Got my shipment this morning! I acclimated the star and angel for almost 3 1/2 hours and they are both doing great! I was impressed, within 5 min of putting them in my tank the CB was eating and the starfish was nestled into the crevace of a rock. The Ricordea opened up in the bag and is...

Option #2... fill the tube with water and seal both ends with saran wrap, holding it shut with your hands. Turn the tube over, holding tightly so the saran wrap holds in the water. Once the U Tube is seated in the overflow, pull both ends of the saran wrap off, pulling the sump side .000001...

Like how off? What are the readings?

That exact same thing happened to me. I bought a handled razorblade jobbie and it scraped off after soaking in hot water.

I'm a newb.. what kind of microfauna would I have in my tank that I may not want him to eat? I could use a few gazillion less spaghetti worms so if that's it then Is he coral safe?

It's 8 months old... I already hit the order button Can't I put the cleaner clam in my DT? I think it'd be kind of interesting.

My newest Phos test with API shows 0.

Sorry, was gone for a bit.. update on the orange powder.. I don't think it's cyano, 3 doses of cyano chemical and it's no better. I tried blowing it into the water every day for almost a week but it didn't get any better. I'm also including updated water specs and pictures. The orange powder...

I am making a SWF.com purchase and I need some crabs and snails. Right now in my 55 gallon I have 2 mexican turbo's, 1 small turbo, 4 nessarius snails, 1 Emerald crab and 4 red hermits (pretty little ones). The SWF.com snails and crabs I want each come in 10's. Here's what I have in my order...

My tank is covered in this light dusting of orange powder. Rocks, sand and such have it. I thought it was maybe cyano but I've treated it 3 times now and it's still there... I even blew it all into the water hoping that'd get rid of it during one treatement but it all just settled down. Does...

I need a coral for a rock that's directly under a Maxijet 1200 with wavemaker. This rock gets a TON of motion but is flat and boring and just aching for a coral frag. I also need a VERY easy coral! My tank currently likes GSP types and mushroom types... Xenia and Zoos are not doing too hot...

A plain ol'Sump is just a seperate tank to increase your water amount. You can also put in a filter or heater or protein skimmer (etc) to keep the unsightly equipment out of the DT. The main purpose of a sump though is to increase your water. Add a fuge to it and it takes on a whole new life...

Ok.. IYO should I switch to Instant Ocean with my low number of inverts or stick with Reef Crystals? Do you concur that I need Kalk?
