  1. Running protein skimmer??????

    hey we had this argument a few months back about running a skimmer or not for 24/7 and I guess there are benefits, but I have the same set up as you do. 125 gallon tank, maybe a little more live rock than you and a 35 gallon fuge and I run my skimmer on the night cycle, not 24/7 about 14...

  3. Tang for a 135 gallon or 180 gallon?

    I would think you would be OK with a Hippo tang in a 135 or a 180, also you would probably be able to do a NASO or a Unicorn in a 180. I have a small vlemengi (don't know how to spell it) in a 125 he has almost doubled in size in 6 months and they say they get really big. I may have to...
  4. Question from a newby.

    you can ad a clean up crew as long as you have stuff to clean up, maybe you have some algea on the glass already and stuff like that. but if you have live rock and lights on already then you can add cleaners.
  5. Question from a newby.

    I read some of the reviews you posted!!! thanks, I did have issues with them. but once again I still have the fish they shipped me over a year ago. NUB I wouldn't use my suggestion now that people have come out to dispute them. I don't have enough expirience with them to back them...
  6. Question from a newby.

    hahaha, aquacon sucks huh? I only used them once and they screwed up my order but the fish were healthy!! too funny. I only ordered once online and picked aquacon!!! haha
  7. Question from a newby.

    he nub what kind of filtration are you using? just curious I ordered from this place, there was a mix up on the order (a misunderstanding) but aside from that all the fish I ordered from them came in perfect healthy condition and are all still alive right now in my tank. every fish I bought...
  8. Help! Ich attack!! :(

    sorry you lost the fish.... you shouldn't have an ich outbreak if you wait out the display for a month or so and use the qt tank for new additions. I have my qt tank dosed with copper and the salinity the same as my display so there isn't much of a acclimation time when it is time to move them.
  9. Help! Ich attack!! :(

    or you could keep the salinity level exactly how it is and dose with copper. don't put the cleaner shrimp in the copper tank!!! if the tang is eating regularly and swimming good, you should be ok but if he looks lethargic and loss of appetite you might be in trouble. good luck!
  10. Help! Ich attack!! :(

    well live and learn, that is all. I disagree with the smaller fish being the better choice. I think that depends I have always thought that the larger the fish the stronger to survive. also you can get your salinity down some at this point to help out how come you don't go buy a skunk...
  11. Help! Ich attack!! :(

    1. do you have a cleaner shrimp or a cleaner wrasse??? 2. what is your salinity level right now?? 3. temperature??? 4. have a UV sterilizer with the new 120? one thing is this is 3 months with this tank, IMO/IME it isn't fully established. I didn't feel comfotable with mine at 3 months...

  17. MH bulb, Please comment

    Portuguese is the official language of Brazil. English, French and Spanish are also spoken. Brazil is unusual in being South America's only non-Spanish speaking country, a legacy of the Portuguese colonial past. The Brazilian Amerindians also have a rich linguistic heritage, although a fraction...
