those who don't use the glass tops. isn't there a worry about condensation rising onto other locations? what are the alternatives? walls, ceiling (those with HUGE tanks) electrical outlets? I know my grandfather had that issues with the surge protector gaining salt deposit and causing a fire.

I like the setup. was looking to go with black sand but no LFS around me had the nature ocean bio activ live black beach sand. oh well. any new pics/updates?

nice tank!

quick question. i am about to build a 10g sump for my 15g. need a bit of assistance sorry for the n00b questions. i will be purchasing a overflowbox>which will lead down through flex pvc into sump. is a pump required or does it use gravity for the GPH specified? found one rated at 300GPH the...

it's a pain to use RO when i buy the 5 gallon bucket refills. from a store. especially when doing a 15 gallon water change. spending that much on salt as is. being on a budget stops your ability to do everything precise. definitely thanks for the advice and hoping for the best. i haven't seen...

i actually tested a few hours after 75% water change

hi, name's mikey from bergen county area. work as an IT for KPMG. i started 7+ months ago with FW and found the fish not as amazing as SW fish and would find myself wandering over to the SW section everytime i went into the LFS. i moved over to SW with a 33gal long for free from a family...

the ich was never apparent on the koran angel just some of my other fish. the koran has been in the qt for 2 weeks. only have a nemo (oscellaris) and the koran left and i am deciding not to buy new fish until later next year due to the weather. i just put them back into the DT. cleaner shrimp...

it looked like it was already starting to fall off but once i bought the cleaner shrimp and all i had in the tank was the angel and cleaner shrimp. the fungus was gone and no sign of either ick or fungus on him.

gone. looks like the cleaner shrimp took care of the little fishes!!!!! bought one and then GONE!

right now i noticed the fungus get lighter in color almost like it's falling off with no signs of moving elsewhere. so i figured that as a good sign. i keep my temp at 78-80 in all my tanks i raised my qt tank to 81-82. the longnose btrfly with ich wasn't eating so it eventually died. i see...

i just reread what your were saying, calaxa. but i have gone to two other stores i am a fan of. an the ich is almost never heard of. reef encounter/absolutely fish. if they can do it so can the fish tank. customer satisfaction is aim. so you can blame the store, somewhat if it was caused by...

the fish tank location is notorious for the bad water parameters and such. i have stopped going there since finding more bad reviews. they have multiple dead fish everywhere. i've talked to previous workers from there and they've said the same. so ultimately can be said about the establishment...

I rather not disclose where i bought the fish since it was from a private seller and it could have been a freak accident. the fungi/virus/parasite was not that big. i did not have any other fish with that previously. i did have an outbreak of ich but i know for a fact it's not ich. i think i...

anyone?

the fungi/virus is on the very top middle portion i am currently feeding it mysis, brine shrimp, ocean nutrient pellet with garlic, and i also bought vitachem to help as well. phil as you can see from the picture looking at information or diagnosis for lymph. they don't look like the same

cotton substance on dorsal of my koran angel. I noticed one small cottony type substance on my angel after i got home from buying the fishy. from one small spot now has about 3. as mentioned in a previous post. I had an outbreak of ICK in the DT but all fish have been in the QT tank for two...

I understand the concepts and what is almost needed. unfortunately, I am an IT geek not a plumber/handy man with years of experience with this type of DIY. so sorry about the N00Bie questions. What I don't understand is the piping portion. The rubber piece OR (PVC) that goes into the hole...

thanks for the info. i will wait 4-6 weeks before putting the fish back into the DT! thanks for all the information! that link was LONG. sorry skimmed through most but very informative.
