thanks! Would a 10 gallon be enough for what I have? See signature. Brock

In a very short amount of time, I plan on making the switch to a DSB, from CC. My question is...will the impending sandstorm hurt my fish, or should I transfer them to my small 10 gallon, until the dust settles? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Oh- I will be using Southdown, and a top...

quick question...what is the purpose of the plastic tubing and the screen? Thanks Brock

Once i get the DSB in, should I be worried about hydrogen sulfide gases? How long would it take this gas to accumulate and how would I get rid of it? Brock

I'm going to be shortly changing my substrate from CC to a DSB. I will also be adding some LR. Currently, my tank is around 75-76 degrees. Are the temperature requirements different for reef tanks? Perhaps this is a stupid question? Thanks Brock

Is everyone's experience with the sand purchase here is that it has beneficial critters in it? If so, I believe I will purhase some. Thanks Brock

That was not the answer that I had anticipated, but thanks!

Does anyone have any information about the live sand offered on this website. I'm interested in purchasing LS, but am unsure if this sand is any better than that found at my LFS. Thanks Brock

Has anyone purchased LS from this site? Is it recommended? Or should I just buy the stuff in the LFS? I see very little information about the sand that is sold on this site. How long has the sand that I purchase here been out of the ocean? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Brock

Thank you.

I am now planning on converting my CC 46 Gal tank to a DSB. I believe I will need approx 110 lbs of sand to have at least 4". How much live sand is needed, just enough to cover the surface, or do I need a deeper layer of live sand? Thanks Brock

I actually found some Southdown. There is a Home Depot in Mansfield, Ohio that sells it for $5 for a 40lb bag. Thanks Brock

Thanks Everyone!

Does anyone know of any alternatives to Southdown sand. It would seem that no Home Depots in Central Ohio have even heard of this type of sand. I really don't want to pay the price of the local fish stores. Thanks Brock

Is the live sand offered on this website of better quality than that offered in LFS? What is need to get little critters and stuff populated in the sand? Thanks Brock

My nitrates have gone down considerably (<30), but my favorite damsel has not eaten in 5-6 days. He is also breathing extremely quickly. He is not very active around feeding time. I am going away Friday evening and won't be back until Sunday. I'm afraid that he may die while I'm away and...

I unfortunately did something very similiar, with the same type of advice from my LFS. You will most likely see your nitrates skyrocket. Your nitrites will most likely go up some. I've lost 2 fish and a crab by doing what you did. Its a hard way to learn a lesson. Whatever you do or...

Not sure I can help, but I do have a question. I would like to replace my CC with LS. How did you do this over a two-week period. Any helpful hints? The missing clown could definitely be causing your ammonia and then nitrates to spike. I also have a brittle star, what do you feed it...

Thanks Jim.

Stacy, I would like to switch the coral out and replace with sand, but I have 4 other fish, a brittle starfish, and a crab. Not sure where I would put them. Thanks Brock
