    ich problem

    I think I dosed mine every day. Made the house smell like garlic for about a week. But then I was dosing 130g, or so. :) B

    ich problem

    I doubt it. I've added frozen food to the garlic/water mix before and haven't noticed any adverse affects on anything. B

    ich problem

    See above post. Yes you treat the whole tank. Ich will not affect your corals. Ich is present in pretty much any reef tank. Most fish can naturally fight it off as long as their immune systems are healthy, although some fish are more prone to outbreaks than others. There are different...

    ich problem

    Here's the garlic method I've used successfully copied from another board. I've posted it a couple times on here, but it took me a few minutes to find it again. Obviously in a nano you don't need to use as much. B I don't soak their food but instead add it directly to the tank. For my 75...

    12 line wrasse - good buy?

    So did you ever end up getting one of these guys? I just started seeing them again in the LFS around here, and wondered what you'd decided. B

    ???

    That's a majano anemone. http://www.melevsreef.com/pics/bta/not/majano.html http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthrea ... ost3693680 They tend to be as prolific as aiptaisa, and have as strong a sting. You can kill it with a kalkwasser paste, or injecting it with boiling water, or lemon...

    2 questions help needed

    No confusion here. Bristleworms are oppotunistic scavengers, much like green serpent stars. As long as there is sufficient detritus in the tank, and as long as they're relatively small they're not likely to attack even small fish. However if you feed the tank sparingly, (which most do with...

    ric question

    Nice. I've got a few in my 75g. They seem to be a bit hardier than some of the others. B

    bummer

    Didn't drop the camera. However the company is in NJ. Somehow I don't think that small claims court across state lines is gonna cost me less than a working used 5050. I could be wrong though. B

    bummer

    Yeah. Repair would run me about $450. Since the model is a couple years old I should be able to find one for around the $200 mark. I've been saving for a dSLR, but I didn't want to get rid of this one. I've got the underwater housing for it so that I can take with me scuba diving. This just...

    bummer

    My Olympus c-5050 zoom camera stopped working in June. Long story short, the warranty company, (repairtechinc), strung me along for the last 3 months and when I really wouldn't go away they finally came back and said that the problem was from the camera being dropped, so it isn't covered, and...

    Someone ate my Coral Banded Shrimp

    That's bizarre...But stuff like that happens. I've had a few inverts/fish go missing that I couldn't figure out. Sorry to hear it wasn't a molt though. B

    New to the forum

    Welcome to the site David. Best bet is to take her with you to the shops and get her interested in saltwater as well. Then you can plan the tank together. B

    NEW Sea Apple Question

    I believe they mostly sit there. However they'll move if they don't like where you put them. I haven't tried one in any of my tanks, just didn't figure the risk was worth the pretty color. B

    Yep, those are the four major ones. I wouldn't do it everyday, but maybe twice a week. B

    Bush's fishing pic from Louisana!

    Umm...He's not MY president. As far as I'm concerned, he's the state idiot, and I don't really want him back. B

    cycling new tank

    Not usually. Just put in your sand and LR, turn on your filter, turn off your lights for until your levels measure 0, and it shouldn't take long. B

    Lighting 2.5gl

    It'll work to light the fuge up....But it may not work to sustain macroalgae. Plants, (and corals), need particular wavelenghts for photosynthesis. There is some rumors of LED lamps that may come out in the next couple years that will be able to replace VHO/PC, etc... but they're still...
