    EMERGENCY Need liquid encouragement…

    To make the short and sweet. I am a saltwater newbie. Been doing it for two months now. Stock included two clowns, yellow, watchmen, and pistol, red Cori’s wrasse, some snails and hermits, bangai cardinals…. and then I went to the fish store and got some freaking blue/green chromis. I told the...

    Copper Keeps Dropping

    I have some fish in a QT tank and I’ve been using copper power for the tank. All that is in the tank is a few pvc pieces for hides for the fish and a foam block for the filter. The copper levels keep dropping overnight. Last night the level was at 2 ppm and this morning it was at 1.09. I’m...

    Cupramine and Prazipro

    My fish just completed a 30 day long treatment of Cupramine at 0.5ppm last week. I have added Cuprisorb and Carbon in the tank to try to absorb as much copper as possible. I have also been doing more frequent water changes. The quarantine tank is 150 gallons so I am not able to do an extremely...

    Is it possible to mix multiple fish treatments at one time to attack a range of fish diseases?

    Is this Ich, velvet or perhaps flukes?

    Hello everyone! My bristletooth started having some white spots appear the other day after a power outage that shut off the tank for a few hours. Poor thing was stressed. At first it was a few, then more and then too many. I performed a 20% water change and tested the water, all good on that (0...

    Adding fish to quarantine

    I’m currently quarantining all of my fish and figured while I have the QT up and running it would be a good time to add a new fish. My LFS offered me a great deal on a Yellow Tang, he’s had them in the shop now for over a month, they’re all just under 2 inches, great color and eat well. My QT...

    Can you mix two types of copper medication?

    I’m running three QT tanks, and treated using Copper Power at first. Unfortunately I ran out and my copper reading is only 1 ppm on all three tanks. Long story short, I bought cuprimine instead because that’s what my LFS carries. Is it safe to mix Copper Power and cuprimine? It is also worth...

    Removing Copper

    I have two tangs that have gone through their 30 day copper treatment and are ready to be moved into the main display. Do I have to remove the copper in the quarantine (2.23) before adding them to the display or can I start the acclimation process without removing the copper?

    Best copper treatment products?

    I am going to be quarantining 5 fish in a few weeks. Those will be the only fish for 2 years minimum. I might upgrade tanks in the future, but that's a long ways away.I have Cupramine currently. I'm realizing that maybe I should have gone with copper power, which I'll pick up since it's only $5...
