Can you post a pic? Id like to see them. Id pay for shipping also. I dont mind.

Cool. Thanks.

I noticed a new hitchiker on one of my LR today. It was all white. Looks like a clam shell. It was moving itself around. Looks like a lil white tongue sticking out. Is this how clams move?? or do i have some type of snail? I cant post a pic cause my camera sucks.

Ill take some too.

IMO if you have no live stock in the tank just add the rock and wait out the cycle.

Ive been waiting for my clowns to host my hairy mushrooms. But i dont think they ever will. Ive seen a pic of a clown all wrapped up in one it was pretty cool.

Is it possible to have kH of 9.0 and a calcium of 360? I have a feeling my calcium test is giving me false readings. Its always 340-360. Think it might be time for a new one. Its only a few months old. Here are all my readings... ammonia - 0 nitrite - 0 nitrate - 10 ph - 8.3 sg - 1.024 Ca - 360...

I never clean it. Unless it really gets outta control. Food for my clean up crew.

Trying to find a better salt mix to maintain calcium and alk.
