Originally Posted by smartorl Just a question for you, I have heard the same thing about synthetic water. Would bringing in sea water for water changes help or is that just crazy? I was just wondering because I love flower pots but don't want to get something to kill it. CAN you get your sea...

With all the left wing biased media, Including N.Y Times, All three major networks ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, Headline News, and the so called "Comedy Shows" Bill Mauer, Steven Colbert and John Stewart. It seems that FOX is the only nationally covered station that is generally pro-conservative...

Originally Posted by Coral Keeper What do you mean "you have invert and corals now but this is not drastic or a cause to worry YET."? The reccomended S.G for inverts and corals is 1.026-27, thats all, just your next evaporation top-off, dont use the RO water, use your pre-mixed salt water.. got it?

Originally Posted by Michael R I'm currently on the look out for sand for my 90 gallon aquarium. I was wondering: 1. How much sand would be appropriate? 2. Does it matter if I buy sugar-sized aragonite or live sand? I understand the live sand is better in that it's already 'cycled', but...

Originally Posted by smartorl By topping off with fresh water each day, it helps to keep a more stable SG. If you let it go down for a few days, the evaporation causes the SG to go up and then when you top off you bring in down pretty quickly. That in itself can be stressful to the creatures...

Originally Posted by hwttdz1 I'm just thinking won't the powerheads prevent it from ever settling? Also the stuff is so fine, it can pass through the hang on filter without too much trouble, so the water coming out is almost as murky as the water going in. Again, I'm sorry I'm freaking out so...

Originally Posted by smartorl For inverts, your SG should be 1.025 - 1.027. It appears to be too low. I am not the most knowledgeable on corals, someone else should be able to elaborate. Thats one reason, but flower pots have a very poor mortality rate in the home aquarium, 6 months or less...

Originally Posted by hwttdz1 As I don't have anything living in there, (maybe bacteria, no LS, no LR) I'm not too worried about the salinity being too high right now, I'll make sure it's spot on before I add anything living. My only known source of RO/DI water is my LFS, which is closed until...

Originally Posted by doglvr Dropped the Purple Reef Lobster in my tank. It paused for perhaps 10 seconds, then went into the rocks, never to be seen again. About 3 weeks later, there in the open sand bed was a shell, thus the only pic I have of my Lobster (and not a very good one at that)...

Originally Posted by Coral Keeper Hey MiaHeatLvr ill tell you everything i got in the biocube and can you tell me if this is too much? I have corals (toadstool, torch, 2 zoos, xenia, 2 heads of Metallic Green torch, sponge, and sea squirts) and inverts (hermits, snails, marble crab, green...

Originally Posted by Coral Keeper Ok, can i feed a gorgonian with brine shrimp eggs? im thinking of getting one in 2 months. GORGONIAN: GOOD Water flow, phytoplankton 1 time a week, replenishing of trace elements via water changes and medium light.. Im not sure about brine shrimp eggs.

Originally Posted by hwttdz1 Water is being tested using a hydrometer. It's on the list, but I'm only just starting, and before that I'm looking to have water I can see through. Sorry if I seem curt, the recommendation is appreciated (but right now it's not at the top of the list), I'm just...

Originally Posted by Coral Keeper All right, thanks for the info. How big dos a wachman and a pistol grow? I would say about 3-4" each in the wild.
