So I have these 5 gal containers of mixed saltwater, loosely capped sitting here for a month or so........ I was told they'd be ok, but I need to know exactly what things to test for to be sure everything is good for my tank. I think someone said to make sure salinity and temperature matches...

Originally Posted by ophiura In theory, they would need to be cleaned. They are likely, like any substrate in the tank, to get algae on them. But they do have artificial anemones, even artificial mushrooms, that are rubbery to be more realistic. It would be an interesting experiment to see if...

Originally Posted by ophiura Do you want or have corals? There are also a lot of artificial anemones that are relatively realistic looking. I think they might work as well. ooo! I have a mushroom, a toadstool, some tiny xenias, a sun coral, small patch of zoos, (everything except the...

I'm not a mod, but I've ordered several times from SWF.com and whenever I had a problem, they dealt with it very quickly and to my satisfaction. I had some snails and a couple of crabs not survive, but not sure of the cause either, but they did give me credit wihtout any grief! Not sure if this...

Ok wait....dont leave this thread. If you get some coral attached to a piece of rock, you hypo it in qt too for 6 weeks? That wont hurt the rock and coral? How the heck do you keep ich out of your tank in that scenerio? Thanks!!

Originally Posted by acrylic51 Have you tried some gutter guard or mesh on the top of the prefilter box? Please see my last paragraph....I did explain how I used mesh. Part of the problem was it got into the slits of the overflow.

After introducing our first fish into the tank, we had a near catastrophy when the littlest guy either fell asleep and got pulled in or he decided to look for bluer oceans. I found him in the prefilter box. I was rushing around like crazy to help him. I know the poor little guy was tired. A...

I love mine! He made himself a cave front and center. At night he piles the sand up to cover the hole under the rock he picked, I never see him go in, but when it's bedtime (when the blues come on), he's ready! Every morning he digs his way out to the front and waits for breakfast. He eats...

wow! thanks for all the input. I think mine are hosting the magfloat. When I move it the gal chases it down til it comes back to it's normal spot. so I was just wondering.

I need advice! I have a meanie and want to get him out of my tank and send him packing to the LFS! I'd much rather have the cleaner shrimp than him. I need a sure fire way without taking apart me LR. Thanks in advance!

Originally Posted by mitremark I added a Diamond Goby to mt DT on Sunday. He is very good at sifting the sand. Ever since then the water has been cloudy, looks like there is dust in the water. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else, and if so how long did it take to clear up. It...

Tell me what things your clowns have hosted in please? I dont want to get an anenome, and I like to watch the hosting activity! Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Dunno...look sorta like half dead sun polyps to me. Retracted they are very hard. When they come out some they're softish. I'm fairly new to this but that's what it looks like to me.

Not sure which of these did the trick, and maybe it was a combination of the many things I changed. I did cut back on lighting as well as feeding amounts. I cleaned and or changed out filters as needed and kept up with water changes as well as changing direction on one PH. I have a little...

I have a 150 wet/dry. It's sorta neat...came with an overflow box. It's a compact neat system and easy to work with (so far). I keep the filters clean (pre-filter that's in at the back of the overflow, the filter over the trickle tray and the filter covering the pump for the return) so I dont...

Isn't it time to see pics yet??? I wanna see what everyone got - dead or alive you're coming with me!
