Also, would it be ok to boil the rock then put it in the tank? i'm thinking if I boiled all of it then I can put it my new tank because I only have 10lbs and I plan on getting at least 15lbs more of live rock. Will it then be sterile to use as decoraction in the display tank?

I see what your saying.....Now is all my Live rock no good for the display tank now that I have used greenex with them in the tank previously? Because now I'm just going to use the tank that I have now as a permanent QT and I am going to buy a new 20gal tomarrow for my display and start over...

Originally posted by Beth You can add LR, but you can not put that LR back into your display ever again. [/B] What did you mean by that?

I definitley think malnutrition plays a roll in the fish because of their eating habbits. I had made a mix of Shrimp,Squid and scallops and put it a food processor just like the one you have and I used an old frozen food packaging like the what the blood worms are in so I used it because I can...

yeah, Im pretty sure. My camera blows so the pictures are not very clear. They do have white dots on them and one of the clowns has like a sore on it's lip. The frayed fins started before the Greenex. Is is ok to add the LR since I'm not going to be treating them with any kind of chemicals. I...

Yes, I am using my main tank as a quarentin. My fishes fins are frayed like old rags.I have the salanity down to 1.009 and I'm going tomarrow after work top buy another test kit so I will post the readings when I get them. What can I do to help the fin problem? Here are some pics

BTW.my 2 False Percs are also having problems with their fins,they look a bit choppy like there are little chunks taken out of them, they are the only fish I have and they are peaceful towards each other,what can be the cause? Please someone help because I'm getting really stressed about these...

My 2 clowns have ich and I tried Greenex to help with the problem. Before I get flamed I bought this green disaster stuff through a reccomedation at a local fish store. I really didn't learn about QT untill last week by that time I already treated my tank. This week I set up my tank as a QT. I...

I just shook my magic 8 ball and it read "outlook not good" J/K did it live?

tanks reading were 0 all around....Ph was 8.2 and it was in the tank for like 3 weeks. The acclimation time was an hour when I first got the fish...the thing looked healthy last night and then BAM...INVERT FOOD.

Ok, After my tank tank finished it's cycle (Month and half ago) I bought my first 2 fish, 2 false percs. They are great little fish. 2 weeks after that I added my Purple Pseudochromis. This moring I woke up and he was breakfest for my inverts. I don't know, the clowns look good, there was no...

nevermind

Welcome to the family!

I'm considering doing it but do you know how much it will cost to ship a 50lb bag of sand? It's probably gonna cost alot, plus what can it go in, I mean the box would have to be extra strong. I mean I can get the sand and I want to help you out but do you think it is practical?

Originally posted by JoeMack word on the street is not to leave the carbon in for more than a day a month or so the homies say. why?

Originally posted by bdhough Did you just set this tank up with the fresh fine aragonite? I set my tank up with said sand and it was cloudy for the first 2 weeks. It will clear up in time. I won't set my tank up in the future though with this sand. It blows around to easily even after 7...

Yeah, I'm pretty happy. Now it's time for more live rock!

i added floss and carbon and now the tank looks a lot better. Take a look it's kinda hard to tell form my pics but in person it looks much better.
