For the first couple of months after setting up my tank, I maintained phosphate levels at around .13 and everything seemed to thrive, so I kept it steady at that level. Over time, phosphates gradually increased to .23 but I didn’t see any changes in coral color or growth. Now at the 6 month...

I just got a small six line wrasse. Acclimated him to .25ppm copper (ramping up in 4 days to 2ppm). then put him into a 10 gallon QT by himself (with .25ppm copper). He has been almost like standing up, not really swimming and keeps hiding behind the filter and is staying at the top of the water...

I’ve had this pair 4-5 months no issues and eating well. Take a look at the stomach on the bigger one, it has been getting larger over past couple weeks. Just eating well or something going on?? Thanks

I started QT with Copper Power at 2.25 (Hannah checker) on 11/13/23 for a Sunburst Anthias and Gold Ring Bristletooth Tang (Indian). Anthias was doing great eating no problems. Started hiding mote than normal yesterday and slowed eating. This morning it was on its side barely alive and I had to...

I plan on picking up a Gold ring Yellow Bristle tooth tang, Blue Star leopard Wrasse, Fat Head Sunburst Anthias and possibly a radiant wrasse tomorrow. Can I follow the recommended QT (copper and Prazi ) protocols? for these guys?

CBB has been in QT with copper for 32 days and Prazi started last night after copper level to 0.62. This morning the nodules on Left pelvic fin and anal fin showed up. These were not there last night before Prazi started. What am I dealing with and what should I do? The water quality is good and...

I’m soon to be at 70 days fallow after a velvet outbreak. I have four surviving fish (yellow coris, lawnmower, red velvet fairy wrasse and a coral beauty) that made it through 35 days of copper and now another 35 days in observation and are in a QT tank together. I also have a Biota yellow tang...

I received 5 chromis from a reputable dealer that does pre-quarantine and pre-conditioning. These guys came to me having had a 1 hr formalin bath and Prazipro and Metronidazole at 2x recommended dose. They were shipped to me in methylene blue. I put them in my own QT with copper power (40...

So I just got gifted a bottle of this. I have an LPS and softies tank. The bottle clearly states its for filter feeding invertebrates but I could have sworn people use this for coral growth as well. My only reason for using this would be for my coral, not so much my invertebrates. Any thoughts...

Can anyone help me identify what’s this is on my Achilles? It’s been there a few days and doesn’t seem to be effecting his behavior but looks weird. Thanks

Quick sale of laser thermometer from vetteguy53081, with product received and working well to simply detect water temp by pointing unit at target and pulling a trigger for an LCD temp readout. Now, if he had Kessil A360WE’s for $200, he’d be da’ man...and I’d certainly buy from him again. :-)
