airforceb2 I guess you can tell where i am going with this from the other thread as well :joy:

just blue legs or maybe some scarlets too?

Should I mix salt with the water I use for the LR to risne and let cure? How flexable can the temp be when this rock is cureing? I don't have a heater for it but the huge pump I use creates a bit of heat if I keep a lid on it.

before I do a water change and I let the water and salt mix for 24 hours do I still have to treat it with "stress coat" or "start right". What about if I just use this water to cure my new shipment of LR not much just 10#? Also when I top off my tank due to evaporation does that water have to...

Thanks for all the advise :joy: :joy: I did actually purchase the 50 Nassarius Snails for $14.50 with shipping and I hope to see them early this week. This and 5 bumblebee snails will be all I have in my tank as far as a cleaning crew do you think I need anything else? Here is a pic I took of...

snipe I live in farmington I also have spoken with you on the fish heads forum. I am new to the saltwater world and I have no one but, the weird lady at "critters lane" in bonne terri that even has a saltwater tank. I have been talking to the guy at pet paridise in park hills and he is...

thanks for the help :D

Sorry I forgot to mention that it has been up for 3 to 4 months ph 8.2 amm 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 10. the sand is just starting to turn brown on top so i quess I will give a few to the LFS.

so much conficting advice I'm confussed :confused: :confused: some say keep all the snails in the 29 and some say only use a few. one person says it will kill the snails from the ammonia and some say they will be fine??? Any other suggestions?? :confused: :thinking:

would it hurt to put some snails in with the rock that is currently cureing?

How do you know when they are dead and can I put some in with the new LR I just ordered?

I also just ordered 10# of Live Rock off the net and it should arive any day but it will need to be cleaned and cured for a while. I also plan to buy 50 Nassarius Snails would it be ok to put some snails in the 29 and some in with the rock that is curing to help clean it?

how many should I use for a 29gal 40#LS 25#LR the only crew has been 5 bumble bees and it was started 3 or 4 months. I plan to upgrade to a 55 buy not for at least 6 months. How many should I keep?

THIS AUCTION IS OFFERING 50 ILLYIUS NASSARIUS OBSOLETA ALGAE EATING SNAILS it is only $12.00 shiped. I have a 29gal FOWLR but my cleaning crew only consist of 5 bubble bee snails. If 50 snails are too many how many should I use or should I find something else? would it be ok to go with...

I am a first timer myself :confused: How long have you had your tank up? I have a 29gal 3months old with 40#live sand and 15# live rock. Just regular lighting from my freshwater so I haven't gotten into the good stuff yet :jumping:

Hold on maybe this would be the better buy for only $10 more. 24" with 65 watt 10,000K Daylight and 65 watt True Actinic 03 Blue Compact Fluorescent Lamps plus two 3/4 watt Lunar Blue-Moon-Glow LED 470nm Lamps Includes: 3 on/off switches, 3 - 8 foot power cords for separate timers, 2 cooling...

Thank you for those great links I will use those often. I was looking around that big aution place and can across some 24"lighting that I thought could go on my 29 gal right now and when i switch to the 55 I could just buy another 24" light iddentical to this. what do you think? I was also...

do you think I should start with the bio-balls and slowly phase them out as I get more LR. I'm thinking for the 55 show tank and the filtration I would need 75 to 100 pounds LR. I just bought 10# off the net and that will put me at 25# right now. how much do you think I will need to properly...

I just bought 10# LR off the net. I went with the 4 day shipping because I can always keep it in the shed till the die off is gone. (I put saltwater in the rubbermaid with a huge pump to keep the water mixing and it stays warm.) I also have a protien skimmer is it a berlin airlift 60 and it...
