Thanks, I'll get on that tonight.

Whats that? Sorry if that is a dumb question.

OK I am an idiot. I have 2 300gph powerheads in my 29g and 1 of the same in my 10g QT. In my main I had some snails get sucked into the cone that covered the intake. So I took the cones off, I think the cones were to adapt the PH to an undergravel filter or something. Then later in my QT I cam...

I am looking for 130 watts for my 29g. What is the Coralife model #? Length? Picture? How long have you had it? Shipping cost? Thanks! P.S. If its a go on the lights... I'd be happy to take the Astria snails off your hands also.

Do any bangaii owners have any stories about these guys eating shrimp? or any advice on adding a bangaii to a peaceful tank with clowns, a cleaner and a few peppermint? I also noticed some posts a month or two ago about WC fish being affected by a parasite? Should these fish be avoided right now?

What fits in their mouth?!! That doesn't sound reef safe to me. I like all my shrimp, maybe I should pass on the bangai?

I have a 6 month old 29 gallon with 2 clowns. I am QTing a royal gramma for addition to the main in 2 weeks. I am considering one final addition, perhaps a bangai cardinal. My LFS has a dozen or so and I am having trouble resisting. Are they aggressive? Will they want to eat my peppermint...

I noticed my cleaner shrimp (3 peppermint and one skunk)Have black spots on them. It began w/ one of the peppermints. It molted and it went away. But it is back. Someone said Epicaridean isopod. Big words scare me! What is that? How do I find out if the have it? How does it get there? Can...

I just got a few shrooms. They came on a half shell. Will they move off to the live rock? Should I encourage them to move? The shell isn't perfectly stable and I don't want a snail or hermit to knock it off or something. Can anyone give me some mushroom etiquete?

Firefish Goby was dead on arrival. Are they tough to ship? Everything else looked OK. But I am bummed. Has anyone gone through the whole return deal?? Is it worth the hassle? Next: do you go lights out in your tank when you add inverts? How long do you QT a specimen that is in good health? 3...

THANKS BETH I would be a complete idiot without the help in these forums. (with all the help I am only an idiot 60% of the time.) Sponge is out, few lbs of LR is in (for now), 50% water change tonight, test Wed, add fish next week if #'s are good.

The sponge is gone. But it was purchased from a crunchy tree hugger store. It was a sponge that I assumed washed up on some beach somewhere. I just added it for surface area. I took it out. I have added a few lbs of live rock. If the fish I put in the QT have ick will this live rock get ick...

Hypo with live rock??!! Won't that "kill" my rock? I don't want to get garbage on a piece of live rock in my QT then drop that evil back into my main. So I have some LR I can leave in the QT... but doesn't that work against the purpose of having a QT??? I mean I want the QT tank to be able to...

OK. (The sponges I used were boiled & organic but I hear you) My question for that would be won't the live rock hinder the QT process? I mean can't ick and parasites get in the rock and reproduce? No substrate but live rock is OK? Or do you just mean put the rock in for the cycle then take it...

I meant I took a brand new kitchen sponge and cut it into cubes. Then I put the cubes in the filter around where the carbon insert goes. This was a small filter with no biowheel so I figured increasing the surface area would promote bacteria to grow

5 weeks ago I set up a 10g QT. I jumped it with a container of substrate from my cycled main. I have fed it regularly and after a few weeks I threw an aggressive blue hermit in there to save a snail or two. I have been testing weekly. The nitrites topped out a while back at 0.2 then went...

I have a 29g, with 35lbs of live rock. I am a rookie and this is a fairly new FOWLR set up... down the road I hope to upgrade to a semi reef. I began with CC and switched last month to sand. One of the first purchases from my LFS was a half dozen blue leg hermits as a clean up crew for my CC...

how many watts? pictures? shipping?

OK I had moved my fish to a QT for treatment so I figured it was time to change my CC to sand. I bought 50lbs of Old Castle Southdown from Home Depot. After soaking it in water and removing my CC (to a pair of pantyhose) I added the sand to my tank over a few days. The cloudyness cleared up...

I got my QT operational. I am going to have to work diligently to keep it from cycling… BUT, I have a hospital. I couldn’t find formalin. But I did find Rid Ick that has formalin as an active ingredient. So I began by adding one teaspoon of Rid Ick to my 10g QT. I went home for lunch and…...
