    It has arrived.............. OMG, this is scary

    There are many fish that are resistant (just like there are many fish that are highly susceptible), so that doesn't surprise me. Any time we had an ich showing in our main (never turned into an outbreak), it was always limited to our tangs. Where is your temp now?

    It has arrived.............. OMG, this is scary

    If you get through the next two weeks I wouldn't worry about next month (unless there's a new stress event). I would not add any new fish for the next few months (obviously). When we had ich our fish was in a Hypo QT. It seemed that every 16-24 hrs there was a lull in the visible outbreak and...

    It has arrived.............. OMG, this is scary

    Raising the temperature will increase the speed of the ich cycle, exposing the fish to increasing numbers more quickly. Was this recommended somewhere? I'd like to get some insight into why raising the temp would be beneficial. Raising the temp would only be desirable in a Hypo situation where...

    Need some advice/help.

    Since this is a softie tank I don't skim, I use the rock for filtration. That and water changes. I wouldn't try to keep SPS that way though. I think you'd be disappoined.

    Need some advice/help.

    Hey! How did you get YOUR 75?! I'm still waiting on mine *pout* Congrats on the tank. We're using a 10g tank under our current 65 but it is a softie/fowlr and doesn't use a skimmer. Yes, it can be done! :)

    My soon to be upgrade

    How great that he'll be displaying it at the swap! I can't wait to see it in person. Congratulation on getting a new tank anyway, even after all of the heartache. Will you be there to see it first hand?

    Posting my tank build (if anyone cares)

    LOL. You're funny. Build a dam around the sump and don't put the carpet back! A dehumidifier is also a must if you're going to be keeping carpet in the basement. Otherwise you'll get a musty smell just from the evap.

    Stray voltage

    I've not had stray voltage trip a GFCI and we've had it too. We always use our arm to test it. Better if you have a fresh little cut. Sad, but true.

    How do you calibrate a temp. probe?

    I know you can mike MINOR adjustments via the calibration function to match it up with a second or third temp probe, but 27*? I'm not sure that is within tolerances. I wonder if it needs to be cleaned? Otherwise I'd think it needs to be replaced.

    THANK YOU to those who ONLY sell CB Banggai Cardinals

    I know that Aquatic Obsessions & Aqua Oceans both only sell captive bred. Anyone know of any other stores that are equally committed to the cause? After hearing Eric Borneman's presentation at MACNA on the Bangaii, I came home and PMd each of the LFS who have account reps here on NJRC asking...
