    NEW TANK.....

    I know what I want, this is true, but I am starting it slow. When I move I want to have everything ready to start the ball rolling. What's the difference between R/O, distilled, and spring water?.....I have read all the bottles and they have the same stuff written on them, but I see nothing...

    Hermit crabs-Opinions please

    I agree, I went to my lfs and wanted to buy 1, but the guy told me "NO! I will not sell you one for a reef tank!" when I asked why he showed me. He tossed in a very small piece of LR with a little bubbletip on it and 3 of them went crazy. These were the large hermits, not the small scarlet reef...

    Anemone Questions!

    I feed mine 1 live goldfish every 4th day, and on a daily basis i'll give it brine, silversides, frozen seafood, and i always add DT into the tank (Plankton) As for the clown accepting it, well that all depends on the clown. If it was a tank raised clown than he may never go near it, it's up to...

    SOS!!!!!!! SOS!!!!!!!

    I have to agree with @Knight and sammy, Copper is very resilliant when in a solid statethat is why they will use it in underwater piping at times. usually copper piping that is easy to bend will have the best chance at rusting and diffusing. Anyway do the water testing first, that doesn't sound...

    Hot Magnum

    Indy1, When you remove the top portion of the cannister, you will see your cartrige, and the black insert with the tube attached, there is a black ring on the top and on the bottom of this, make sure these are there(I left 1 in my sink one time when cleaning.) Also after you place the cartrige...

    power loss

    Here is a thought if you want to keep a power back-up, I was at my local computer store and I bought a surge protector/battery backup unit for $60. It has the typical 6 outlets, but this will allow me to run a single light for 12 hours (on battery power). They have different sizes, but they will...

    power loss

    I just had the same thing happen to me 2 days ago, power went out for 5 hours and when it came back on my fish looked a bit stressed, I did a partial water change and cleaned out my filters...in about 30 minutes they started to look better. HTH Dan

    Red Plume rock and Zoanthid

    I bought a red plume rock, and a rather large zoanthid yesterday, and was wondering if anyone knew anything about them. I have read what I could about the Zoanthid, but can't deem to find any info on the red rock plume. I know I shouldn't buy unless I do research first, but heck the price was...

    heat from lights raising temp

    Here's a thought for ya. Try hanging it so it will hover above your tank. Basically go to the local hardware store and buy either butterfly bolts, or ceiling hooks and enougn chain-link (doesn't have to be heavy duty unless you have alot of weight) and some nuts and bolts(2bolts per. nut) Ancor...

    Bubble Tip Anenome

    I just went through something somewhat similar, but yesterday I noticed my water level was a bit low, I checked my salinity level and it was 1.026 way too high. Anyway I brought my salinity back down and today he looks much better. My Hatian died due to this and I never thought it was something...

    FL Keys live sand

    Yep its true, Pirching is another way of saying it. For any kind of lr, ls, fish and inverts you need a specific divers license that says you are able to do this without destroying or harming things as you go. I know how it is ..the thought of just going out there and paying no more than gas on...
