    Tank fallow, new tank, keep fallow?

    Hi, I have a fallow 55 gallon tank with inverts and corals in it. I have 2 clowns in copper. While all this is going on, I decided to upgrade to a waterbox 110.4. I am wondering if I should move my rock over right away and forgo the fallow period, since I won't be QT inverts or corals, just...

    Hello Looking for a place to stop the pain. lol

    Hey everyone. I am Vann. I really tried to do it right with no live rock and going slow, but I am pretty sure I got some blue hippo tangs with ich and what a ride since then. Being new I didn't know what ich was and in trying to figure it out I have lost more than I want to admit to. Now...

    To Fallow or not to Fallow

    Hi all, I have a fairly new 180G tank setup that I probably stocked way too fast and did not have a QT process. I cycled the tank for two weeks and then added 6 fish about 2 weeks apart. I tried to find a reliable LFS to purchase my fish from, but after 2 months I have had some losses. 1 onyx...

    Ammonia Sources for Fallow Tanks

    I'm putting my DT through a fallow period, as of yesterday, and I am concerned with maintaining ammonia levels in the tank. Tank now only has 7 Mexican turbo snails, and 3 cleaner shrimp. My plan was to maybe drop a squirt or two of mysis in the tank at night and feed the corals as usual...

    What to do with frags after velvet or brook ?

    i started up a second tank and put all of my zoa frags in there, added a couple fish. A few weeks later I added another fish and within a few days everything came down with what I believe was velvet and I wasn’t able to save them sadly. I’ve just been running the tank with the zoa frags in it...

    Ich Fallow Period and Seahorses

    @Humblefish @melypr1985 I could use some advice and your expertise. Despite being quite careful with a solid QT process on almost all of my fish, I ended up with ich in my dual reefer set up. I expected to just manage it with a huge UV and selecting fish that could withstand it. Unfortunately...
