    ? on Daisy corals

    I had a little piece of my daisy polyps break off (main colony is growing on a rock), they have attatched themselves to the back wall and are spreading. I have seen tanks that have the GSP growing on their back walls and I think it looks cool. So, my ? is, has anyone done this and then...

    protein skimmer is 12 gal ?

    Has anyone succesfully used a protein skimmer in one of their chambers for the 12 gal? I bought one when they first came out about 5 years ago, but they were almost impossible to use and it wasn't worth it. I see there is another one available for around 50$ not sure if anyone has used it or if...

    Snow Day!!!

    I have no work today!!! I still get paid though, which is sooooo sweet!! I love my job!! (home daycare). The only problem is I used my last gallon of water on my 6 gal tank and now I want to work on my 12 gallon tank but I'm stuck at home. I want to goto the LFS and get an urchin, although...

    Back when I joined this boards....

    I haven't been here in a while, almost a year I guess, but it seems a lot slower. When I joined the viewing numbers were in the 3 didgets. Now you see 23 viewing, it's crazy. I guess it's still help. There is also so few new threads started. Maybe thats a good thing that no one needs help.

    best way to start over...

    thanks, but I'm not sure why I got it. the only thing that has really changed is my water flow. I change my lights every year in Feb, I was told I couldn't have high phosphates if I use RO water, was that a lie? I buy it from Walmart. I don't over feed, I only have one fish I feed a pinch...

    best way to start over...

    I called my LFS and they said they were getting some urchins tonight, but they didn't know what kind. Does it matter what kind? I also wish I had a LFS that traded, but they dont. Well, not coral anyway, because of hitch-hickers he said. But maybe if I explain the situation he might give me...

    Sun Coral

    I miss my sun coral. I got one when I just started, the LFS said it was a YELLOW coral not a SUN corral. I had researched the sun coral and knew I didn't want to get one yet cause I was new. He assured me it was a fliter feeder and fine for a beginner. It was a sun coral. I did start feeding...

    best way to start over...

    well, I'm not done trying, that's extreem. My LFS (who so far has been good, I know some aren't) told me to scrub the rocks in a seperate bowl, not in my tank, then rinse them in salt water and put them back in the tank and wait a bit to make sure I got it all off. Which I did back in Oct, and...

    best way to start over...

    No I can't upgrade, I don't have the space. Plus I like the 12 gal. I got a 6 gal last year and it's doing great. I have had this tank for 5 years and it's been doing great, until the hair algae came. Not sure why it did, but now I can't get rid of it, I have been trying since Oct. and I'm...

    best way to start over...

    I've decided to break down my 12 gal nano-cube DX and start over. I have hair algae all over my back wall and some base rocks. The rocks I'm going to toss, there are only 2. The other corals and rocks are safe in my 6 gal for now. (although they aren't too happy). Questions: which is better...

    fuzzy stuff growing in tank

    YIKES!! it's 35$ for shipping! It would cost me about 45$ to get one lettuce slug thing, that I would have to give away when I was done. I think I'm definately going to break my tank down. Now that I have been looking at it closer, I think my pump isn't working very well. The wavemaker...

    fuzzy stuff growing in tank

    they have them for sale here for about 10$, but then i have to pay shipping and handling, I wonder if It's almost cheaper/quicker to just drain it and start over. Does my LS need to be in heated water or can I store it in a bucket until I have scrubbed everything?

    fuzzy stuff growing in tank

    forget that question, I just loooked them up and they are, plus I guess you wouldn't suggest them if they weren't. On this site it says they are 1" big, does that mean they come an inch big or that's as big as they get? And for a 12 gal how many would I get? And what do I feed them after all...

    fuzzy stuff growing in tank

    i was thinking of getting an urchin, but i don't think they are coral safe, and then what would i do with it. I'm not sure my lfs would let me borrow it either
