    Anyone know any good Freshwater Forums?

    Yes, but due to policy(?), you will need to search yourself. There are several out there.

    How long do i wait to put in the anemones?

    Tank needs to mature. The water perimeters need to be stable. They are filter feeders so need the mature tank to assist in feeding. We and many others hand feed ours as well. Anemones don't handle stress very well(ammonia, nitrate, etc.) Just give yourself and your tank time to level out and...

    How long do i wait to put in the anemones?

    Ditto with Brown leaf, need to wait. Anemones do best in a mature tank. 6+months.

    Very Stubborn Algae. Can't Clean It.

    I used Gillette single edge. Then I found some at Lowes' or Home Depot for a utility knife for just pennies.(Glass Tank)

    Product Question

    Rwillo, I used something similar to that in the early 90's on my fw tanks. It collected everything together like a magnet so I could scoop out the solids. However, when we bought a better filtration system, I didn't use it anymore. As far as SW tanks go, if you are using a good functional...

    my new clam

    JLM, Those are nice pics. I think the t. Crocea likes the bottom of the tank anyway. How big is it? We still do supplemental feedings with ours.

    snail ID

    zibnata, Check out the pics on SWF and see if any of those match yours. I was thinking either Nassarius or Bumble Bee due to the rings around the shell.

    Frozen Brine shrimp

    I take shrimp out of freezer, let it thaw. Such a small amount thaws in no time. Put it in a small container with tank water, use turkey baster and gently squirt on tentacles. If anemone is high in tank I use my fingers. Clown helps a lot too. Just put it in tank, clown takes it and gives...

    Will these lights work?

    With the MHs, you'll have everything covered. One word of caution. When you get your MHs, slowly acclimate your animals to the brighter light. You don't want to bleach them. Having them on timers will help a lot in doing this. Start for instance with #1 MH for 4 hours, then turn on #2 MH for...

    Do clams loose color?

    18" from lights. Ok so it probably isn't bleached by MHs10k. Mine changed a little color then I realized it had scooted under a rock or a fast fish sort of knocked it. Therefore shading it. The side that was out looked 'normal' while the other side was darker. I repositioned it better and it...
