Great Job, I wish my kids were as motivated as you. Keep up the good work, it's great to see young people enjoying this hobby!

Does anybody add additives to the make up water before doing a water change? All levels are ok, except the calcium, it reads 380. My tank is at 410 right now. Do I need to bring the level of my waterchange up to match? All opinions welcomed...

My wife did nothing but complain about the time I spent here and with the tank, until one day just recently she called me at work and told me there was a problem with the tank. No being able to come home immediately I walked her through a small problem or removing a snail who had become caught...

Visual benefits, clowns are seen more and their colors makes them a bright addition to a tank. Although I like the porcelain crab, it tends to stay hidden. Visitors will notice right off the clowns, but you generally have to point out the crab. Kids enjoy watching the clowns swim about.

Some countries allow harvesting as it is a main income for many locals. While other countries make it illegal it sometime still makes it to the black market. Some countries have areas that are harvested for a period of time and then allowed to recover for years before being harvested again...

I replace about 6 - 7 gals a week on my 135 gal.

If you have a quarantine tank set up you could keep them seperate and treat them for anything they might have before introducing them into you main tank. And as long as you are adding thing that are compatable with your main tank I don't think you'd have any problems. One thing that you might...

I currently use Kent Marine Liquid Calcium and Kent Marine Pro Buffer dKH. I'm still trying to balance out my ALK and CAL. Would switching to B-Ionics do a better job? I'm about to reorder supplies and would like some opinions from those who have tried both or are happy with the ones they...

On an average when do you have you lights on? I currently have mind on from 12pm til 10 pm. Does cutting back on the lights affect the corals? Affect hair algae? What is the average that you would need to run the lights to acheive a balance?

I agree, s/h need to be checked . If buying in qty it's usually cheaper to buy online. If only one thing is needed you LFS comes out cheaper if you include freight in you online purchase. Most of what I have seen in my area is that the LFS marks up the dry goods about 50%.

When you use these for just a few hours or days. do you reuse them again? How long can you use them or do you just throw them away after one use?

Having a similar situation. I too have had mine for 1-1/2 yrs. Added a few corals, flowerpot, frogspawn. Lemonpeel atarted acting as though it was being agitated by something. Has been trying to get my sally to clean it. No visuable signs of anything. Thought ICH at first, but no white...

Can you describe the procedures for a freshwater dip? As far as the outbreak, it only appears to be starting. Lemonpeel is hovering over and practically under the sally, as though trying to get some help. It is scratching on the rocks, along with the pysdo. I appreciate the help.

Cool tank...I like the leather. Hope to be adding one in my tank soon.

I know I don't have much in my tank, but my lemonpeel is showing signs of ick. What can I do to treat it that doesn't harm the other things I have in my tank? Please help, fish is stressing.

I agree with the psuedo...right now mine keeps me from adding any other fish right now. It's his tank unti I catch him. Not ready to break the tank down just yet. Trying the patient appraoch and trying to get him into a trap.

My lemonpeel has been working an area of rock and everytime my sally lightfoot go to that side of the tank, the lemonpeel will hover almost on top of it, fluttering its fins and slapping the sally on the head with it's tail., chasing it away. Is this a normal occurance?

Where do you buy your corals? Since SWF doesn't seem to offer much in the coral section of U-Build It. Where do you get your? My LFS store has limited corals & I have shared orders with another hobbist in the past. Other than that I have to drive 1-1/2 to Houston to get anything. Does...

You can find whats left under the acclimation section then do a search. Lots of stuff is listed as being out of stock. Not sure if you can still but though. I haven't tried. I think they only use the U-Build section, but not much coral there.

Mine is enjoyable late at night when it opens. During the day it's just there, not much to look at. I have mine also out of the light under a rock shelf and it starts to open when the last of the lights go out, this includes the room lights also. When the sun starts coming up in the morning...
