I think 25% water changes weekly is a bit much. I would only do 10% at the most weekly. Could be stressing things out a bit.

Sounds like shock. Mine did that and when i put him in the tank he was all over the place.

Dont do a water change until your tank is finished cycling. Wait til ammonia, nitrites are at 0 then do a 20% change to control the nitrates.

My nassrius snails spend most of their time on the rock and glass.

Live goods are shipped next day Fed-Ex.

Thanks for clearing that up mud. Im going to consider a cucumber now. I just have a newly setup tank and im starting to get attached to my clowns and i dont wanna hurt them. :) Any suggestions on which species to get?

I do 10% weekly changes. I have a protein skimmer. Good flow. I dont have a DSB though. Sea cucumbers are toxic. No thanks.

I need to keep my sand white. What are some good sand cleaners for a 46 gallon? Right now i have blue leg hermits, astreas, turbo snail, emerald crab, nassarius snails. I need some good things to keep the sand nice and clean of poop and algae.

I have one of those too. Could have been mixed in with my order from this site. I noticed him a week or so ago.

Are the white spots moving? If they are its pods. A good thing. As for ordering from this site you can order anything and they will ship. Its free shipping on orders $79 and up.

Seen them like 4 times. They rock live. Last time i saw them was Family Values Tour 2001. I cant believe they did away with that tour. I have their new single Right Here off their new album Chapter V if anyone is interested ill send it. Just drop me a message. :D

If your still cycling then dont add livestock. You can just scrape it off if it gets out of control but dont get rid of it all cuz when you do add your cleanup crew they will need food.

If your starting a new tank than it is normal. Its diatom algae and it will eventually go away.
