I would not pour ammonia in my tank. All you need to do is put the shrimp in the tank and yes you can put in a filter sock of some sort just to make it easier to remove it. Give it a day or so and start testing your water daily. It's important that you keep an eye on your results so that you...

I don't think I would risk losing my clowns. Especially if the lion is pretty large. The trigger is supposed to be aggressive too. The clowns are cool, especially if they are already hosting an anemonie. Maybe someone else can chime in here with some suggestions. How big is your tank? Do you...

I just recently got mine. It is my first. At first I thought aboout trying just to feed it frozen brine shrimp but they are so tiny and would float off due to fish swimming by. I read that you can feed them sliced up silver sides. So, I cut some into small pieces, after turning off all the water...

I too have a sleeper. He's been in the DT for 3-4 months now and is a lot of fun to watch. Initially he stayed hidden in the caves peering out at us, but now he's out in the open a lot. As stated in a previous reply, they do rearrange the sand bed quite often. Ours leave little mountains all...

If you buy a new RO/DI system it should come with an adapter that screws onto your water faucet. Mine did. If you have the adapter hooked onto your faucet you can still use your faucet like normal. The adapter has a valve in it that you move by pushing a small button to close the valve. When you...

GSP will spread like crazy if they are placed on your live rock. From what I have read it is suggested to place the rock with the GSP on it on the sand bed so that it is not touching any other LR. You can also glue it to the back glass on your tank and it will spread. I just bought a small 4"...

Got it thanks !!!!

I bought one from them and have been very pleased. Fast shipping, easy to set up right out of the box. Mine is also the 4 stage RODI. I got the complete kit which has the TDS meter,etc. Good luck with it, whoever you buy from.

I received my order from saltwaterfish today and have acclimated everything. I have everything in the DT's except for a brittle star. It is in the foam cooler and is stuck to one corner of it. I don't want to damage it but I need to get it into the DT. Any ideas how I can get it without injuring...

I have another order coming within the next few days. I had my last order shipped to work as well. Had to wait 3-4 hours before getting them home. I did not open the box until I got home and was ready to start acclimation. I think opening at work and then closing them back up, and then opening...

Gmann, Good idea, I am thinking of doing something similar. In fact I just ordered some chaeto and Pods from this site. I noticed you have 8-10 holes drilled in the back of the bagger and this still wasn't enough. Do you not lose all of the pods pretty fast by them overflowing into the tank? I...

Yep those look good IMO. I have several zoas and rics in my 72g bowfront. I have had them for around 2 months or so. Mine are starting to grow and spread some. Different ones like different flow and lighting so you may have to look at placement in your tank. A few of mine also have some polyps...

Never mind. I did some more research and found the answers to my questions.

I am looking into possibly buying some micromussa corals for my 72 g bowfront which is a mixed reef. I currently have some great looking zoos, rics, which I have spread throughout the tank, I also have one large colt. I only have PC lighting right now. All of the above are thriving and looking...

West wind, like mie said they are good scavengers. If you decide you don't want them there is a small tube type trap that you can get at the LFS. I had a lot of them and decided to thin them out so I purchased one, "Trap- Em" is the name on the package. It's a tube that has an opening on each...
