    Having a semi major issue

    i would do a vacuum of the bottom. any thing i have read said that the liquid removers bond to the phosphate and sink to the bottom or get removed by the skimmer. vacuuming may help remove it. also i would do a couple large waterchanges and put in fresh charcoal and rinse real well or change...

    What are these spots?

    should heal on its own as long as what ever caused it doesnt bother him again. keep your water quality up to allow him to heal without getting infection. keep an eye out at nite when the lites are out because whatever it is thats probably when its active. if you do have a cirolanid isopod...

    Red Slime, I'm going Crazy

    i use that red sea no3:p04-x phospate reducer and i find that it doubles the crap coming out of my skimmer. i had an on-off cyno problem too. started using the red sea n0p0 and it cleared up. took a couple or 3 wks though. also i moved my powerheads around to get more flow and i cut back on...

    New build arrived today !

    seeing as Australia is a british colony you would probably use the imperial measurement, same as canada. 4.54 litres to a gallon. so your tank is 254 gallons over here in canada. in the states their gallon is smaller, 3.78 litres, so down there its 302 gallons. hey i wonder if its...
