I dropped the salinity level to 1012 and surprisingly an hour later, it's swimming around. The lower density probably makes it easier for him to 'breath' n reduces the stress....I think. U r probably rite - I m not adding any medication now given his weak state. The last time I did that to a Racoon, it died a few hours later. Will probably monitor over the next few days, with regular partial water changes and hope for the best.

Hi, anyone can offer any solutions, pls help. I bought a Golden Pymy Angel yesterday and placed it in a 66 ltr quarantine tank (plastic) with a canister filter I took from my main tank (I assume this should provide enuf biological and mechanical filter). The water is also aerated and lighted with a small PL light. Temp is about 27 degree Celcius. I hvn't checked the parameters but assume it's ok since I took water - half from main tank and half newly mixed. I do not hv any rocks or sand in the quarantine tank except a few large PVC pipes. It was perfectly healthy (at when I look at it) when I 1st bought it, BUT now after 24 hours, the angle is lying on its side and appears to be breathing heavily. I also noticed some white spots appearing. Any help or suggestion wat I can do or wat's wrong with it. Shld I try hypo or ICK medicine? I m afraid at its current weak state, any treatment might just push it 'over the edge'. Thanks.

Hi, I m just curious. Would u care u share why the seio pumps (eg Seio 820) cannot be used (or not recommended) with the wavemaker?

Hi.... For me, I did the 2pin to 3pin switch for my 1st chiller (Resun CL 280) and all my Ehiem pumps. Incidentally, the chiller was the one that caused the electrical outage in my case. At least for the devices I mentioned above, inside the cable insulation are three smaller wires ie Live wire (red or brown), Earth wire (Green or Green/Yellow) and Neutral wire (Black or Blue) - even if u just c a 2pin plug connected. Just cut the cable near where the two-pin plug is and u will see the three wires (coloured as described above) inside. Then simply buy a three-pin plug and connect accordingly. BUT a word of caution - be very careful that u do not connect the wrong wires to the wrong points in the plug. As in all electrical works, be careful that know what u are doing or get someone who knows to do it for u.

Hi, I had that problem once and it was caused by one of the devices which had no 'earth' connection - this is the device with two pins plug instead of three pins that hv 'earth, live and neutral' wirings. I subsequently changed the two pins plug to a three pins plug and the problem was solved. If I were u, I would start my trouble-shooting with those devices u hv, which hv two pins plugs (eg pumps, chiller). Oh yes, 'cut or damage electrical cable' like one of the bros mentioned here, is also another possibilities. Just the other day I find out that the insulating rubber of my Tunze cable has been slightly scrapped off by the edge of the tank hood - do u guys realise that the edges of new tank hoods even if they are made of wood, can be very sharp.

UPZ your sales bro.....it seems the inhabitants of your tank hv grown since I last saw them.

The following link might serve to answer your questions. The link was posted by one of the bros here. I find it very informative on ICK and it also tackles the question - Is ICK always present in our aquaria? MarineICK On keeping the Blue Tang, I had one for awhile and it developed ICK and died shortly after........that was before I read the above link

Hv one purple Tang with ICK but eating well. But I m trying hyposalination to see if it gets better. One more week, if not ok, u can hv him......provided I can catch him.

Look for Mr Lim @ 91065198 fr Arofanatics. Did my 4x2x2.5 with walnut cabinet and hood. Excellent job and stick to the schedule!

Chiller reserved for dt8666.

Bro, I hv almost similar problem with u. Recently I moved from a 3 ft to a bigger and deeper 4ft tank. Although I used back the LR (lots of it) and some of the old sands with good bacteria, the water parameter must hv deteriorated badly as I also got white spot problems in the new tank. After I introduced a powder blue tang, the fish developed whitespots and spread to the others within a few days. Now, my Asfur, yellow tang and flame angel - which I hv for as long as 1 year - all 'went up lorry' (died) alreadi. I hv been treating tank with AquaPharm ProSeries CureIch for about a week now. My Racoon, blennies, damsel and clown seem to be fighting the ICK. One of the clown looks bad and I don't think going to make it. I understand I hv to continue treatment for at least three weeks. I also installed a UV. Hopefully, things get better for me....n u too.

Upz ....anyone??

Yes, bro. It comes with everything so u need not purchased anything else. The pump it's using is an Ehiem - not sure what model but a smal and quiet one - this provides the 'circulation'. I m using Bio-Ocean media and I m selling everything, everything together Couldn't find ARM media then.

Upz for u bro

Upz for sales. Price negotiable.
