How many pounds of rock was the order? Carlo

Yea, and maybe a couple of members local to them could pick up some extra cash and service the tanks properly. Carlo

Of course they're still in the bags waiting for you. :) Could you imagine? Carlo

I've seen this a couple of times with other fish. Typically it tends to happen in a certain part of the tank. Try taping a couple sheets of paper to the glass for a day or two so they can see there is a barrier. This often works and is pretty easy to do. Carlo

Break out your copper test kit and check there water. :) Low salinity and copper. Many LFS use copper and/or Formalin (37% formaldehyde solution). Many use this with lower salinity too. 1.018 isn't so bad and seems pretty par for the course. Keep in mind it's a lot cheaper for them to do this...

It doesn't seem to stress the fish to much. They way I look at it is that I know in 8 days the fish WILL NOT have ich, velvet or brook. I'd equate it to getting a flu shot. Yea non of us like it but it's not really a big deal and far better then getting the flu. I do try and lower the stress on...

Plus the fact that you're right so it's hard to contradict that. Carlo

I know a lot of people with mixed clowns and see it more and more all the time. I really don't think it's as big a problem as some make it out to be. I've got a pair of yellow striped maroons, pair of clarkiis, pair of false perc, 2 pair of true percs and a pair of black percs (12 total) in the...

I has a similar situation at a restaurant also. Made me so mad I couldn't enjoy the dinner. I vowed next time I go to a restaurant and there is any kind of tank or koi pond I won't look at it until after dinner. At least that way I won't get worked up about it. :) Carlo

Good idea Blange3. I've read a couple smaller threads but not the larger one(s). I figured I'd check here first and get some opinions to work from. At least here at NJReefers I know the caliber of the person giving the advice and know based on the person, if it's generally good advice or not...

It sounds like we're doing it very similarly. Have you tried the tank to tank transfer method of QTing fish? I've modified the approach a bit so it works with Ich, Velvet & Brook and pretty much guarantees the fish comes out of QT in 8 days with none of those three items. When you get new fish...

The Seio may be to much but might not be. If it's to much you can always deflect the stream off the glass or use it to blow a stream behind the rocks to help keep it clean. Carlo

There's a couple of threads on them here in the forums in the last few months. Do a search and read through them. Carlo

Thanks DaveK, sounds good so far. I understand the skittish comment. I think I'm going to go ahead with this next week unless some reason turns up that I shouldn't. I'm moving stuff around in the basement. I'm replacing my 55 glass sump with my 150g Rubbermaid Stock tank. I'm moving a 300g...

I figured you were "close" to doing that. How's it going now that he's back in the tank? Carlo

Nice setup Phil. How long did it take you to do? How many trips to the hardware store getting everything you missed the last time you were there? It seems like no matter how many parts you have laying around there is always one adapter or fitting you don't have. :) I'll say one thing. Your...

Phil, does it ever come out in the open or does it stay near the rock work all the time? I ask because you could slide a piece of plastic/acrylic down inside the tank to trap it in a compartment. Then it's easy because you can move the sectional piece and box it in. If it likes to hide in the...

It sounds like things are looking good for him. When were you thinking of putting him back in the main tank? Carlo

Type of beer (we're finicky) & Address :)

Looks like I'm not the only fanatic. :) blange3 is it pretty safe to assume you are mostly worried about marine ich and other parasites on the fish and not worried "as much" about other stuff? If you don't mind me asking, what type of dips are you using for your corals? I mostly just use Iodine...
