If you get cured rock from your pet store, it is ok. The problem with cured rock through the mail is that being out of the water for that long will start the decaying process again. It won't be as bad as uncured rock but you should still cure it to be safe. Uncured rock in my opinion is the...

As for the critters, it is probalbly copapods or amphipods which = good. The worm I'm not sure. I have never seen one in my tank or anyone elses, sorry.

I've heard it works. The GARF site will tell you all about it.

I have those too, a bunch. I have never pinpointed in any book what these are. Mine tend to grow under rocks in a hanging position usually away from the light source. They are white and fuzzy with a littly fan like thing portruded from the hole on the end. They are about the size of a...

It sounds like a zooanthind which is good. If you want to see if it is an aptasia buy a peppermint shrimp and give him a few weeks, if it is an aptasia he should devour it. Whatever you do don't try to scrub it off you rock or try to pull it off. If it does happen to be a pesky aptasia and...

It depends on filtration, surface area of your tank, and other organisms living in your tank. Is it a tall, long, hex?

I like to acclimate my snails for a least 30 minutes to an hour before I put them in the tank. Add a little of your tank water to the bag they came in to get them used to the salinity and chemical difference. Do this in small increments.

Do you have any more info in the name?

Phosgaurd by Sea-Chem gets rid of Phosphates and Silicates.

I'm not to sure about visi-jet skimmer products. I use a top-fathom brand skimmer and it works great. If you are trying to save a little money there are a bunch of aquarium products new and used on ----, under pets/fish category. You might find a good deal there. My advice is don't skim on...

I am in the market for a good RO/DI unit that produces about 25 gpd. I need some feedback from some veterans. Thanks.

I used finely crushed coral (sand) for the substrated in my tank. Just put it on the bottom. Make sure your are not using a silica sand b/c you will have a heap load of problems. Some people use 1 to 3 inches of sand. I put about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in my tank. It works quite well.

Ditch the UGF, get some good live rock and a nice size skimmer. All things are good.

Rule of thumb is 3-5 watts per gallon. I have a 110 long with 320 watts of VHO lighting. I have an abundance of zooanthids, colony anenomes, and corraline growing everywhere, rather rapidly. There are many ways to obtain good results, do some research, and know your budget and I'm sure things...

The white things are probalby spirobids. Harmless, filter feeders.....good sign, things are well. You might want to invest in a vho system or metal halides.

It's true I put down a thin layer of sand (not live) approx. an inch or inch & a half. The sand stays clean all the time, it's spotless and there are a ton of organisms crawling throughout the bed. I didn't start seeing results until my 110 gallon tank was at full capacity with 175 lbs of live...

They are great. Mine has devoured all kind of bad critters in my tank and it has eaten every one of my aptasia anenomes. They are definently a positive addition to any reef tank.

PC's are power compacts. Small, intense lights.

If you or someone else could build you a hood to match your tank you could put whatever lighting you wanted in your tank that would be mounted high enough off the water so that it wouldn't heat up the environment to much. A general carpenter or even you could do it. It doesn't have to be...
