Ceto ( Godess of the sea) and Kelpie ( water horse), names that the kids voted on, will be here first thing Tuesday morning. Both are females and we are looking forward to have the additions. I will keep you posted, and yes Pictures. I will be asking more and more quaetions as time goes by.

Does anyone have any experience with "purple up" ? ( coralline algae accelerator) ? Can this have adverse reactions with any Seahores you may have in a tank?

I did this for newbies, like me, i was looking for a set of vital signs to help others know what some norms should be. As no newbies responded and the only feed back was from the "pros' and it was all negative, i would request that you delete this thread. thank you in advance Chappy

Flower; You, like Snake have been doing this for awhile. Your "wet pets" are like your children, you have created this home for them, watched them grow, mature, and you have have learned a lot about what it takes to keep them healthy, I can even guess you guys have even made a few mistakes...

Snake; I agree with everything you say, but please remember this is a newbie talking to a newbie. We set up our tanks, and everyone tells us to test, test and don't forget to test. Whenever we ask a question the first thing we are asked is what are your test reads. Other than ammonia, and...

I never argue with sucess, whatever your doing, keep it up

As a newbie I am going to go out on a limb here. We all know that water testing is important. You need good test equipment/ methods ( that can be a thread by itself) I want this simple. OK your ready to start testing.so what is important? I remember my first day in paramedic class, the...

What unit of measurement do the folks here refer to when talking about Alkalinity? I see meq/L, DKH, English degree of hardness, and PPM. I have the calulations to convert, but when in a conversation here what units do you refer too. While on the subject, what do you consider good, or bad...

That would sure add some nice color. I am just running two (2) 5500K fluorescent bulbs, so I am not sure if that is enough lighting .. Do you know the lighting requirements for any of the items you mentioned. I will also do a search to see if they will work with the lightingI have. I like the...

I am looking for one or two, I need to add some color to my SH tank. Now just sand and rock and a very lil macro. so it is boring. I want to add some color before the SH arrive, maybe then they will maybe pick another color besides sand brown (lol). I want to have it completely set up so I am...

In a local aquarium I have seen a feather that was a pale blue. I am not not one for names of shades, can I just a real light blue. (lol) I was told it was from Hawaii Do you have any idea what this is or where to get one, it looked really kool compared to the normal brown dusters you see...

Thank you or the replys. It seems like your feedings are very close to the same routine. Some enrich others don't, and I can see that is a matter of choice. Besides enriching their food, do you add any vitamins? I have heard of adding vitamin "C", Is this the norm or exception? Is there...

Hi T. I am so sorry to hear about this, Just from the advice you have given me I know how much love you have for your "babies" . Like Scott said I too wished I lived closer. My tank is ready to go, I have just ordered another test kit to verify the one I am using. If the readings are...

Please: I would lke to know your ideas on feeding SHs. I will be feeding frozen foods, ( all I know for sure ) Here are my questions. What do you feed? How often? Do you enrich? Your opinions of Selco, Vibrance, any other products? Do all your pumps need to be turned off? for how long...

I have it done. Thank you. I am the newbie here but with my work experience I can suggest this, be sure you have a check valve in your airline. ( back flow preventor) if not, and the line were to come off your pump you could siphon your whole tank out on the floor. this could also hapen if...

An Irishman walked out of a bar............................................It could happen my next DIY project is going to be a chiller from a dorm fridge to keep both the SHs as well as my beer cold. i can build one for a whole lot cheaper than i can buy a chiller and it it woill have alot...

a person with similar interest, and not just SHs..

Good afternoon all. As I sit here pondering if i will ever get my tank stable. and having consumed myself the vodka I purchased for my nitrate removal. I need something meaniful to be doing. I have heard you mention that a SH tank will require an airline. I understand that i should not use...

I am not ready to pour perfectlly good vodka in my tank. I would use it to lower my stress levels before i would worry about the stress of my tank. I am sorry, I noticed people don't joke much on this site, so I have to be careful what I say. I always try to find humor it things but never...

i was joking
