    hazyness going on (PICS)

    Yeah, I'm new at this hobby so I think my problem is overall maintenance. I just bought some media floss and activated carbon to put in the penguin. I'm going to start doing water changes every 2 weeks along w/ carbon and floss. hopefully I can get better results by trail and error...thanks for...

    yeah, I'm thinking about just buying some carbon and floss rather than buying a new media cartridge

    if you have live rock you can have a manderin. Some of these people on these boards freak cuz their fish don't eat.Nothing is definit. I might not eat or it will. I bought my Female Dragonet 2 years ago and it is still in my 20g w/ no probs. If you like the fish, buy it. They are only like $10.

    Where do baby snails come from?

    These snails are really, really small. I don't believe there is any way thay could threaten my 4 monster turbos. I hear you about the live rock theory cuz I have been buying some every week since starting my tank. They look like regular turbos but 100,000x's smaller.

    Small tank, Small problem

    yes, I'm using Southdown Tropical playsand and I do have a filter. It's kinda filmy w/ pods on the glass also and now I have noticed the emergence of baby snails. It's all interesting but I'm just wondering if the sand will not be on the glass so much. Going tomarrow to buy some more live rock...

    Where do baby snails come from?

    I was gazing at my tank today and noticed a baby snail. I'm not sure how it is in the tank. Is it from my other snails or what? Can someone tell me where they are coming from?

    Small tank, Small problem

    Oh man, you are a joker, don't loose your day job J/K;) Yeah, the goby is a digging machine. However, I plan on adding a bunch more live rock so maybe it will cut down on the sand movement. Will a powerhead help prevent the sand sand from settling on the glass if the water continues to...

    Whats the deal w/ Crushed Coral?

    BTW, I used to work for home depot and I have to tell you that all the home depot's are not the same as far as products or brand names go. Yes they do carry much of the same items but other things vary, like the brand names. I had to go to 2 home depot's before I was able to find the right sand...

    Whats the deal w/ Crushed Coral?

    ok,just got finished switching and of course it's like a storm brewing in there but I feel a little better. I might just throw some cc in there just for an ocean floor look,not much just a sprinkle or 2.

    Whats the deal w/ Crushed Coral?

    I just got 50lbs of southdown tropical sand from home depot. Pschoskater: honestly it would probably be a better idea if you bought in a store cuz the shipping alone would most likely be just as costly as new stuff. I just got home from work so I am going to start on my tank.:)

    Whats the deal w/ Crushed Coral?

    yeah, i rinsed it really good. I thought this would reduce the cloud. I dunno, I'm chucking the CC anyways for sand so we will see what happends.

    Whats the deal w/ Crushed Coral?

    I already searched and read a ton of posts but I still have questions. I just bought a 20g tank and the whole setup. I bought live rock and Cc. Now, when I bought the cc I rinsed it out and then added to the tank. After that that water was completely cloudy for a day and a half. Now the water...
