    My first Fish copper Qt treatment

    I would set up the biggest aquarium you have. Add as many seed bio bricks or live rock/ live sand. I wouldn’t use the new rock. It can go sideways. Treat for flukes and feed med food to clean out internal parasites. Then your fish will be squeaky clean. Oh borrow that 150gallon tub that’s...

    My first Fish copper Qt treatment

    Technically yes. If you were in therapeutic levels for 30 days. Velvet and ich should be dead. What temp did you have your aquarium at 78-80 makes the hatch faster. 74-75. They sleep longer in the cysts. I think that’s how people fail. Did you treat for flukes ? It’s the silent killer. Regarding...

    I think the last time I bought it. The box was 30”x18”x10”. Wet news paper on top. My price was 160-230 ? I don’t really remember. It was 20 years ago ? More or less by a few years.

    Alex’s IM 150 EXT

    I put them I an old Gatorade bottle with salt water and just shake it up once in a while. It will desolve in a hour or so. Depending on how big the rock is. Or I just smash them up with a hammer. But it makes a mess. I thought about an old coffee grinder but I haven’t gotten there yet. Oh. How...

    Bar lights and room lights

    Technically, electricity isnt safe at all especially older wired homes. will your house burn down ? probally not. I did miss speak. 120v is the same. the differance is amps/watts. led uses less to produce the same amount of light. which uses less current. which is more efficient. technically. i...

    Bar lights and room lights

    newer lights are normally lower votlage. two wires is fine. black is power, white is neutral, green is ground. you can just delete the ground. only thing is you have to use a on/off wall switch. no slider light switches

    Tank Parameters all over the place

    I’ve done awc for years and years. It’s not for nutrient export really. Unless you have a smaller aquarium. I did it for trace elements. Just to constantly get a little fresh elements in there. So yeah. It’s not gonna help you much right now. Later when you’re using a lot of elements then it...

    Skimmer troubles part 2

    If you started with dead everything and just seeded or bottle stuff. With an over size skimmer. It has nothing to skim. Leave it off for a good 4-6 months. Let your bio grow. Focus on your weekly maintenance. Like wc and whatnot. Your aquarium is just too clean. Btw. I like running an oversized...

    Vacations!

    After you set everything up like everyone said. Don’t change anything. Do this a week before you leave. That way if it goes sideways. You’ll still be able to fix it.
