chandler, don't dis people and then spew some ridiculous statement like you just made. featherdusters are NOT aggressive msd2. they don't have the ability to be aggressive. they are very nice passive additions to marine tanks.

you could get a couple of sexy shrimp. they stay out in the open all the time. cleaners and fire shrimp get much larger and would probably look disproportionate in a small tank. starfish are very sensitive to salinity and ph changes and would be a challenge in there. snails definitely...

there are examples on this board of people keeping bubble tips and long tentacled anemones with the light you are proposing. i have a friend who has had a long-tentacled for about 15 months with the exact same tank and lights you were asking about (40 gallon - 192 watt). condys are a lower...

i tested again today, the 15th, on a tank i know is not zero. it's low, but NOT zero. but the test read zero, AGAIN. i shook the first reagant like crazy, in fact, i shook the snot out of all of them, just for kicks. i'm going to test a freshwater tank tomorrow that i know is around 50. the...

any ideas as to what directly led to these symptoms? i mean as far as chemical composition of the salt mix. thanks in advance bang.

ha, just watch him, you'll see. mine will bury himself in the sand for days at a time. the first time, i was sure he was a goner.

i've got 35 lbs. of live sand in my 30, i didn't want to use a bunch of space with a deep sand bed. it's personal preference really. i'ld skip the cup of live sand unless it's the same color and grain size of sand and just use live rock. the minimum for rock is what you can afford. most...

what he said. oh, and you might need a powerhead or two and test kits to monitor water conditions.

trace elements will be replenished through regular waterchanges. many people here dose a two part additive to keep alk, ph, and calcium balanced.

thanks, skirrb still hasn't shown up in the inbox. don't want to take away from your thread, but i guess these are all bumps anyhow. post pics after you paint it black. nice.

you can email if you want. diddleyd@msn.com this site gets stranger by the day. she was a regular and seemed quite caring and considerate. did she start telling everyone to stop doing waterchanges and to add plants? ha.

skirrby, what happened to waterfaller?

what happened to waterfaller? anyone know? she was on here all the time.

i wish that was the case. i've checked the kit on three tanks, two of them i know don't have 0 trates. one was the lfs tank, which they said was "around" 40. my kit=0. my phosphates are 0.03 with a salifert kit. i use marc weiss phosphate and silicate magnet. thanks for the updates.

i observed trates slowly lower over the last six months while doing weekly waterchanges.

please do. my first kit, which came with the lab was fine. i watched my nitrates rise and lower after the cycle, but i used all the reagents. so, i bought this one and it's useless. also the the color shades on the test card are noticeably different with the second (stand-alone) kit having...

the first red sea kit i used came in their marine lab multi. it was fine. this one is junk.

?

it hangs on the back of the tank like a powerfilter. most people run lights on their refugium at the opposite schedule of their tank lights to prevent ph fluctuation.

i forgot to mention that i've tested the kit on three different tanks, including one at the fish store, which they said was about 40 ppm nitrate. all test zero. this kit is a lemon.
