    Frustrated

    Just a quick update: I moved all 3 from the bucket to the tank. The tank showed 0 ammonia. They all had advanced neurological issues. One of them died within a hour of placing it in the tank. A second was dead by morning. I still have the last one hanging on. It shows intermittent signs of...

    Frustrated

    Hi everyone, I appreciate all of the feedback and suggestions. Below is what I have done and my plan of action. I immediately dosed prime when I found out I had the ammonia in the tank. After getting an ammonia hit on the fishless tank and no ammonia on my RODI water, I searched for the...

    Quarantine Method

    Hi all, I'm getting near to my first fish purchase. I've gone cross-eyed trying to review a suitable quarantine method. Tank transfer method vs. copper vs. observe then treat if only needed. Also, Copper powder, coppersafe, vs cupramine. What have you had the most success? Prazi seems to be...

    Would 4 Hydra 26's cover a standard 210 gallon? 72"LX24"WX29"H I understand this would blow my $1K budget. I just don't know how many is good. Billy

    I think I've decided to either go T5 or a T5/MH combo. What size fixture would you run on a 72' tank? Thanks! Billy
