I have a hot pink digi that sits in the highest,brightest part of my reef, 8 inches from an MP 40 and directly under where the flow from the return breaks against the overflow. Throughout my months...

Ich is tricky like that. There's lots of people who reach stability with it in their system, rarely seeing so much as a single cyst for months or years. Fish can develop a partial immunity to it over...

Genius idea. In my dream build, my fish room would have built in tank transfer tanks with sloped bottoms and valved holes at the bottom for draining. I'd also have one of those hand held restaurant...

If it was rock that had been in a tank for any amount of time, I'm not surprised. Cleaning and bleaching the rock will remove most of the life on it, but bleach is notorious for making things look...

He's a slow eater, but I find the current is more his enemy than other fish. If you turn the pumps on your tank down when you feed he would be fine. I've got a large doliatus rabbit, a powder blue...

Don't they have to add stabilizers to the 35% stuff as well? I thought H2O2 without a stabilizer present decomposes rapidly regardless of the concentration?

I really don't think so. At least not from predation. I watch my tank at night a lot, those worms never go near corals. They don't so much as crawl on their bases, let alone crawl all the way to...

I'm gonna be looking closely at just how much food the worms are eating vs the fish today, or at least looking in to foods that don't sink straight to bottom when the pumps are off. I barely had any...

yes, but I'm not sure I'd put 30% H2O2 directly in a tank, that stuff is crazy reactive. Most accounts I've read of people who use it for whatever purpose dilute it down to 3% before letting it come...

good idea! I just cut up a fine nylon filter sock that didn't fit (d'oh!) and put some food in it. We'll see how many are inside it by the time I got to bed!

Dosed at any particular time of day?
