im pretty sure its not an anemone (have about 8 of those trying to get rid of them day by day), had another on the rock it slowly unstuck itself and drifted away (died?) with the right light the tips of each little "arm" is a bright bright green. ill try feeding it something, regarding the...

hello all, been wanting to post these for a while now, any information is good information.

noted thx bang. didnt know about the algae ammonia relation, at the moment my ammonia levels are off the chart guess a w/c could be in order

man forget about it! im itching! i love all animals though and id rather wait than see one die from my impatience. once the system well thrown im def. getting a mandarin. started reading about them now, seems feeding them is a problem as they love live bait. but im still eons away from getting...

ill try to find some reverse osmosis water but haven't seen any here to be honest, i can get my hands on distilled no problem. most pet shops have said that topping off with tap water isnt a problem ( Geneva water is pretty pure, will try to find the values for you people) but yea we all know...

best tip (got from here BTW) to kill aiptasia is to inject it with concentrated lemon juice. its cheap and more importantly its natural if your able to find a conserving free product. it will literally make them disappear within a couple of hours (least my small ones did)

Thx for the tip, it makes sense that large w/c may stress / harm life in the tank, so far my tank is cycling and aside the snail and squat lobster i have there are no other life forms at the moment. regarding the water can stick to tap water while my tank is cycling? when i add fish i guess ill...

hello and welcome, first off congratulations for the molt. secondly as some have stated and i agree with them, you might have rushed into things a little. also keep in mind the smaller the tank the short your reaction time margin to correct your water values. This, together with the fact that a...

right so here are the results for the second set of tests: PH..................... still 8 NO3.................. 15-30 mg/l went up NO2.................. still 0,05mg/l NH4.................. still off the chart (brown/black test liquid) Mg 1 Ca............ 900 mg/l (1200 mag - 300 Cal, low no?)...

here she is:

yea your right, but after some reaserch i figured would be better to add it now...no?

yes i am well aware of this fact, reason why i added all my rock now. in terms of "life" in my tank aside the micro organisms of rocks i have a squat lobster who was doing fine up till last night ( don't see her during the day) and a small snail. other than this my objective is to cycle the tank...

next set of tests tomorrow btw

thank you! could you go into a little more into detail about water changes? at the moment im simply toping off what evaporates (will add a little salt mix to the tap water i use to get the SG up) but other than that im not touching the water.

anyone else want to voice an opinion? especially regarding the skimmer

Hello all, For those of you who know iv been worried about a little crab that came with one of my live rocks, last night i got a glimpse of him outside his den and found out where he went to hide. this morning I fished him out and here is what he looks like. hes really cool and i hope he isn't a...

so at about midnight in Geneva Switzerland I half sneaked in my room (in the dark) with the hope to see the the potentially "assholic" crab... AND IT HAPPENED! didnt get to take a pic of him though but i was wrong, his legs arnt yellow and black they are more white and black. when i saw him he...

Thank you for the feed back! I want to add more rocks especially to cover the right corner (where the bio box is) and add an arch some where, but will do this as of next week, give a chance to the tank AND MY WALLET to settle a bit. regarding the skimmer I guess i'm going to have to pull an...

Hello everyone, So iv done a battery of tests on my water today, 2 days after having added about 11 kilos of live rocks and sand, here are the results: for a 180 l tank (47.5 gallons) PH......................................................8 (low?) NITRATE...

Thx guys, and thank you for moving the thread my apologies for posting in the wrong section, the pic is as good as i can make it. I put it in my tank and he vanished in some hole, I'm sure its there some where if it survives good if not....well sucks for him i guess. I forgot to ask where the...
