you must go deeper if you want to reduce nitrates. use the sand calculator on this website to determine how many pounds to get your 4 inches.

don't sweat it you should be fine. If the sand you added was a calcium type aragonate etc. it will milk up the water. I added 40 lbs to my tank without problem. Coral beauty, clownfish, yellow tang, misc. inverts. all faired well. it will clear overnight.

what fish do you have. I just lost a cleaner also but the antennae were getting progressively shorter leading me to believe fish are attacking. The literature I read says 1-2 years.

huma huma does have a lot of personality. Lawnmower blenny is fun to watch. I also have a dusky jawfish my husband calls my pocket gopher fish. He loves to dig sand out from under the rocks.

Their natural diet includes sponges. It maybe expensive but for long term survival there may be some vitamin, mineral, or compound only available in sponges. I would sacrifice a sponge for him. My lfs had one for 6 months then with no warning it died. Other requirements are lots of rock, and...

Cleaner shrimp are a must I swear by them. Garlic can't hurt. The only way to get ich out of the display is to take all fish out and quarantine them and let the display go fishless for 2 months. life cycle of ich is 45 days. Ich lay dormant on substrate then hatch swim looking for a fish host...

mine begs for food too. He always shows up and gets the shrimp pellets that I try to send down for the dusky jawfish. (AKA pocket gopher fish) Talk about a sand stirring monster.

yes. give him time to get aquainted with his neighbors. My jawfish disappeared for a week before I saw him again.

what do you have for fish and other inverts.

coral banded will win every time. Mine was hanging by his claw on the gill of my picasso trigger when he first moved in. My coral banded is quiet agressive normally doesnt move much unless someone enters his space. Don't sacrifice your cleaners.

How deep is your sand bed. the larger the grains the deeper it needs to be. My LFS started me on crushed coral. big mistake. But I dumped alot of bioalive aragonate on top to a total 80 lbs in 55 gal a depth of 3-4 inches and my nitrates dropped to zero after a month or so. the sand has to be...

mine used to eat a lot of algae and was as fat as the pic. But both him and my yellow tang seem to be on strike. They prefer flakes or brine shrimp. My lawn is getting really long.

open your photo with microsoft photo editor then save as...on the bottom of the save window click on the "more" button. on the bottom of that window reduce your quality and the file will be smaller 50% smaller reduces a 1.4mb to 450mb pic. I am sure other photo editors will do the same thing.

I agree an optical zoom is essential, not digital zoom. The type of camera depends on your photography skills and your $$$ availability. Honestly if you want to take good pics of nature or aquariums, you might want to check into a better camera with an optional manual focus. I have a kodak...
