  1. Here we go... Plenum or DSB

    I've had both types of set up and never had problems. Never had lots of creatures in the substrate, like people say we would need to achive success. Cucumbers and that's it. Never had those systems for more than 2 or 3 years thought. I've tried with small grain size and medium type (2 to 5 mm)...

  4. Where does the idea that ich is present in all aquariums com

    esmithiii: "So you are saying that you never add anything to your tanks without A) medicating it or B) qarantining it for at least a month..." Yes, that's correct, and we shouldn't make a big deal out of it. This should be considered more than normal practice. "...How many tanks do you have...
  5. Where does the idea that ich is present in all aquariums com

    Hi, "...That is why it is present in almost all tanks." And it shouldn't be. Yes, you'll need more tanks. Don't forget that if you quarantine the inverts, you need to finish that quarantine without put nothing in it that tank that could bring new parasites. In other words: buy one more coral...
  6. Where does the idea that ich is present in all aquariums com

  7. Where does the idea that ich is present in all aquariums com

    Yes, any rock, gravel, plant or invert could bring parasites to your tank. even natural water, if not properly filtered could. They could come in the mucus of some inverts, for example. Again Quarantine is the solution. Quarantine all new stuff before put in a tank with fishes. Parasites are not...
  8. Where does the idea that ich is present in all aquariums com

    Hello, Tsc, tsc. If you don't introduce the parasite in your system you'll not have to deal with it! Quarantine all organisms is the solution. It is impossible for the parasite to survive for a certain period of time if there is no fish to feed on (this time will depend on parasite and system)...
  9. Illegal animals in Hawaii

    I'll probably be there at the library on Sat. Need to know the time of the presentation. Thanks, Grandis.
  10. Illegal animals in Hawaii

    Hello, To begin it is hard to understand why they allow fishes and do not allow inverts. Both can destroy the hawaiian marine habitat. The permit to the Waikiki Aquarium comes from, I believe, a reputation and respect for their serious work. Besides, it's an "UH's business". I used to not...
