    Need advice on treating Kole Tang for possible disease

    yep, I know about the sponge and kept one in my sump for a very long time. The thing is, a small-ish sponge in a simple small filter just does not seem to be nearly enough to handle denitrification even in 10G tank. I might be mistaken of course. Also I have done copper in the past and have seen...

    Need advice on treating Kole Tang for possible disease

    Thanks aqua-nut but its too late, the fish withered away and died over night. The onset was very quick. May be I should have done preventive treatment with copper and/or other things right when I got it, like some authors recommend. And yes, I need bigger QT. My problem is lack of available...

    Need advice on treating Kole Tang for possible disease

    Thanks for the advice gimmito, I just posted on ReefFrotntiers. Fidel: yes of course I'll do that. I read somewhere that copper sticks to the carbonate rocks and that makes keeping concentration right very hard. I'll remove them.

    Need advice on treating Kole Tang for possible disease

    I;ve got this fish 3 weeks ago. It looked ok, active, good color. Fish spent 1 week at the fish store before I got it (they had records). The fish is about 4 in long. I put him in the quarantine tank (10G) for observation. I did not treat with anything since the fish did not show obvious signs...

    Nudibranch for Aptasia

    I really recommend Matted Filefish ( http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+30+2562&pcatid=2562 ) I have tried Berghias in my 180G tank but did not see much of the difference. You really need to buy a lot of them and that turns way too expensive. Copperband is probably a great...

    The New Forum is Here!

    The new platform looks great and works much faster. Really appreciate your hard work Denzil ! I cant access "private" forums, although I have paid my 2013 dues. I get the "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action." error. I can see threads but can't see the posts...

    Opinions on AquaMaxx EcoMaxx EM300

    I just found this: http://skimmerfootprints.com/ very neat "calculator" that allows you to find a skimmer model that fits in given footprint. Great resource.

    Opinions on AquaMaxx EcoMaxx EM300

    yeah, the 6000 looks great but is probably too big. The 3000SSS should probably fit but just barely. It is powered by "Bubble Blaster HY-3000s" pump. I have no idea what it is. Does anyone have any opinion on it ? Where do you get spare parts ?

    Opinions on AquaMaxx EcoMaxx EM300

    My tank is 180G, plus two refugiums about 20G each plus frag tank about 15 or 20G. I figure skimmer should be rated to at least 300G
