Do you know if you have even really started a cycle?? Have your water tested. You're cycle has begun when you get an ammonia spike (otherwise ammonia should always be 0) when its over, your Ammonia and Nitrites will be at 0 and your Nitrates should be relatively low, no higher than 15ppm if at...

I love that story. :rolleyes:

Not meaning to put a damper on everyones fun, but did I actually read that you made that out of aluminum and then you put it in your tank???? Of course it changed color, its oxidizing (if it were steel it would be rust). It's alway a strong recommendation to not use anything metal (including...

I would say definately on mushrooms, maybe on the bubble coral and the hammer, and no on any of the others. IMO.

If you're wanting to go with lots of coral in a 20 gallon I would say you should probably stop at those two fish if not take one out. I would recommend a protein skimmer to keep the water chemistry a little more stabile than with just rock and sand. It shouldn't hurt the Gramma to be...

Not right now they don't. They just started up a few weeks ago, their shop is just big enough to park my truck in, lol. But like I said they can get anything you want, which is good that they don't necessarily have it in stock, prevents impulse buying. This Thursday night between 7 and 9...

No it's at 34th and Coulter right next to Santa Fe restaraunt. It's not big by any means, but their prices will make you go in to shock compared to FP's and they can get you anything you want. Most of the employees there are the good ones that USED to work at FP's.

lol, I guess good Name ideas are hard to come by, lol.

By two stores are you talking about Exotic Aquatics also??? Or is there one I havent been able to find? I'm right on the South tip of town (a few blocks from FP's) and I will gladly drive from here to the new one instead of going to fish pros.

How bout it, is the tank still for sale, or did you give it to Fish Slo's?

HEY, I CALL AMARILLO, you can have the rest, lol

Looks like some kind of Xenia.

I'm only assuming they're egg layers, lol, I have no clue.

I turned on my lights and added a CA supp. Simple as that.

I have to frag mine every 3 or 4 months. I usually take two pairs of pliers, I grab each brach toward the base of the split and twist. It feels like you're breaking a bone, and it'll splinter a little. Some may not agree with this method, but I went from having one FS frag a year ago and now...

I've asked a question about this before, I was informed that even if the eggs make it, the babies never will. Too tempting to our fish friends I guesss.

Journey man pretty much nailed the theory on the head. However you must understand that the sand bed cannot "make nitrates worse". It has to do with the care you provide to your maintenance. DSB's are great, though I have never had a problem with my 2.5" sand bed. My Nitrates are usually...

Agreed, if its dried up it's already dead. Once a sponge has been exposed to air it's pretty much gone.

I would think about boiling it after you rinse it. Any surface, including rocks, will take on coraline algae over time. It's ok to put stark white rock in the tank, just make sure you clean them off good, which should be the process for any base rock whether it has chalky white stuff on it or...

I'd be willing to help out a new additon to the SW family. I'm cprdnick on AOL and Yahoo messengers if ya ever catch me on. As far as what you can re-use, it depends on what you are talking about. You need some form of filtration and depending on your application, different lighting. What kind...
