yes it was and its fine now its just weird how it was acting its fully inflated and spread out.

so we just got the Anemone 2 days ago it wasn't the one we were going to get but the LFS didn't have the one we wanted but we found this one and it was hosting a clown fish when we were there so we have 2 Juvenile False Percula Clownfish. that we were hoping it would host but the Anemone keeps...

i purchased the Nutrafin test kit that has the basics ammonia (thinking its giving a false reading) PH, Nitrate, Nitrites, KH, i feel like im forgetting one but im not sure. not in front of the tests at the moment. and a refractometer. the reason i think im getting a false positive is the...

Thank you the only thing i was comparing is what they were trying to sell me they seemed to wanna sell me every test under the sun so i knew the basics so that's what i bought i came on here to just make sure what i had was sufficient or what all i needed to add as well as what brand.

ok i have the basic set up with refractometer and all that i just didn't trust how many tests the LFS was trying to get me to buy and i have yet to hear anything on the nutrafin tests the color chart seems to not match at all with the test results. so i was just double checking what the LFS...

so i know there are a lot of topics out there on this topic i have yet to find a list of the kits that would be needed for a Reef/Fish tank i have a nutrafin test kit witch isn't easy to read and i dont think the ammonia is accurate. i dont have a LFS nearby to take the water to have tested to...

it was recommended by the LFS Manager since we had a 3 hour drive to get home and about 6 hours before the rock could get into the water he said that enough of the critters and that in the live rock should die off and create enough ammonia to get they cycle going. and like i said it shot up to...

we are cycling with the live rock and sand it was recommended to me to not use the shrimp our ammonia started out at around .6 or so. we have 35 LBS of live rock and 40 LBS of live sand.

thank you since neather of us are big on starfish but i think our tank is on the right track ph is between 8.0 and 8.5 the color was in between them on the chart nitrite is .3 ammonia is .6 nitrate is 10 and kh is 150. im still looking for what i should expect through the cycle but from what i...

my question is i guess can anyone tell what it is exactly it looks to be a baby star fish (appx 2 cm in size) but we dont know if it is a good one for reefs and fish and if it is what we need to do with it since our tank is still extremely new.

well me and my wire have decided to start a 34 Gal tank for now and we are finding a lot of conflicting info for the cleanup crew all the pre-selected packs we found look like to much of a clean up crew to start with i know we are a few weeks off from adding them since the tank is only in the...

well as far as i can research and the folks at the store it will do more than what we currently want to do and will do what we want to do in the future. the question is the quality of the equipment it all seems nice and looks great but i cant seem to find what brands they are or anything on the...

well me and my wife were out looking at the equipment and we found the Red Sea Max S series 650 witch is a complete setup and we are wondering if anyone has experience with them and if the equipment they provide with it is a good setup.

we are looking to start with a reef tank and then after we get that established we would like to add the corals inverts and fish. we found a place that tailors to saltwater fish and is ranked in the top 30 stores in the us its one of 2 that i can find in minnesota but is about a 2.5 hour drive...
