If you do plan to treat for ich, before going Copper route, please do read about Hyposalinity to treat Ich.. it’s so much easier on the fish, so much easier to execute than copper treatment (and can be executed in DT) and I had 100% success with it treating my 15 fish struggling with moderately...

Hmm not sure what’s accurate, but this is what Gemini says: Egg Resistance: Praziquantel does not kill fluke eggs (ova), making follow-up treatment necessary to eliminate survivors. anyways, I guess ‘why’ doesn’t matter.. I just wanted to suggest to do at least 2 rounds :)

Yes, 100%.. some people recommend doing 2 rounds, to kill any eggs as well.. but ensure proper aeration when using prazi.. chat with GPT before dosing

yes.. 8" water level, pump running at 4 (max is 5)

Cleaned it on Saturday

Hmm, interesting perspective.. didn’t think about it until you said it.. not sure if it’s easier and cheaper though, but certainly worthy of being a great suggestion.. will think about it, thanks for sharing

Thanks Michael for the detailed write up.. makes complete sense to me.. I will not replace rowaphos until I am using LC, will install the reactor once I am at a manageable number. Yeah I had 0.45 ppm phosphates on day 1 I setup the tank.. got seeded rocks from Clearwater though they really did...

Understood, yeah that makes sense.. If the numbers are error free than I might have already caused a big sudden drop (from over 2.44 to 1.85 currently in 3 days).. Will stay away from Rowaphos in this case, want to keep using LC for sometime at least until the situation gets better I have Hanna...

Are you suggesting not to use LC and Rowaphos together? Rowaphos is still in my system (in a bag right now instead of the reactor).. I just did a quick chat with GPT and it said its ok to use both concurrently, can you please elaborate on above comment? will buy more reagents, thanks for the...

04/06 (4:30 PM) : About a day after 2nd 20% Water change (~40 gal) + 3 days of dosing 2ml LC directly in the skimmer: As suggested by few BAR members in the thread, mid last week, I diluted the water 1 tank water : 3 fresh salt water and re-tested the params.. Phosphorous still showed at 200...

Can someone share a link of what to buy to dip the corals in for newbies like me :) I see KCl as the recommendation in a few threads, but would be good to know what exactly are folks buying and from where

Not yet, juvenile Females are not as pretty as the male adults which are the colorful fish we see online.. I heard the lifespan of these wrasses after they turn what they call in stores as 'Supermales' is only a couple of years, not sure how true is that, but given that most wrasses live for 5-7...

My clowns chose to sleep on the surface instead of the nem I added.. at first I thought if they had swim bladder disease or something, but nope.. clowns being clowns!! Luckily one of the 4 clowns found the nem and sleeps in there.. I see at least 2 other clowns trying to convince this clown to...

I have a juvenile in my tank.. About 1 inch, very active and always out there in the open with the bigger wrasses.. can’t wait for it to grow and show its ‘true colors’

got in line after talking to @Darkxerox when I met him today.. he shared some great insights and recommended that adding these to my tank may also help with the high nutrients situation.. Anybody who has 1, please let me know if this become available

I would like a frag of this one. This post was automatically created by BARcode

I dont even have earthquake insurance.. Feels like we are sitting on a ticking bomb.. Maybe time to spend that 3k for another may-be-useful-in-future insurance! As soon as I got the alert, I did run to check on my tank! so many things that can go wrong in this hobby

Do you think feeding brine shrimp from hatchery caused these 2 deaths? I read some posts on R2R that Anthias dying with its mouth open usually indicates acute respiratory distress, often caused by low oxygen levels, high ammonia/nitrite, or parasitic infections in the gills. Not saying one of...

@Alejandro_1403 @Patio are you guys using Float Valve by any chance? I had the same issue with Aquatic Life RO Buddie few months back where TDS would just creep up within few days/weeks of usage.. I found out that they don't advice using Float valves, stating that the DI resin can't 'handle' it...

Thank you for the guidance on how to measure with diluted water.. I will try that next.. appreciate you sharing your experiences.. I do have Red Sea reefmat 1200 sitting in my garage.. I am just awful with plumbing so not collecting the courage to install it in my tank yet since it apparently...
