Get a 5.5 gallon aquarium and an air filter.

I had two of the big brown herms...they were cool to watch fight one another. Violent little guys....like boxers...jabbing one another with their claws... The dwarf blues I have now tangle up every now and then...they are sorta fun to watch...not as aggressive as the two brown ones. But by all...

Cynobacteria is just that...bacteria. It is not an algae. Water quality will affect it, disturbed biological filtration will cause it as well. Other causes of red slime are excessive nutrients. Mainly, nitrate and phosphates. Being it is a bacterial type infection, erythromycin is the...

The first cloudiness was probably from the cycling. Cycling isn't a very fast process. The second cloudiness was probably caused by the sand being turned. Also with the sand being turned, you will experience an additional cycle. You may consider conduction more frequent water changes. While the...

Flush the hermit.

I just got the SOS a few days ago. It is silent, makes no noise at all. Has an excellent safety to prevent flooding. It is about 9 inches wide and about 9 inches high. It is about 3-4 inches deep.

The 3 stripe is probably the most aggressive Damsel, followed by the domino. They will bicker at each other and continuously "punk" the yellow tail out. The yellow tail is one of the more peaceful damsels. As for the cycling, as mentioned, there is no such thing as instant cycling. And for 25...

Hey 20gal...throw some broken glass...a couple beer cans, maybe a finger or toe...then you could make it look like long island sound. :) It is a start... as long as your fish live...it is a good start.

UV sterilizers circulate water through a canister containing a UV light. The light kills many parasites, most algea spores, and all bacteria. The dwell time (time water is exposed to the light) determines what will be killed. Parasites require a much higher dwell time then algae and bacteria...

One of my seahorses will always come to your finger and wrap her tail around your finger. All the time at the glass when you walk up. Pretty cool the individuality some fish can demonstrate.

Stick to the online community for your hardware...infact...right here at Saltwaterfish.com.

If you took 50% of the original water out of the tank at one time, and replaced it with new, you could have caused a little damage to your bio system, which would cause a slight cycle type of condition...the red slime is actually cyanobacteria. With just a major water change though, it should...

Would it be too much to ask you to move to say Hartford, CT really quick there samuelstingray?

I have ordered on a couple of occassions from a company in California. Both times, shipment arrived fine, with the exception of one anemone. I live in Connecticut.

Nice job! Mind sharing the plans?

I am interested. I sent you an email on 12-15-02.

Live rock contains a mass amount of various life forms. When disturbed and/or exposed to air, most of this life will naturally die off. This die off will create a huge spike in your amonia, etc. Curing the rock is basically removing this die off debris either manually, or allowing nature take...

They are scavengers, will eat anything on the bottom.

Ok, I hve a friend who is into Triggers...checking into it right now.

Still got the fish?
