Crap !!! I finally got my new fish acclimated yesterday after a psyco trip through the mail - - i don't think the snails are going to make it, but ill give em a day or two to see what they do.....the clowns are doing great!!!!! but today my my daughters boyfriend {seirial32 on the fresh side} calls me and askes if my tank is supposed to be at 70 degrees? AAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH - -I had unplugged some stuff to do the acclimation and left the heater unplugged all night - - I took the two smaller filters out when I got home tonight and put all the mech pieces into a bigger Hagen 110 HOB filter so I had to add about 1 1/2 gallons of water to the system --- so i used a little warmer water - - -man im trying hard to kill these lil fellas dispite myself...lol Boss

boss your having a bad day like me i come home from school and gaze deeply into my tank and sea the dreaded saltwater ick in a reef tank, tear

man - -that sucks, sorry to hear that............now i'll really piss ya off - -without a doubt according to your profile you have easily twice as many fish in that tank as you should - - i would immeadiately address filtration double or triple it if possable - - thin down the hard to keep specimins i.e the manderian although beautiful, very hard to keep, i bet he's not a happy fishie, lol i con't speak to a cure for ich other than some water changes and get the bioload balanced - -im sure others with more kowledge than I can help with specific treatment for the one you have infected....Good luck bud......i hope to read good things in the next week or so from you, Snowboss

10 % water change in a regular maint cycle is perfect...... I've never heard the sump being figured in althougb i could be wrong for fish stocking - -my opinion is "a 4 person household requires a 1000 gallon septic tank - - if i put a 2000 gallon septic tank that doesn't mean 8 people will fit in my house" make sense? - - also I try to figure stocking by how much each fish needs ...for example a tang requires A LOT more room to swinn around than say a blenny - - so how does the 1 fish per 10 gallon figure fit there? {I'm asking, as I don't know} these are just my thoughts and opinions - -very good people in here though listen and make an informed choice on action bud....Boss

well i want to stress the service and product from liveaquaria is beyond description - -i had a bad deal with the shipper ......starts with Fed and ends with Ex, lol - -liveaquaria has already creadited me for the snails and I have 13 more days on the clowns ....So I still stand behind them and will buy from them again for sure, Boss

Heads up Boss, the future's bright a head. Do me a favor man... Next time try petsolutions. You'll be able to set up the deliver day, the way you want to. UPS rules...
