Yes, get a new LFS. Suppliments do not need to be added to most tanks although they make a lot of money for the LFS in sales that are not needed....
That's true if you are using a floating glass hydrometer that is calibrated at a different temperature than the tank water is at. However, the...
Hello, and welcome to the forum and the hobby! Can't help you with your RO as I only use tap water.
Filter produces nitrates, doesn't get rid of nitrates. Quality live rock produces nitrates, and also processes the nitrates to remove them. The...
IMO, you don't have enoughl live rock for that size tank and the bioload. When using base rock, you need even more rock because the base rock is...
What's the point? You have to bring the levels down to 20 before using the product but at that point you don't have a problem any more, or can...
Before you get into coppering those fish, find out if they are all tolerant enough for the copper. Somewhere, I read about fish that were not...
Buy a Roughneck Rubbermaid container, like maybe the 26g size, as you don't have to use a tank. I wouldn't copper any tank that is to contain...
I suspect the header will come back again before long. I don't have much need to start a post very often on any boards I frequent. I don't change...

IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED to allow hatch water to come into contact with the system water. Cysts harbour nasty bacteria that can, at worst case scenario,...
I think something must have gotten lost in transit between the article and your telling because it doesn't make any sense to me. Can you post a link...
Believe me, if you have a resistant strain, even 1.075 will not cut the mustard. To run at 7.5 though you have to KNOW and MAINTAIN the s.g. to keep...
In my case, I already have the IceCap SLR's and the IceCap 660 ballast, and am looking for Santa to bring me the Giesemann 54W lamps. After 13...
To rid the main tank of ich, leave it fishless for six weeks and the parasite will die off as it is unable to complete the life cycle without a fish...
T5 HO with reflectors. (SLR's)
In 13 years, I've not feed my corals, but I feed the fish and I believe that my corals get enough from either that fish food or it's resultant stages...
I forgot to mention also, that Randy has been doing extensive investigations into the problems with the elegance type coral and the last I read was...
