my question is do they stay on that disk forever then? or will they move onto some nearby rock?

i feel for ya, my first bta decided he liked the back of the tank behind my rocks. Didnt see him for months.

as for getting the bta to move, many people have tried directing a powerhead toward them to get them to move. sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. hit or miss like many things with bta

well in that case what things do you add to your water??? anything?

i went to the LFS last night and they told me the only thing i really should have now is iodine and if i wanted a plankton supplement that never hurts. (pretty much excatly what Mr. Bean said). So i bought Kent's Iodine solution and added a capful last night (i have a 55 gallon tank) and will...

i am also very interested!!!!

is this still for sale?

what does the iodine and strontium do for the corals? is it needed?

to be honest i've looked and SWF.com in actually very competive. Thier prices are pretty comparable and the shipping is very expensive anywhere due to the overnight need for live animals. My suggestion is maybe get with a friend and purchase the $75.00 needed for free shipping at swf.com. Thats...

I just got some Xenia and colt coral frags from a buddy of mine and these are my first corals. He was saying he adds things to his water to "feed" them, but i can't find anywhere i need to. What do you need to do to prep your tank for coral? do i need to add iodine or phyto?

if you recieve a piece thats not attached to anything (a frag) you can attach it to basically anything you want using the glue earlybird mentioned or the more preferred way of letting it attach itself. Go to your local hardware store and purchase some plastic netting(like eggcrate, but with...

OMG..... get that anemone back to the store and maybe try to recoup a little of what you paid. He will not make it to long and as stated before you dont want him dying. With those lights you should have only fish; no plants, anemone's, or corals. Spelulation... when you say temp should be...

you will have a mini-cycle becaue the bio-rings have the bacteria growing already as the LR will have nothing and will take a little bit to replace what the bio-rings had. I can only speak from my experiance, but on my 55 gallon i have 100lbs of LR and 40 lbs of LS and had the ehiem version of...

I know you already did, but in the future dont move them. Like everyone else said they will move on thier own to the spot in your tank they like. Unfortantly it seems thier favorite spot is in the back where you can't see them at all.

i will agree with everyone else on here... get a RO or RO/DI unit. If you want a unit that does the job, but w/o the name brand price tag go onto ---- and look for them. No offense but with a unit like Kent your paying for the name. They are all essentially the same and my $90 100 GPD 5-stage...

i havn't heard about removing it in stages, but for the bio rings i can understand because the system is established on a set amount of bacteria and if you take away a large portion it can throw things out of whack until it catches up. The carbon i would say doesnt matter since Carbon really...

I currently use an Eheim 2080 on my saltwater tank that i had from my freshwater days and its basically a expensive powerhead. I currently run a micron type bag filter filled with phosolock (to remove phosphates) and another bag full of carbon in my canister filter and would suggest the same...

Originally Posted by Nemo_66 all you have to do is tie it down in netting and ruberband the netting to the rock. i read that that is the best way, and it should attach it acouple of days. i read this too but doesnt this really limit where you can have it? if you want to attach to a main rock in...

i would like to know this as well... my buddy fragged me some today, but all he did is cut part of a "stalk" and gave it to me. Will this attach to a rock in a few days or did he just kill it? it has started to open up a little from when i put it in, but then it got knocked off the rock so when...
