Yeah, I know to quarantine all new fish. I always do. And, I know it can take that long for it to die off in the main, if not longer. I will go and buy a bigger tank for my qt. Those are the only 2 fish I have. I don't rush things. Thank goodness I am not impatient.
Alright, I know for sure now that my fish have black ich. I see my tang with the spots. So, I am setting up a QT. I have a small 5 gallon I can set up that a friend has. Will that be alright or do I need a bigger size. I only have a small yellow tang and a small clown.
I think I have read everything on this website. She has been stung by the frogspawn before and I think it is the same black spots. I just finished reading Dave's posts where he blew his sand and detrius all over the place and had things die. It ended up being his lights, but when I put in the...
I haven't thought about an electrical problem. This started the day after I put in the new powerheads. Could they be producing to much power (electricity) in the tank? I am down to 2 fish. My clown and the new yellow tang that has only been in for 3 days now. I think the spots on the clown are...
I am thinking if it was problems with my sandbed from the move or problems with my water (like toxins from the corals) that the fish would have died right away. Not a month later, right?
I have always had a QT and I haven't added ANYTHING (not even coral) in about 8 months. I am not even sure if it is black ich. I am just stumped as to why two fish just died with no signs.
oh...and I have seaweed and I mix garlic in with my food that I feed daily
Strange, well my loving wonderful husband bought me two new powerheads last week. The next day is when my blue hippo died. I thought maybe I blew her to death. Then this morning with my chromis. Well, he felt really bad for me about my Dori dying (more for my son who has been crying). So...
I just finished testing my water:
Temp-80
Salinity-1.023
Nitrates-0
ammonia-0
phosphates-0
carbonate hardness-196.9 ppm
couldn't test my ph because I broke my becker and I don't have another one that large. I also noticed black spots on my clown. I can't tell if they are from my...
I haven't posted on here in a while. I moved my tank about 1 month ago. I have been checking my paremeters every 2 days and haven't had a shift in anything. Will post #'s later. However, about 1 week ago I lost my blue hippo tank and this morning I lost my blue-green chromis. They act completly...
Nitrates are zero, everything in the tank is doing fine. Actually my corals look great. But it is time for a waterchange anyway and I will clean out that skimmer in the morning.
So, I have been keeping a filter pad (polishing pad), one side blue and one side white..whatever that is...in the left chamber of my bakpak skimmer for a couple months. I change it out about every two weeks. So, I just looked at it two days ago and thought it was about time for a change because...
Moto- I think all of that just went right over my head. But good for you for doing it. I have finally gotten all of the "burnt" smell out of my house by this morning. However the wood on the doors of my fish tank really smell. I think it is there for good.
