    what to do?

    If you don't want to take the fish out of the tank but feel that he is being picked to death by the others... get an 'in-tank' quar unit, they should sell them at ***** or Pet's Mart... or your LFS. It's basically a net that hangs in the tank... you can but the weaker fish in there and wait for...

    Power Out!!!

    I think a generator is the sure fire way to save your tank. Unfortuntely not everyone can have one. Other than keeping feedings down to an absolute minimum and trying to keep as much heat as possible in the tank (in the summer it shouldn't be too bad... but the winter?). Other than that I'm not...

    IMO: Cut back a bit on the feeding for a while and see if they lower. What exactly are the readings?

    filter pad replacement?

    Originally posted by CrustyTheClown I have switched over to using ScotchBrite pads in place of the more costly OEM's, in my wet/dry... I also find they do a much better job at removing small particles for pre-filtration, but they do need changed out every couple of weeks. ScotchBrite pads...

    SWF.COM Ship Times

    I did a search for this but couldn't find anything. After becoming disgusted with my LFS for reasons not worth mentioning here (I'm sure you can figure them out, use your imagination). I placed my first order for a bunch of clean-up critters from SWF.COM. Does anyone know what their shipping...

    HD Sand / Cloudy Water Q

    Originally posted by doodle1800 I think people are going to ask how long the tank has been set up, what kind of sand did you use. Maybe give more details on filtering and such too. :) I'm leary to put LR right now in there because ther settling sand will get all over it. Fine sand is hard to...

    HD Sand / Cloudy Water Q

    It is possible. Esp if you have a plastic/glass hood that can collect that white salt creep that they always seem to collect. That can make it a little cloudy. However, the chances are that something else is causing the cloudiness. You should post a seperate thread with this topic. You would get...

    HD Sand / Cloudy Water Q

    Nice looking tank! I think that putting in LR would help with the cloudiness (Bang Guy explained it)... it sure did with my tank. IMO I'd turn off those filters and get some LR. It'll all calm down in a bit. Cheers!
