buckets. Not really a complaint, I just find the Hanna checker more convenient. Not arguing the other is likely more accurate here, however...

    Inkbird Wifi

    I just pulled wifi one off my tank they constantly set off their alarms my issue with them crazy beeping I couldn't stop like every day. Turn it off than it beeps again the next day. I switched back to the non wifi ones on other tanks already while back from same issue.

    Hans’ Coral Club Tank

    Awesome how much space does your sump have. I have a 3 larger leathers I could bring for you. It would ould definitely help if you bring a 5 gallon bucket and lid so I could keep my own bucket. By larger: think 6-7,inches in height. Just confirm with me you will be there and I'll bring them.

    I don’t think it’s hair algae

    I tend to agree it being bryopsis.

    Fish not doing well - Bad RODI water quality?

    I wouldn't rule out possibly ich. Just the fact these things are magnets for it. They drop off the fish and come back worse or lesss- I think it's part of their life cycle. I would only say it's not velvet that can wipe out the entire tank in 24hrs or less. Fish can still eat and have ich...

    Fish not doing well - Bad RODI water quality?

    Can you get very clear photos of the tangs under white lights. That tang is highly prong to fish parasites. Hard to see it clearly with it moving in the video. Hopefully it's nothing parasite related yet it could be very early stages meaning fast action could save them. Understand that all the...

    Hans’ Coral Club Tank

    I have a decent collection of leathers I would be willing to donate a larger one, or a few random frags. They are almost impossible to kill unless you actually make a effort to kill them. Good to be one of first corals in a new system do to their hardness and low care requirements. Once tank...

    Woe Day Scammer

    Just my general thoughts here as a avid purchaser of used equipment. (not anything representing bod here) I would say that 85% of my stuff is used including tanks, lights and other major equipment items. There were a few key items or equipment I purchased new but not many. Buying used...

    210 gallon Dream tank

    I Added a lot more coral today. Frag tank has gone from full to nearly empty except half of my torches, a few random lps, zoas, and mushrooms, clean up crew, and 2 fish, a melanurus wrasse and that baby maroon clownfish. I added 6 trochus snails to help with diatoms, moved a yellow corsis...

    Are these frag plugs the annoying ones?

    Reefing art I think they are called. Very difficult to cut and break stems off. I think it depends on how long and what temperature the ceramic plugs are fired at that determines how hard they are when finished. Some ceramic ones are much easier to frag and break up than others. Some could...

    Qckslvr’s biocube 32 is off and running.

    +1 and keep lights off until you have coral that require it. Lights will only grow alage.

    How does fish feeding translate into nutrients? N and P specifically!

    I thought they used tdo pellets? I mean they probably use different foods as well I would imagine. Giving my fish tdo pellets makes them all go nuts like shaking the bag of cat treats lol. They swim much faster to grab them and some of the wrasses, and my larger maroons do top water explosions...
