Yep, it's a handy gadget to have. You don't need the numbers... any ammonia spells trouble, do a water change, so that gadget is all you need. I also used ammonia test strips, they are fast and easy to read. I used lab type kits for everything else.

It's a good thing kids are cute, it's a survival thing. I agree with Imforbis, get as much out as you can, do a huge water change, and add some prime. Keep an eye on things, and at the first sign of stress do another water change. I have 14 grandchildren, from 19 to 2 years old. Make the...

Great, glad to be of some help. You can ghost feed the tank...just a few flakes like you are feeding an invisible fish, when the ammonia reaches 0.5 to 1, let it ride. Spend this time waiting, on researching the fish and inverts you might want. Your list may change a bunch of times, but it...

I thought you were planning a 400g tank? Nothing wrong with a 90g, it's just that all this time I expected a 400g, because that's what you said in the beginning.

Hi, NO...do not do water changes or add prime. You can't speed up the cycle that way, in fact you slow it down. If you had live fish, doing that (called soft cycle) would keep the fish alive. You can add a product called cycle...but it won't hurry it up either, no matter what you do, good...

Hi, welcome to the site... #1 rule...never use tap water, use RO (reverse osmosis). Your own unit is best, Walmart sells it for 67 cents a gallon by me... You can also get premixed from the fish store, whoever told you to use tap water is an idiot. Reef crystal salt mix is for just fine to use...

Scratching my head... I'm a bit sensitive about brothers, mine died a few years ago... We used to fight, and we would make up, even after being years apart. A brother is not a back up in case she kicks her husband out, and even if Jeff hasn't seen him in 14 years, and she hasn't talked to him...

Hi, This happened to my sleeper goby....The fauna in the substrate had been depleted and the fish starved... it took months. I was told...That once the belly shrunk ( all head and flat skinny body) the fish kind of absorbed it's own stomach and could no longer feed no matter what.

Man...LOL..I never get these "what is it" right.

What has this got to do with mashed potatoes...? I just had to say it.

Looks like a harmless little sea slug to me. Your live rock is just that...full of living tiny critters. Just below your slug looks like a baby nerite snail too.... Bang Guy will know for sure.

Beth, It's a Pit bull and a Great Dane. A frightened dog is a dangerous dog. My Atticus is a fear biter, he isn't afraid of me, but he is of strangers. Jeff's dogs are obviously afraid of him, he was arguing with his wife and they felt threatened too. Those dogs will turn on him in a heart beat...

I agree with Pegasus, except instead of vodka dosing, try adding macroalgae, it absorbs the nitrates, phosphates and nitrites to grow, as you prune it to keep it from over growing (called harvesting) you remove that stuff from the system...the more of No3, No4 and No2 you have, the faster the...

I love that show, the guy really does manage to tame it seems, every aggressive dog he gets hold of (and he has been bitten), but there was one, that even he couldn't get to stop being aggressive over food, and dangerous to the family (they had a little child). He took it away to rehome. I also...

I actually knew a family with a Dobi that turned. Just out of the blue... the police had to shoot it. The man of the house had died a month earlier, his widow thought the dog just couldn't live without him. It was back in the 80s. I think it has something to do with breeding, that's why pit bull...

You might try and see if there is a reef club around where you are. It's always best to get frags from friends, so you won't have shipping costs. The shipping costs are all about the same because it's overnight, which means you have to pay the big bucks.

Yayyyy!!! That still does not take care of the aggressive dog issue, but I'm glad you guys are getting along.

100% agree on both counts...LOL.. it's the method of gaining control that is the debate. I wouldn't keep a pit bull or Great dane if it showed aggression...period. I would never trust the animal again Dogs are part of the family, but we have to be smart and remember, a dog is after all, an...

Kraylon brand is made for painting plastic, used it for lawn furniture, so it should work well for a fish tank. Contact paper (sticky wallpaper) might work, but with saltwater, sticky stuff doesn't stay as it should... it's could be worth a try. It's a pain to work with, and not have bubbles.

My dear, I too would have a hard time in an emergency, my he dog already bit a paramedic (my sister called the ambulance, Mother forgot to lock the dog up, I was napping in another room...perfect storm) Your line of thought is the same as folks with the mentality as some people have about...
