Need professional help to move my 20 gallon coral tank from Westfield 169th and Springmill to 96th between Zionsville Road and 421/Michigan March 10 -15 Thanks

Thanks I only have coral will try fluconazole and nutrient redirection. I think a water change of 15% should help that. How often should I dose. I purchased a 10 tabs for 100 gallon. So I will dose 2 tabs for my 20 gallon after water change. Then again??? When??? Thanks Much John

Recently installed an RODI system Yes my tank is only 20 gallon So payback is a little down the road but I am retired and have the time Question. I use a circulation pump and a heating element and a refractometer to make my solution If I make 6 gallon and store 3. How long will the salt etc stay in solution? Yes I will need to raise temp Thanks

A little research and calculation A 125 gallon tank has approx. 22 square feet of glass. 1 sq/ft of 1/4 glass weights 3.27 lbs or ~ 72 pounds Now add the frame and its less than 100 for the tank Now 125 gallon of water is ~ 1125 pounds Your problem "aint" the weight of the glass Now add sand rock etc

I will be shortly be starting to process my own water RO/DI 1) Salt specs I see many suggest specific gravity of 1.026. Instant Ocean salt suggest 1.022. Help. I have a good refract meter so measurement accuracy is probably not an issue. 2) Now that I will be making RO/DI I will have removed trace elements...etc etc. I already have Brightwell Aquatics Replenish which contains a loooong list of trace elements. Suggested dose is 10 drops per 25. Am I ok with that? 3) Should I dose with iodine say 1/2 drops per 5 gallon?? 4) Missed anything 5) I appreciate all the help provided during my newbie period...which may never end. 6) if you have time check out my gallery pics... Much Thanks John
