    mixing fish

    Firefish gobies are fine with percs. I have a pair of firefish gobies in my 70g as well as a pair of percs. My firefish spend most of their time hiding in thier darthole under a piece of LR if not they are handing out in the back of the tank.

    Algae between DSB and Glass

    Shrimp and Cycling

    I was setting up my quarantine tank and was getting ready to cycle it. Is it okay to use some of the frozen raw uncooked shrimp that I have and save me a trip to the store?

    Seeding w/ LR

    I have 120lbs of aragonite in my 75g that I am ready to seed with 20lbs of LR. Do I mix the two together or just layer the LR on top? Also when should I add the pre-cured live rock that I was planning to add?

    Southdown Alternative

    Where I live (Minot, ND) I am not able to get Southdown sand to mix with LS for my base. From the forum I have found purearagonite.com as a popular alternative to Southdown. Are there any other recommendations as to a good place to get sand? Thanks.
