  1. Many thanks for the offer. I'm still not yet decide whether I should shift it. If I need your pail I will let you know. Once again really appreciate the help. Thanks.
  2. Many thanks for the advice. It seems quite troublesome to shift it and also having some risk in loosing some LS. Not sure whether I should do it actually. My original idea is to take out 50% water, remove most of the LR, leave all fishes in and slowly push the tank. My floor is marble and I believe if just to move a little, it should not cause any problem, but now I need to move quite a lot and still require turning, which actually let me think twice....... My another concern is whether the cabinet will damage my flooring even though I was told the cabinet was built to allow some movement. Btw my tank and cabinet is about 2 years old and still in good condition. Thanks.
  3. Hi All Reefers, I need advise from all expert, I have an intention to shift my 4ft FOWLR tank (abt 400L) position for about 5 meters away but need a 90 degree turn. Any advise what will be the best and most easy method to do that? Do I really need to remove everything in the tank or sump in order to move it? My cabinet was made from N30. Appricate all advise given. Thanks.
  4. Thanks for all the valuable advices. It really help.
  5. Oh in that case how normally we setup a QT tank as I will not always have fish in the tank? Do we still need a filter or just using air stone pump? But we normally need new fish to be in QT for at least 2 weeks or more, how we maintain the water quality? Changing water everyday? I always thought that if the water is running, the nitrifying bacteria will still be around.....it seems that I was wrong. Thanks for the advice.
  6. Hi All Bro/Sis, Need some advise, I had recently setup a QT and using a Dymax filtering system. The tank has been through proper cycling process and ready to use. My question is if I have no fish inside, can I switch off the filtering system to cut off the noise (as it is a little noisy) as well as save some electric bill? When there's fish then I will switch it back on. Will it affect the good bacterial grow in the tank? Many thanks for any advise.
  7. Sorry to highjack this post.....how about video?? Thanks.
  8. Thanks for the advice. I have some questions while treating him in the QT. 1. After the treatment, do I need to change 100% of water or partial water will do? 2. After the treatment, will my filtering system require clean up and redo the cycling process again before I can put fishes? Hope the med will help. Thanks!
  9. No I didn't dose any med. Will stress cause fish not able to see? Anyway I don't think is stress as it look very peaceful in the beta box. He is eating (sucking) well with the flakes I feed him. His body color is still normal. Also If he can see he should able to notice my net when I trying to catch him.
  10. I got a purple tang from LFS but it seems to be blind. When he was in the QT, he kept swiming in circles and his mouth is always on above the water just like a dolphin. Later I transferred him to the display tank, he did the same thing. He sometime hide in a corner didn't swim around, once he started swimming will be in circles like dolphin. Other tangs in the tank had been poking him even their size are so much smaller. I had no choice but to put him into a Q box inside the tank. Btw is so easy to catch him as he seems not knowing there's a net going near him. Inside the box he became clam and peaceful. He didn't seem to know when I feed him and also not seeing the food, but when his mouth happened to touch the food (flakes), he will suck it in. This has been continue for more than few weeks. His body color is fine and his eyes look normal. Any idea what happen to him and any way to cure him?? Many thanks for the advice.
  11. He did not make it......at the end.... I only dose twice cupramine in my main tank but he seems very weak so i transferred him to my IQ5 which can consider a q-tank. he was recovered nicely after I quarantine him n treated him with yellow powder. He was eating well and his skin and fins have fully recovered. He was in IQ5 for more than 3 weeks and I was planned to put him back into my main tank but the timing was not right as I was going for holiday for 2 weeks. With such I moved him with IQ5 to my sis place n get my nephew to take care. When I back from holiday, he did look a bit weak but still eating. I then put him back in my main tank but by the following day, he was gone. Still not sure what happen though....sad...
  12. Thanks. So can I put him back in my display tank after that?
  13. Thanks for the advise. May I know normally how long should I treat him with the yellow powder? He is feeding ok (once a day) at the moment. His Body seems stop rotten but the torn area still not fully grown back...can it grown back?? His tail got a hole as well. How to know whether there's no more bad bacterial in his body?? Apperciate some advise. Thanks.
  14. Update on my French....he has been treated with ParaGuard since Sunday but I don't see any improvement. The water condition still bad which measured high ammonia of 4.0! Had been changing water everyday. Will want to try the ocean free yellow powder. Any advise where can I get this? Thanks.
  15. Many thanks for the advises. Are you saying by adding copper, it deteriorate the water quality? My French fins/body started rotten, I had removed him and put him in a peel with new water. I had also started to treat him using Seacham ParaGuard. Not sure whether this will help. Can I switch to the ocean free yellow powder if ParaGuard doesn't help? As for my main tank, all fishes seems ok and normal. I had continue to add cupramine but if that is not require, I will stop immediately. Appreciate any advise. Thanks!
  16. 3 days back some of my fishes (including French) kana white spot which i believe is ich. I have then decided to treat them using cupramine. I had started the first dose of 40ml for my 400l tank. After less than a day my french started to have such tumor appear on his body. Now he seems to be very weak and lying on the floor most of the time. I doubt he can make it through. The rest of the fishes now seem to be ok and back to normal. My question is 1. What kind of disease is this on my French? Anyway to save him? 2. Do I need to continue my copper treament? Any advise is highly appreciated! Thanks!
  17. Thanks for the advise. I tired to search around the web to understand what's flukes infection is but can't really get an clear answer. It seems tie to Ich. Any chance to explain further and most important is the treament method. Thanks!
  18. Just adding more info, the rest of my fishes are doing well...I have tangs, angels....etc and is a FOWLR tank. I also don't see anyone bully nor disturb him.
  19. I had brought a 5in queen angel recently together with a Asfur angel. The queen angel was eating and react normally like other fishes in the tank. About 4 days later, he started to react strangely. He is now always hiding behind the rocks and only occasionally swim to the front. His movement is also slower. During feeding, he did came out and join the rest trying to eat the food, but due to his slow reaction, he was unable to grab the food in most of the time. I had observed him closely and his body did not show any sign of parasite and his fins are all ok as well. This has been like that for 3 days. I'm very worry about him. Anyone has any advise what's happen to him and any method to cue him? I love this beauty and really don't want to loose him!!!
