so concensus on hippo tangs: a) get them while they are small b) better while kept in Reef tanks c) QT all new arrivals especially the hippo d) garlic extract has worked to keep immune up anything else to help dori live? sorry my son calls it dori everytime we go to the fish store.

so is there anyone out there that knows if Instant Ocean salt is actually tainted? I guess I'll be switching to another option. any suggestions?

i would have done it if i kept my nano but it's been sold. i have a Reef ready 55 and no hob filter. can't test. sorry. i would still test it if i had readily available tools.

good to know. i don't have any corals at this time. 1.023 fish w/live rock?

bad was purchased two weeks ago in prep for move. it was in buckets for 16-18 hours w/ph. it was cloudy before pouring bucket up until now. which is well over 24 hours but has shown some improvements. i've never had this problem before. 1.020 - 1.026 is normal and more people tend to say lower...

oh yeah, there was recent threads about issues with Instant Ocean so that's why I am guessing that is the cause of everything.

I recently made a new batch of saltwater about 20gallons of RO/di water. sg: 1.023. The water is showing extremely cloudy. I have no clue what else could have caused it besides the Instant Ocean bag I used.

dastrader, you can check on reefcentral constantly. I've seen multiple ones for free. 400gallon, 120, etc. Unfortunately, I never got picked but someday you might get the chance. so good luck!

i just bought my aquac w/mag3 pump recently from a member on here for 90$. another member was selling for 100. just post in f/s as you mentioned and sure you can find someone selling it for cheap.

it's too big and wife will not allow that many fish tanks.

sounds good. ;D anyone make suggestions with a QT tank? bare bottom?

think putting in a tear drop or raccoon butterfly would be pushing my limits?

i don't have any plans on corals at this time. haven't really looked into them. i think zoas would be fine and lps (plates).

looking for suggestions on stocking my 55gallon Reef Ready i am going to get: hippo tang (found them around 1" in size with plans to upgrade in a year) mated pair false percs flame angel dracula/hi fin goby i really want to add in a purple tang or sailfin tang. chances are they will fight...

blue hippo is 75G i've seen it in a lot less. i know it's not ideal and chances are it isn't going to grow at it's MAX size for nearly a year. and as almost anyone in this hobby knows YOU JUST KEEP UPGRADING. i went from 2.5>10>15>33L> now to 55RR>future???? Once i buy my condo I will probably...

merv, only those who think like that have not had to deal with those type of people in a day in and day out situation. you will not find 1 IT analyst who will say they have not been outright frustrated due to the lack of common sense or ability with the human brain. qwik. when you mentioned...
