    I agree with the above. I mostly look for size, shape and price.

    Feather Duster---Live rock or Substrate?

    Hey there. I would suggest puting it on or in your live rock. I've had good luck placing feather dusters in the holes of my live rock...they live to burrow in and attatch. Good luck.

    do pepermint shrimp hide?

    I added two peppermint shrimp, didn't see either of them for a couple of days, but now I see one all the time. The 2nd shrimp I never see, and I assume that he got ate. Survival of the fittest. They do like to hide quite a bit, but you should be able to see them after the lights are off. Try...

    Before you try fishing them out, you might try this. don't feed your fish for a day or so. Then get your net out, and carfefully place some food in the net, preferbly something large enough so it won't float out or through the net. I like to use krill shrimp. The fish will come to the food...

    Keeping an Anenome put.

    I would suggest smashing your anemone with a rock. I accidentally did this with my anemone when I was changing my live rock around, and it split into 3 different anemones. The way I have it figuered is, if you have three, one will settle where you want it to. On a more serious note, I would...

    Live Sand/Rock In Sump?

    Everything I have ever heard (or read) leans towards at least 4" of sand. Remember, your LFS has a unique set of circumstances, such as the number of employees tending to a single tank, overfeeding the fish....the have no vested interest in the health of their tanks....they don't work off...

    Help! Frogspawn sick or dying.

    Thanks for the reply. I checked, and I don't have corals within reach of this frogspawn. Two of the four branches are dead, and of the two branches that are still alive, the "arms" only come out, maybe an eighth of an inch. The dying frogspawn is a really cool color too, and I'd like to save...

    Help! Frogspawn sick or dying.

    I have 3 Frogspawns in my 55 Reef; a brown, a bright green and a light green. I've had the bright green Frogspawn the longest, but it appears to be dying back, with several branches that are completly dead. My other two Frogspawns are doing great, showing new growth, etc, so I don't think the...

    Where to buy Southdown in WA State?

    Okay. I just checked with Home Depot. They do not carry Southdown and can't get it this far West. I also asked for Tropical Play-Sand by Southdown as "TheReefMan52" suggested, but that is also a no-go. Thanks to everyone who posted a reply here. BillyV

    Kick ICK

    Kick Ich DIDN'T work for me either. I had a Clown Tang with Ich, and it ended up dying after the Kick Ich treatment. Don't waste your time or money.

    shroom on the loose

    Yes, Cheese cloth does work for attatching mushrooms to rock. It can be purchased in any major grocery store. I tried this recently, and it work pretty well for the most part. The only problem I encountered was that the cheese cloth seemed to get torn apart after just a few days, either from...
