I have heard that there is a specie of Anenome(sp?) that is supposed to be fine without additional light. Anyone heard about this??

Originally posted by usinkit Was the rock you got fully cured rock? Did the sand come out of a established tank? The rock was fully cured, in fact 2 of the large pieces came from someones tank. The ls was not from a tank, but was live. I will slow down a bit and make sure. From everything...

Originally posted by TAZ_12777 :notsure: I'm confused, on Feb 24 you posted that you just added LS. If that is true then I dont think you could have gone through a cycle yet. If you have not gone through a cycle wait. You can spead up cycling with lots of live rock and live sand. I also used...

Nitrites are at 0. I wasn't referring to the tank, I was referring to the fish. Cycling is complete.

nitrites are at 0. The fish have been in the tank for 24 hrs, doesn't have anything to do with the cycling.

I have my lr and ls in now. I am soexcited!! I added 3 damsels and they are doing good. We are appoaching the 24 hr. mark. So all is well. Any suggestions for some good inverts to add to the tank? It's a new start up, so I do not have any algae problems. I have been thinking maybe a...

Wow, that's awsome that you had so many little creatures in there!! My ls came out of a bag and proable doesn't contain anything.

Originally posted by Salty Cheese You will find the search button at the top of the page.:) IMO now get the tank up to operating standards first. IMO 35 ppt salinity. Heating the water will help you properly dissolve the salt and IMO it should be at least 72 degrees before you add anything...

It's not easy getting a lot of differant opinions on things...Where is everybody...I am supposed to get 10 differant opinions.

I am going to use a cocktail shrimp. So water temp saline count won't hurt the ls?

Just set up my heater, skimmer, etc. I added water and salt, but no LS. When can I add LS? Can I do it before my salinity is up? Does the water have to be heated properly first? Second question-My protein skimmer only running for about an hour, is not collecting foam in the top. I am...

$350?? That can't include your tank and everything can it?

Originally posted by woodymdt I wouldn't think so. Live Sand might have some pods, worms, very small creatures...not sure if they'll ALL be good or bad, just never know. Mantis Shrimp, from what I've learned, hitch hike on live rock, mainly Gulf or FLorida keys live rock. They're kind of...

Originally posted by woodymdt The ongoing opinion is that Mantis shrimp are bad for a tank period, unless it's a mantis tank only. They are ferocious predators...So the mantis is in a 10 gallon tank all by his lonesome for now. How is he doing? Are they cool creatures? I am adding live sand...

Today's the day I add my ls. Are there any creatures I should watch out for coming out of my ls? I know lr can contain little worms and stuff I am assumins ls is the same way.

Originally posted by woodymdt Oh I know the feeling. The Mrs and I have already decided what walls we want to cut into to make a 200+ gallon display in wall system. She wants a tank (10 gallon) in her sewing room, but she wants it in the closet, with the front in the wall like a wall based...

Originally posted by woodymdt no fish yet, but 10 hermits, 12 snails, and three shrimp. I'd be a little concerned for them keeping them in total darkness for longer than a day. I'll check on the blue's running for awhile, see what the majority opinion might be. Why no fish Woody?
