    Disappointment

    I'm actually using a hydrometer left inside the tank at all time so that i can read the salinity whenever. I know many says that they arnt accurate but the ich seems to be fading away and the fishes dont seem to be stressing at the moment. Im sure it will hatch and go thru all of its stages...

    Disappointment

    Well, as of now, Salinity is at about 1.015 on my host tank. The 2 tangs are doing marvelously fine and the hawkfish is still sitting around doing nothing as usual. They are all eating fine. My Clown fishes doesnt seem to be too happy with the water salt content but they arnt doing bad either. I...

    Disappointment

    honestly, no offense given to you guys, after having read the description on the site's product labeling, it seems as if they really are aimed to giving the fish a fighting chance from ich and that it would not consume it's life. But to say that this product will remove and kill ich from the...

    Disappointment

    caught him! beginning treatment as of now. SG 1.026, will change out with freshwater over the course of 48 hours until i reach 1.015 and see how that goes. From then i'll try to strictly maintain that for 6 weeks or so i guess. Hopefully it works. Boring to see a fishless tank from stupidity or...

    Disappointment

    I will try to catch all the fish later on tonight when i get back. I just bought a 55 Gallons at petco for 1 dollar / gallon. I'll be using that for a hospital. This morning before i left, i observed the fish and they seem to be ok still. The percs and hawkfish are still ich-visibleless and then...

    Disappointment

    I am so disappointing in myself for not taking things a bit slow. I have had my 20 gallon for 8 months and my 4 fishes are doing perfectly fine. Made a 72 bowfront about 2 month ago and all seems well until....i became hasty and added a new fish. I had a small yellow tang, 2 true percs and a...

    Tree like things on rock.

    I dont think its wise to scrub them off...it will travel around your tank and stick to other rocks and easily/quickly grow there unless u suck them out as you tweezer if off

I have a fluval 404 running as well except right now i CANNOT get crystal clear water, there still seems to be things tat looks like dust particles...

    too much carbon?

    So I was thinking since i have many empty salt buckets, what if i was to buy about 3-4 gallons worth of carbon gravel and pads and throw it in the 5 gallon with a decent powerhead through it? Would that be too much carbon or is that enough for me to last half a year without changing it?

    Test kit and color of room light

    Ya, been using a white wall as my background behind the color card with the tube over it. I want to try other methods because i'm tired of dripping fluids in the API tubes haha, they keep dripping out when u shake it. Shooty caps thats why. During the day I get a reading of 8.2 and before the...
