    Proper way to rinse dry sand???

    I put a hose in the bottom of a bucket in the basement sink. I fill it with the sand and turn the water on pretty low. When it starts to run clear I jiggle the bucket until it clouds up again. I repeat until the jiggling part takes too long.

    1st time post: need help with low salinity

    Don't assume that someone else has properly maintained equipment. The day before they began to show the house may have been the only maintenance the tank has ever gotten. I would start by replacing the cartridges in the water purification system.

Items being shipped to a destination in your own area (zone one) are likely to get there in one day via regular ground. Ask what...

    What is wrong with pink tip

    A store can't really say this will happen because it's totally unproven. Scientist have narrowed the workings of the symbiotic relationship between clownfish and anemone down to a couple of theories. Why that relationship would fail in a particular anemones case is impossible to figure out...

I was also the aquarium department manager for a...

    What is wrong with pink tip

    It can take anywhere from 1 week to close to a year, but it will happen It depends on the size of the anemone compared to the size of the fish. I would go farther than not worrying about the lights, and remove the anemone immediately. These anemones (condi family) are indigenous to the to the...

    Why DAMSELS?

    Most people who think damsels are mean are keeping them incorrectly. They are a schooling fish and need to be kept in groups of three or more, preferably odd numbers.

    What is wrong with pink tip

    Don't you have some clownfish? Clowns who aren't from the Atlantic or Caribbean, because they recognize them, will appear to host pink tips but the anemone will eventually kill them.
