| About Yourself: |
i have had fish tanks my entire life but always fresh water. i mde teh switch about 5 years ago. i get so much enjoyment from it, and i constantly learning about it. i welcome anyoen to contact me.
michael@trustmuch.com |
| Advice: |
im sure everyone says the same thing here, so i will try to add things here that most dont.
if you get a bad case of flatworms the only thing that works is to buy 1 velvet nudibranch per 10 gallons. do not use any chemicals for the flatworms because the toxins it releases can kill your coral.
the best way to treat ich i have found was using NO SICK FISH ICH. 1 drop per 35 gallons, but make sure you turn off the skimmer, and most important the uv steralizer, and remove any carbon in the filter. if you have a mud system you must use kick ich. good luck and anyone can email me asking me anything |
