While the live rock and protein skimmer strives to achieve the same end. Removing organic compounds. The time factor is the big difference. A skimmer removes organic compounds from the water BEFORE they break down. Via a mechanical (physical proses). This makes for an easier job for the bio...

i Wish to like to tell you to be welcome on this the boards ?

Actually they are hardy when not subjected to water parameter changes in a short period of time. As for your two week in the bag shrimp, the only change would have been temp and as water temp changes rather slowly unless the shrimp was subjected to to a change in a short period of time I am...

Most lfs as a way to entice people to buy fish and because, also most all potential buyers will ask if the fish is eating. will dump food into the tank. The fish then eat the food excrete ammonia and before it is converted or passed along via their filtration you get a bag of water with high...

IMO they are Actinodiscus Mushrooms These corals display a wide variety of colors, textures, and patterns. Some are solid colors, whereas, others are striped or spotted. In general, they need a medium light level and a low to medium water flow they are semi-aggressive and require adequate...

Snake I just reread your thread, let me understand you were temp acclimating while the shrimp was still in the bag. And after 10 min in the bag the shrimp died, so you never introduced any tank water into the shipping water.

Did the tank that the shrimp was in have fish in it also? Shrimp are very susceptible to water parameter changes. IMO 10 min acclamation is way too short. The only time I have lost a cleaner when first introduced into my tank was when I acclimated under an hour. IMO 1 ½ hours is the minimum...

The T stands for "tubular", and the number is the diameter of the base in eighths of an inch. So a T8 bulb is 1" in diameter, and a T5 is 5/8 of an inch. The main difference between T8s and T5s is their size; they also come in different wattages. T8s generally start around 17 watts and...
