I buy the jugs of water from walmart. I heard that they worked well and they seemed to have up to this point. There's a LFS that sells deionized water but it's a bit of a drive but if that's the problem than I'll gladly switch to that water. You were right though, my filter did look kinda bad...

I haven't had a problem with diatomes since I stopped using tap water months ago and I thought I had seen the last of them. Over the past couple days I have noticed that brown diatomes seem to be coming back. They were mostly on my rocks but some also on my sand and on the glass. When I got...

well if I have the guts maybe I'll try. Thanks!!

ok, well I guess when payday rolls around I'll see what my LFS has. Thanks for the advise all!

Not the smartest move but oh well, it's his money that he's flushing down the toilet.

I think my Recordia is either splitting or something's wrong with it... It looks to me as though it may be turning into two but it's hard to describe what it is doing and my camera is no good so I can't get a clear picture. There seems to be a fold in it and it looks like a second one is forming...

I haven't thought about a psudeochromis... that might work. I would love a small angel but I don't think I wanna risk it in a 16 gal.

When I got home today I found the shriveled up body of my fire goby which had jumped out of my tank while I was gone. It's a 16 gall bow tank and I would like to get a new fish for it. Any suggestions on a nice and colorful reefsafe fish that can go in a 16 gal. Preferibly no more gobies...

For my 16 gal reef tank I usa a current dual satellite pc fixture (model 1012). It's 80 watts total and a good fixture for what I paid for it. Unfortunatley it's not good for most stonies and anemones

Awesome corals ! Wish I could tell you for sure what that second one is... it might be some sort of leather

Petsmart has a little brine shrimp hatchary for only $9.99 and it has everything you need to start. It however says on the instructions that it is not intended for them to grow to adulthood so I'm not sure if it's a good buy or not. I've been meaning to try it though. If you try be sure to...

I have never heard anything about baking soda (doesn't mean it won't work but I wouldn't care to try it. The buffer I use is called pH 8.2 (or something like that). It's neat because whether your pH is too high or to low, adding it will fix it till it's at about 8.2. Also, adding it doesn't...

A) cool B) thanks

I've gotta poor little emerald crab that I've noticed somehow lost a claw. A) Will that claw grow back? B) Is the crab likley die? thanks!! (peanut butter jelly time!)

Well I have a recorda that I've had for about three months now but these look a bit differant from it. It could be a differant species of ric but I really think it's not one, it's less bubbly.
