Yes all fish in the sea have ich. OK, maybe 0.0237% don't have it, but they my have some kind of social disease instead.
I am going to have to get into this again but it would be much easier if you read it when I posted it 73 times.
Ich is a natural part of the sea. Ich has been there longer...
Almost. But my socks are 47 this week. :cool:
Just to prove we are not arguing to the rest of these arguing people, lets dump out our tanks and fill them with damp sawdust. We can dampen it with a little ASW and NSW. We may have to add a little prizapro to eliminate the ants. :oo:
Maybe...
Amado, first of all. Good Morning. :)
My post was not to argue or disagree with you. Many people, probably the majority of reefers use ASW. They have to as most of them don't live near the sea.
I came on this thread because the tital says "The Dangers of NSW".
I think I have the oldest...
Actually they do. Many of them but not many species. Even off Orchard beach in the Bronx which isn't exactly Tahiti (where I also dove quite a lot)
There is a type of soft coral that grows. It has tiny polyps and is not very attractive. It won't live in a tank for any amount of time as I...
Why don't you just ask me on my thread? Contrary to popular opinion I don't get all these posts through osmosis. I occasionally pass through and my ears tickle when my name is mentioned.
What a silly thread. We should be asking, "Why would we use ASW from a box".
Where do we think our fish...
Today I took our Christmas tree down. For many years I would remove the ornaments and lights then carry the thing outside and spend the next few weeks picking up needles. About 10 years ago I started doing it this way. I put a fifty gallon garbage can on a dolly and roll it next to the tree. Put...
The Hippo eats what the rest of my fish eat. Cake on Christmas but the rest of the year they eat LRS food, frozen mysis, clams and live white worms.
They have not complained yet and I have not had a fish die from a communicable disease since probably the 80s. :p
CRASH!!!!!!!.
No, not my reef, don't be ridiculous, I have a reverse undergravel filter and everyone who has a reverse undergravel in their tank that crashed, raise your hand.....Higher.
My worm culture crashed. It didn't crash because the worms died, it crashed because I have to many worms...

I can't give any advice here because I am totally against using carbon or Rowaphos.
I also don't like changing to much water or chasing numbers so any advice I give would cause the people here to come by my house and throw dead sea cucumbers on my door step, set it on fire and run away. :cool...
I have always had a generator because I like it in a blackout when my lights are on and people walk by and say:
"Oh, you are so lucky, you have a generator".
Like it fell out of the sky all by itself. :cool:
This morning I got up at my usual 4:30 or 5:00 and I normally go for a walk. It was predicted to be 16 degrees now so I didn't prepare to go but they lied, it is 33 degrees which would have been fine. Too late now as I lost my window of opportunity.
As I am waiting for my wife to get up I am...
I just cleaned around under my tank and found a small, very stiff fish. I think it was one of my ruby red dragonettes.
Oh well. Better him than me. :cool:
I think it was there for quite a while because it is a hard place to get to.
No, he didn't have parasites, intestinal worms, velvet or all...
We really need gender specific stores. because Men, like me have no patience. How many times do us men go into a store and there is a woman in front of us checking out. and she doesn't have exact change and searches in her bag for 15 minutes looking for it. My wife does that.
I say just give...
Most of us get cool stuff for Christmas and our birthdays but I am lucky as my birthday is actually on Christmas day.
Years ago I used to get a lot of presents because of that, but in those days everyone used to get more presents than now and that happens as we get older. We already have...
