Welcome back! I live in Ohio too! :)
Hello, I have replied to your pm. However, I want to be clear that there are some that claim success of defeating crypt with better fish...
:)You're welcome. Did you need any more help?
As it has been stated, inverts aren't susceptible to crypt. However, they can host it if they come from a system that is infected with it. As long...
I posted my previous post at the same time you did. Please see my above post. Good Luck,
I wrote an article about crypt quite some time ago- http://www.3reef.com/forums/diseases/ultimate-saltwater-ich-crypt-info-post-66950.html. I have...
Do you have a hospital tank?

He is... Before I got him, I literally never had to do any changes (and ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates were always 0), I only had to dose...
[media] What you are looking at is a filterless system, and I only do water changes every few months. I plan to get rid of the puffer and begin...
Hmm.. Technically clownfish and chromis are members of the damselfish family. :P
If it is PH shock, it would kill them around four or so days (usually a little sooner, but four is within reason) after introduction. I was simply...
Every fish has difference metabolic rates, and it is not safe to assume that all of your fish will make it through a nine day fast. Tangs are very...
