It is nice to have someone to share any hobby with. My husband is the one who suggested we get the SW set up. I was so excited about it. I do a lot of the cleaning, maintainence, but he puts in the financial support. I try to have the tanks cleaned by the time he comes home from work so he...

rjmang, Copper use in a sw tank is not good. I have heard that it absorbs into the seals and everything else, will not come out, and is a deathtrap for inverts. I don't know that they will survive. Good luck. Someone else will be around to advise you. Been in since 2000 and still learning...

I've read that if it goes thro the skimmer first than cleaner water is flowing thru the rest of your fuge/sump.

$15 store credit is better than nothing. Great pics.

I know, CCs can be good or can be devilish. I have a pic somewhere where our SHs would hitch to our CC and he would move slowly around the tank with them. They made awesome quint buddies. At the same time we had a coral banded shrimp, scooter, snails, mandarin.

I missed this one yesterday. I would say that the 50 lbs of lr, is making this easier for you. Ls also.

Jennman HOT filter is..little help? Hang On Tank Filter, simple version. Just need something to keep water circulating so it won't 'spoil'. Do you use water from your main tank to fill quarantine tank? I do Also, do you quarantine inverts? I do but I have a 1gal tank, nice and cozy for them...

Bruzer, did you say WORK came before your fish tank? The calculation on those deminsions would be 97 lbs of ls for a 3.5" deep sb. Did you faint yet? This is calculated on an empty tank, no lr, etc. I would love to see ppl's faces with those calculations. I think the 1lb per gal sounds pretty...

Bruzer, Welcome aboard, Glad to have you What are your tank deminsions and one of us will calculate it for you.

Mine is a 10 g, no substrate, no lr, no inverts to look cute, HOT filter,strip lighting, quiet room. Some meds will kill ls, lr, inverts so don't put them in there. Smaller the better when you read directions of doses. HOT filter will work fine since you are not skimming During most meds, take...

If you do decide on a blenny, get a lawnmower blenny. They eat algae from the rocks and glass and leave you blenny kisses. They are very handsome too. Great addition to any tank. They have litlle irridescent silver spots along the entire side of their bodies, very poised on the rotating ph...

Blue Steel, since I have the impression that we are not to use links, I will just say that I do order some things online. However, Mike @ one lfs and D @the other lfs, have been really great to order in what I need if it is carried by their supplier. Cindy, I really thought ls could be spared...

Sorry, no ideas. I was just repeating what I've heard. You seem to be on the right track. I am still fighting it in a 35 hex tall. They always say to correct the problem, but I can't find mine so I do the wc. I love this hobby, I love this hobby, I love this hobby.

mytank, Thanks for the ideas. We already have the rock garden, the cactus garden, the water garden, why not a CCgarden.

I've never had one to live, but that sounds like good signs.

moto757, you didn't vote at the poll(top of page)

TimG, do a search on red slime on this board. You will find a lot of info. Basically doing a wc you are moving stuff around but not getting rid of the problem. Checklist: Protien Skimmer, you have already checked and 'fixed' Nitrates, you already know they are high, wc will help reduce them...

I have a full bag of CC that I can't give away. I bought it when I was thinking "How Pretty!"

Hiddenicon, you came to this board with a question. Six of us have given you an answer and a reason. NO anemone yet. You still need lights and maturity. However, since you want one so badly, if you keep asking enough ppl, someone will say go ahead. LFS experts: Do they have SW knowledge...

The different online stores that I shop all do overnight, delivery before noon. BUT in some cases the planes are delayed, a hurricane hits the airport, whatever the rreason. There are some delays that you just can't foresee. This is not the fault of the store and in some cases not the fault...
