    Red Slime remover - to be or not to be?

    Wouldn't it ne better to siphon out as much Cyano as possible before using Red Slime Remover. This will prevent a large die off and not foul the tank to much hopefully.

    Help!! I got Ich from a new fish! What do I do?

    You can also get fresh garlic cloves and set them in the tank to saturate the water. I have hung 4 cloves in 55g tank. Some fish will peck at it but the idea is for it leach into the water. Your skimmer may go nuts with this approach.

    Help!! I got Ich from a new fish! What do I do?

    Most meds are not invert safe. I doubt the shrimp will get rid of all the ich on your fish. You may need to quarantine the fish and treat separately. There is a product called "No Sick Fish" suppose to be reef and invert safe but is expensive. I have no idea how good it is. Here is an article...

    Washing your filter socks...

    Maybe to obvious but I turn mine inside before washing. I use a small amount of bleach in the washer with them. They are easier to manipulate when wet. I let them air dry for several days before using.

    Removing An Overflow?

    I did that with a 75g I used for box turtles before setting up a pen outside. Exactly as stated before a razor blade works well. Be careful you don't scratch the glass like I did. I cut small pieces of plexi-glass and glued top bottom with aquarium silicone, you can glue bottom instead or both...

    Moving a Bubble tip anemone
