I'll chech with the LFS about the Tang. Thanks for the help. Amquel is now back on the menu.

No frieds crazy enough to get into the hobby. I was using Amquel which did lower the ammonia originally but never got it down to zero. I have been treating for over 2 weeks and finnally stopped in favor of the charcoal

The other day I posted about copepods but maybe I miss diagnosed the issue. My LFS said I have salt water fleas, my reading of other post decided that they were copepods... what ever they are is this something I need to get use to or what? Also I have been having ammonia issues that were...

that is a question i was hoping someone could tell me. perhaps i have miss diagnosed the tiny white insects all over the glass, the move much like fleas. they seemed to show up around the time all of my diatom algae disappeared.

after reading from the message board i have determined that i have a copepod infestation. my tank is a 120 gal fish only with no LR. 1 lion fish, 1 yellow tang, 1 tigger jaw fish, and 3 lrg hermit crabs. all readings are good with a slight ammonia spike, i think this is a false reading due to...

The tank is a 120gal with a wet/dry, uv, skimmer, etc.. I was going to use aragonite as a substrate, 2" deep. As for fish the first is going to be a lion (type still undecided),then the the proverbial Yellow Tang, Maybe a Blue tang, Definitely 1-2 Jawfish.Possibly a small angle. After that it's...

I am starting a FO tank and will not be using LR or LS. It's a different kind of an idea on the display end of the setup. There will be plenty of base rock used though. I would like some shrimps,crabs,etc or any suggestions on what else could survive in this type of environment.

thanks, i'll try to email thru your website

I saw your website, real impressive. a few months ago u offerd to let me email u but i guess that info has to go thru swf.com? this site offers a couple diff skimmers for sale. i've notice that at least one of the skimmers you suggest is very,very pricey

What's better for a 120 fish only. wet/dry or refuge, what type of skimmer bBrlin,ASMG,Proclear,Aqualine? I may yet add LR but at this time,no I will be using live substrate. Popular auction site offers wet/dry with skimmers for good prices. Is it really a deal?

I guess saying built-in is decieving. I'm looking at an Aqualine wet/dry that comes with a skimmer and an Proclear that comes with a skimmer. I found them on a popular auction site. they are basically package deals so that it works out that the skimmer ends up costing 50-75 dollars. Would I be...

Does anyone have any opinion on skimmers that come built into the wet/dry filters. I'm looking at 2 diff brands and wonder if I should just get the wet/dry w/o the skimmer and then buy a seperate skimmer

Is "Texas Holey rock" saltwater safe?

I've been reading alot of the posts and am starting to get overwelmed. Can anyone suggest a comprehensive start to finish book for beginners?

I think i know that a reef tank is inverts, anom's and the like with reef friendly fish and a fish only is ... fish. Can a nice mix of the two be had?

Thanks for your response, that clears that up. I assume that mixing LR with Lace rock in my set up is o.k.? will the lace eventually take on the live rock aspects in time. Is LR safe will all fish?

I'm investigating the option of changing my 70gal freshwater to salt. I have found a nice wet/dry filter on ---- but now I'm wondering if I shouldn't go with a refugium instead. Origanally I was going fish only but now the idea of some crustations and corals has me second guessing all my...
