It has it's pluses and minuses. Those on the side that believe it helps minimize the motile stage of parasites such as ich and velvet will say go for it. Make sure you get it sized correctly though. On the other hand it's not exactly a replacement for quality husbandry skills or even just...

If it's velvet - ouch... Treatment Initiate treatment immediately because the disease has such a high mortality level if not treated quickly. Treatment for this disease is almost exclusively with copper. There has been some success reported with the use of the antimalarial drug chloroquine...

both black and orange false percs are the same species so it's quite possible for them to mate. Congrats on finding one at AF. You'll have to post pics.

how's the clownfish holding up?

do you have a pic? I don't understand when you say you brush it off it doesn't come off? If it's dead rock just take a stiff brush and rake it off. Should be easy.

welcome to the addiction!

lionfish - welcome to njrc! I am not familar with corner tanks - I have read though that the sump area is difficult to maintenance. What are the dimensions of the tank? Does it have one or two overflows? In terms of lighting - either would work. Sump will be dependent on the size of the...

what fish are left and how big is the tank? do you have a QT available (how big?)

got it. I love the set up. How big is the sump? Capacity and length?

FIOS is in your area!? dang...i wish they'd come here. ::)

that sounds like an accident waiting to happen - the fact that added a new fish might seem like a cause but I doubt it. What kind of powerheads do you have? Unfortunately I wouldn't put the odds high on a fish surviving being caught in a powerhead. Then again my true perc launched herself out...

question - will there be macro in this sump?

NJ_ychung1 and madreefer - he doesn't have HA (hair algae) he has Bryopsis Algae. My kole tang does nothing algae (but loves nori and cyclopeeze). ::) ihop - is the LR not moveable? was thinking the last recourse would be to take the LR out and scrub it down in a bucket of waste water (after...

what corals are in there? what fish do you have in there and what size tank? I would double the size of your water changes or double the frequency by which you are doing 10%.

You can raise rotifers without having live phyto. They will ingest "dead" phyto all the same. There was a talk at MACNA by Randy Reed of Reed Mariculture who shared all this. What you mainly need is seed rotifer culture. Unfortunately mine crashed and now that my fish aren't pumping eggs out...

Thanks Brian & Deb! Cool set up you have downstairs! I am sorry I wasn't able to spend more time with everyone. Nice to meet you evoix, and great talking with you mnat/nikki! As always - great to see the officers/mods/volunteers (you know, the usual gang).
