    75G Office Tank

    Picture Update: P.S. I have a HOB filter on the left half of the tank. If I move it to the right half of the tank, do you think that will disturb the BTA? A significant amount of the flow comes from the power heads; I am not sure if moving the HOB filter to the right half of the tank would...

    What part of town do you live in?

    They have some serious reefing down there. I’ve always wanted to go to Omega Coral. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Mantis Shrimp

    At Reef Currents the GHAC was evangelizing this philosophy of raising only one thing in a tank and having it as an art piece. Mantis requires min 30G, per @ITreefer, but maybe a clam or something would be cool. I believe that’s what GHAC had displayed. Pretty rad concept. Sent from my iPhone...

    Nah. Don't really have a good spot for a decent sized tank. Plus, I tend to enjoy it more at the office. It's a good break. I just sit on the couch, listen to the water, and kind of disappear for a few minutes.

    Temperature at 84; no more white spots. Could I have been confusing something else with ICH? Could the fish just have been stressed from tank transfer?

    Are there any foster homes for fish while the DT is fallow?! 90 days is quite a long time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Haha! Thanks! The temperature is up to 84 in my tank. Fish seem fine. White spots almost all gone. Cycling QT. I will likely try to net all three fish sometime soon and place in QT with a slow ramp up to therapeutic levels of copper for 30 days. Then, I'll transfer back to DT. In the meantime...

    And this is why Marsh-Reef.Org is the best. Thanks, @webster1234. Any suggestions on how to get the damsel out?

    75G Office Tank

    I raised my temperature on Friday to about 82F. I did this because I put in some ArcReef Coraline Algae in a Bottle. I watched this scary YouTube video where they "dispelled ICH myths" one of them being that raising the temperature does not kill ICH. They explained the parasitic life cycle and...

    I may have ich in my new tank. My clown has white spots and has had them for about a week. I have a 10G QT setup, and want to start copper treatment (copper power). I’m planning on taking all three of my fish out and doing therapeutic copper in the QT for a month, then waiting a couple more...

    75G Office Tank

    Thank you both for your counsel! I finished filling it up yesterday. Stabilizing with bottled bacteria. Running skimmer tomorrow. Next livestock additions I’m planning are: a clean up crew from reef cleaners; a few zoas; an elkhorn; and a forest fire digi. I also want to add a BTA soon...

    75G Office Tank

    So, this office tank is the offspring of my first home project (info. here) I have transferred: 20 lbs. of live rock; 10 gallons of water; live sand; original 2 clown fish; original yellow tail damsel; small Rasta and Circus Circus zoa Frags heater; and 2 Tunze 6015 pumps. I purchased and...
