how long have you had it? it could be acclimation shock. Also what other tankmates do you have with it? there are several types of fish that will pick at starfish.

id say look for 2500 at least with all the things you have comming with it.

generally it woudl have already been dead for a cleaner shrimp to eat something. depends on what type of shirmp it is though. which one do you have?

yes there is on however its in the ppb range not the ppm range. for aquarium uses its not almost nothing. but when you are talking about boilers that have water requirements on the order of 10,000 gpm and for electronic manufacturing requirements of 500- 600 gpm you are talking about millions...

distilled is evaporated and re condensed to form pure water. di water is demineralized and has low salt content dissolved in it.

if yo0u want to keep stainless steel in salt water you need the type called sea-cure. its a non copper based stainless alloy. its the lowest grade of stainless that wont corrode in seawater applications. you could also get chromoly (4301 i think) or the equal to that. other than those types of...

my bad i cant type

it sounds like hes established a teritory in the middle of you tank where the xenia is and hes trying to get the BTA in his territory as well rather than swimming between the 2 locations

You were right about the other shrimp. i came home from work today to find that it had shed and now the 2nd one has a load of eggs too.

oh i forgot to mention as long as you have water running to the unit you will have a reject stream going down the drain. be aware of that when you are operating it becasue if you live in a city like me you pay for the sewer discharges.

when i put shrimp on the clip he goes after it ferociously. I think my racoon butterfly fish might be scared of him.

i dont really care for them than much they do look amazing as adults but i think i like them better as juvi's

generally the whole skeleton comes off at once. you may have something beathing on the hermits.

RO and DI water is too good to drink. It lacks a lot of the nutrients and salts that your body needs drinking it is not healthy it very bad for you. Trust me this is what i do for work. Currently i design water treatment systems for power plants. Before that i was a process engineer for a...

the rock will cause a spike when you put it in at first especiually if you dont get fully cured rock.

Is there an angel fish that looks like the Emperor Angel does as a juvenile premenantly? My girlfriend loves the way the Juvi looks but doesnt like the adult and i hate giving fish away. So something that looks liek that for its entire life would be perfect.

you can take the rock that he is sitting on out of teh water and take a whiff. if it smells like death (youll know when yo usmell it) it is dead. Otherwise given the propper conditions it should bounce back.
