I agree that the valve should be easy to access. Mine is right under the stand near the sump and I need 2 hands to turn it sometimes.

Three days of using the med and the Hippo looks so much better. Just a few spots on the face. I will probably stop now and turn the skimmer back on tomorrow.

Interested in the red goni, yellow scroll and chalice. By the way your pics didn't load.

Sounds good to me. I have 3 rules when setting my lights. 1 - Ensure inhabitants are getting enough light to survive. 2 - Ensure not to much light so it doesn't cause algae issues. 3 - The lights are on when I am home to enjoy the tank.

Very cool.

When I had MH and VHO they would all be on at the same time but staggered. So in morning VHO came on first 30mins later MH. At night MH went off first and 30mins later VHO went off. Hope that helps.

Probably not. I think the store doesn't want to say yes and then the pump breaks and I try to return it. I can't blame them.

I hope so too. With my first grandchild due in 2012 it has to be.HAPPY NEW YEAR to all you crazy reefers!

Taz, you must have been reading my mind. LOL

The ebay store advised the pumps are not usable with a timer or controllr. No explanation.

All I can say is that I will never order from him. I have read to many complaints here and on other forums.

Tony, thanks for the info. I do feel that garlic entices the fish to eat which in turn will help fight the disease. Riht now its still eating like a pig.

I purchased Ich-Attack. I went with a 40g dosage as last time I used this product I think I over dosed. I estimated 80g total volume and went with half. 75g DT and 30g sump, with LR, sand coral displacement and 15g on sump. The fish seems fine so went with a low dosage to start with. I am also...

Thanks guys. I don't think it was due to poor water quality as I have been all over the tank lately. I really think the sand stressed out the fish. There was sand on the K3's which I turned off and left in while these new pumps were going. Going out to the store and pick up some medicine now.

Paul, A hospital tank is not possible as I only have an 8g tank available and its in storage. The pic is bad as he still swimming around. The white stuff are not really spots; the best way I can describe it is reminds of when you peel after a sun tan. I have a few snails but not many. More...

Here is a pic of my Hippo tang. The best I could get as it is still active and eating. Any ideas as to what it could be and how to treat? Thanks Mark

It could be ick. The hippo is not looking well tonight. It came on very fast; as the whole body is covered. Was not like that yestrday.

I can't believe you are parting with this. I have seen it in person and it's beautiful.

Day 18 - 10g water change. Nitrates - the same, slightly less than 5ppm.

Until I get some type of controller I took one pump out of the system for now. I placed the other in the middle back glass pointing in opposite directions. Edit: I forgot to mention that the two pumps caused some irritation on my hippo tang. Looks like little air bubbles or sand on its body...
