Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I suggest 2 Korallia 4 pumps/powerheads. And depending on what kind of return pump you have you might want to add more.
As far as a skimmer, if there is any part of the tank that you don't want to use the word "inexpensive" on it's that. Don't go cheap on the skimmer. Break the bank. I went...
I think alot of LFS don't guarentee their fish because they're alot of people out there that are at fault for the fish dying. There are a million different things that can kill a fish. It's up to the buyer to look at the fish and make sure it's healthy before taking it home. I always make sure...
If it was just a couple of spots then chances are the parasites could have fallen off with scratching or just because the fish was moving alot.
I've had ich on my tangs come and go in a day ... i never worry though because they eat like pigs and I have neon gobys that clean them all the time.
I think you and I are alike that when you hear a fish is "hard to keep" you prove people wrong. My next "HTK" is going to be a regal. As soon as I can find a redsea regal angel that is already eating and about 3" (advised to get them while they're small) I'm gonna have to evacuate my Desarjini...
Looking for an ASM G3. I'm probably gonna get it new but I figure if someone was getting rid of one then why not help them out. My sump is made with ASMs in mind and i have a crappy crappy skimmer. The G3 is the perfect size and I figure I should upgrade while i'm about to do the change in...
Maybe you can get a TDS meter and test it. Or if someone you know already has one then you can bring them that water and have them test it.
I personaly wouldn't use anything other than RO made from an RODI that I made or know someone with the machine made.
An idiot friend of mine used poland...
T5...
The Compacts can't get anywhere near the t5s in output and color. My biocube 29 has the CF and they are horrible. They don't make anything in the tank look good. I would love to get a nicer bulb in there once i get some spending cash.
Francis, I got the pills already. I didn't leave them any information at all. None. They didn't ask and they sent them already. I would place the order and just not leave the information like i did.
Don't think it quit worked that way but yes it's possible that your fish went to the cleaner shrimp. My 3 tangs got to my 2 neon gobys and get cleaned daily (because my cleaner shrimp is a lazy punk) they haven't had a spot in forever.
It really does look great. I was there the other day. I love all the activity in your tank. So many little ocupants that make the tank come to life. The new mystry wrasse is gorgeous. It will look completely purple in no time.
