    pregnant peppermint shrimp

    I have.  It's very time consuming and error prone. Of the 40 or so people I have explained how I did it I have not heard a positive report from even one so I now recommend not trying unless you're happy even if it doesn't work. There have been a lot of hobbiests do it successfully though so it's...

    starting to see green and pink algae

    About 2 weeks ago I noticed spots of bright green algae and now today I notice pink spots of algae on my dry rock. I'm pretty excited and assume this means my cycle is almost finished.

    switch from coral to sand help.

    There are really 3 types of sand you can buy, Florida LS which has live fauna in it, bag LS which just has a bottle of bacteria thrown in it (do not advise this will cause a cycle), bag dry sand. I suggest Florida or Bag LS. The bag LS I would only use for new tanks that has no fish in it yet...
