Hi all, I am doing a fallow to rid my DT of ich, have all my fish in QT and am dosing Seachem copper cupramine. It is pretty hard to differentiate the shades of blue on my Salifert copper test kit. I believe it is showing .5. I am going to compare with an API copper test I remember I have, and I...

Hello. I’m thinking of adding a dream angel to my fish only tank when the time is right. I was wondering which one people would recommend and why between the Conspicuous angel and the Clarion angel?

My normally peaceful tank had some kind of Game of Thrones outbreak on Thursday which carried over until Friday. Not sure who was the original instigator but my whip fin fairy wrasse had a big gash on his side Thursday evening (fed heavily then sent them all to bed early.) Friday afternoon I...

I'm in the process of trying to defeat a velevet outbreak in my DT. Getting a big enough QT tank set up to try to keep everyone as healthy as possible. That isn’t going to happen until this weekend as I have very limited resources and have to work through Friday and on call all this week. My...

does anyone know if metroplex will affect cu test readings? Or if any other Med when used with cu will interfere with test readings? Haven't been able to find this info during research?

I picked up this beautiful healthy lineatus a couple of weeks ago. Long story short, he was getting picked on by my huge established leopard wrasse, so I put him in a QT to recover (no meds). He was in the 10g qt for a week and was eating aggressively (Even pellets). I woke up this am and he was...

Ok...so I was cleaning my glass this morning before the lights came on and it must have spooked my yellow belly tamarin. He jumped out of the tank and landed in a small 1 inch space between my sump and stand. I had to drain the entire sump in order to move it enough to get him out. The process...
