No need to dechlorinate overnight or fer even 5 minutes. For 30 years, I have added dechlor directly to the tank, before refilling. You just need to add enough for the entire water volume of the tank, not just for the water you are adding. While this has worked for you( and probably many others, in...

Hey Welcome to the forum. This is a great read about fishless cycling http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/library/water-filtration/fishless-cycling/ Im not sure about the cories.

The best way to dose ip's is by the food. Gets right to the source. Praziquantel based meds are good for flatworms, Levamisole drugs are good for round worms, and Metronidazole is good for hexamita.

Not a predator but a very cool Locality tank(almost) wasp fish are cool, but you could...

Dr Tims worked well for me. The other option is to get used filter media from your fish store- assuming you trust it to be disease-free- and at the same salinity. It seems to work well for some and not so much for others. I do remember reading something by Dr Tim( i guess that's his name) about peo...

Hmmmm i wonder who that memeber could be :mrcool: ........... Thanks your Doryrhamphus excisus look very nice indeed. what was their feeding regimen and tank setup? How easy is it to sex these beauties? is there a difference in the pipes from the different localities red sea vs Indonesian? have you ...

I'm checking it out as we speak!!

sorry it was a formatting issue. i see what you wrote now. Generally when someone writes .021( full marine) the # 1.021 is understood, if below 1 writing 0.25 is best. ( or you will have a bunch of people scratching their heads :lol: ) a side note hydrometers are not super accurate, and i wouldn't e...
