I've tried Peppermint shrimp and even a Copperband butterfly fish. Neither work very well if at all. The lemon juics has worked like a charm. My concern is whether or not the dying aipstasia will affect my parameters or poison my water?

I have been battling Aipstasia lately with no luck. I was using Joe's Juice. The Apstasia would shrivel up but always came back. Recently I tried the lemon juice/syringe technique and it has been working great. I go in and squirt about 4 or 5 and then wait a couple days and then get a few more...

You dont want to raise the salinity too fast. Take a glass of water from your tank or a glass of RO water and add a few tablespoons of your salt mix to it and mix it thoroughly. Then pour it into your sump or directly into your tank in an area of high water flow. Do this for a few days until the...

Bone, anytime you want to throw some my way.... I just cant seem to keep it alive. No matter what I do, i just havent found out why it doesnt survive in my tank.

What are your thoughts on Teddy Bear crabs? I bought one today(not knowing what it was) for 5 dollars from someone who was breaking down their tank. I was there to buy other things and just picked this up as an extra. She got it in her tank as a hitch hiker on a piece of live rock. I stopped at...

Go to your local fish store and get some Joes juice. That is apstaisia and it will over run your tank in no time. It is an anemone but it is a nuisance anemone. Get it out now or you will be sorry.

You dont have to cure it because it is not live rock anymore. You killed everything off. Just put it in the tank and go.

I added two Peppermint shrimp to my tank two days ago and I haven't seen them since. Are they shy or are they night creatures?

The good thing about T.O. overdosing in Texas, is that he is not overdosing in Philly. Hey, maybe instead of calling him T.O. we should call him O.D.?

The best cure for Cyano is to increase your waterflow. Waterflow will also help with algae. Direct your powerheads at your rocks to keep detrirus fom forming on the rocks, that is what is promoting algae on your rock. And lastly, cut back the lightong ony your display tank to 8 hours and...

What kind of stand is it? Do you have pics of it?

Well like the heading says, I'm looking for a 55 gallon aquarium for sale in the Philadelphia area.

email me pics of both to trainfever at comcast.net

I am also in N.E.Philly. Well you've got Pets Plus at RedLion Rd and the Boulevard. Most of the guys in the fishroom used to work at The Hidden Reef, which was a really cool fish store but was destryed by a fire back around November. There is another good one near King of Prussia, East Coast...

Cant you boneheads take your converstion somewhere else? I'm trying to find out some information with this thread and you are polluting it with garbage. Please everyone, if you have nothing to add to my questions, then please do not comment here.

Where at in Philly are you?

Sorry about all the questions but for some reason Xenia just wont grow in my tank and I am trying to figure out why.

You are better off putting the rock in first. The reason is that the rock will be sure to be on the bottom of the tank and not on the sand. Having the rock securely on the bottom of the tank protects you from having your rock fall over in case of the rock being undermined, either by waterflow or...
