Who Gives A Fish Forums

Yeah, my last betta freaked out when I tried to adjust the pH too fast. Learned that lesson the hard way. Slow and steady wins the race.

My tap water's all over the place, so I switched to RO water and remineralize it. It's a bit extra, but my fish seem way happier. Maybe cut your tap with RO if the swings are bad?

So my snowflake moor is really coming along, teaching him to swim up to the top for food, don't worry the tank's sealed off. Got some new additions, a yellowbell and domino damsel - actually just the yellowbell now, my eel's not a fan of black fish, took out the 4 stripe damsel too, just killed and ...

my skimmer and water are fine, all parameters are in check. i was feeding him frozen krill and glass shrimp, he loved those. wouldn't touch raw shrimp and no store around here had silversides. did eat a few of my damsels though. talked to an old timer at my lfs and he said lionfish are wild caught ...

I was thinkin of gettin 2 more damsels and some more liverock while savin up for some nicer fish. I've had the lion for a month and a half now, so it's weird that all of a sudden this happens. I mean the ghost shrimp and all my other stuff are doin perfectly fine, just seems weird that he went down ...

last night he just floated around the top of the tank near the powerhead, didn't seem too interested in food. this morning I woke up to find his body rolling across the bottom of the tank. no idea what happened. he was taking food from tongs just fine, and I even got some glass shrimp for him to ...

my tank's finally up and running, and the specific gravity was spot on initially. then i added 20lbs of liverock and it shot up - go figure. did a partial water change with fresh declorinated water, but it's still a tad high. got my first 3 inhabitants - 3 damsels (3 stripe, blue, and yellow bell ...

it's not as complicated as people make it out to be. i managed to get my marine tank up and running in just two weeks. first off, i filled the tank halfway with water from my hose, added some dechlorinator and conditioner, and mixed in my salt. my tap water is already purified and dechlorinated, so ...

I'm with you on not dosing meds in the main tank, I'm going to take out the zoa colonies I can manage. Sadly, some of the rocks are massive and the zoas are all over the bases of other corals, so it's a bit of a challenge. Hopefully it won't be a year-long process... these zoas have been thriving ...

Does the package instructions say each packet treats 10 gallons of water? I'm just double-checking.

Sorry to hear Furan-2 didn't quite work out for your tank, Kyle. I'm curious - has anyone figured out how long Zoapox stays in the system after the infected polyp dies? What's the incubation period ...
