I can't answer your question but you might want to post this in the disease message board for an answer.

Same here. I have only had Astera Snails. Mine have grown some and look exactly like miniature Astera snails.

I agree about the LMB. I had a Diamond Gobie once that was cool. I liked how he gulped up the sand and ran ir through his gills.

Best thing to do is find someone to come in and feed for you. My neighbor feeds the fish and cats while we are gone. He even tops off the tank when the water level gets low. Another alternative is to spen $40 on an automatic feeder device for the tank. It runs like a timer and drops a specific...

I don't use the suction cups. I hide mine in the LR. The LR supports the powerheads.

Green Hair Algae is just one of the many types of algae that can occur in aquariums. This is usually a sign of high nitrates or phosphates. These two are like fertilizer to algae. Also, running your lights a long time during the day promotes growth. Turbo and Asteria snails eat grenn hair...

I was able to find a hole in a piece of live rock and stuck it in there. It was a nice snug fit. I have heard that the super glue works well also. fbihunter, How do you frag your Colt? Mine had three braches attached to one rock. One of them came off and I placed it in another part of the tank...

Could they have jumped out? I have had fish to disappear only to find them dryed out on the floor at the back of my tank. I have a canopy but an open top tank. You might want to check your ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels. If you have an ammonia spike it is an indication that they have died...

The Home Depot off of Hanes Mall Blvd. & Stratford Rd. in Winston-Salem, NC has Southdown Tropical Playsad. They had about 12 bags left after I bought three bags. It is located in the Garden Department. It is $4.95 a bag. The bag says clean, sterilized and silica free.

SeaClones run about $100 as well. that is what I have on my 55.

I would have at least two to three powerheads. In my 55 reef tank I have four smaller ones with a combined 680 gph and a canister filter putting out 170 gph, however, I have corals and LR so I need more circulation. Many have raved about the powersweep powerheads. They do have an advantage in...

I have had two of mine jump out and die also. I call them suicide fish. I am going to try again but I am going to put some kind of top on my tank. I have heard some say that Tiger Cucumbers are excellent at cleaning sand.

I have a 29 gallon tank that I want to set up in freshwater. Anyone know of a site as good as this one on freshwater?

I have had a yellow tang in my 55 for two years and it has flourished with no problems. He was as big as a half dollar when I got him and now it is about 3.5 inches in length.

WOW! I haven't seen this much debate since the one on the use of Southdown sand! As with Southdown, I am sure others will try the HTH product and over time we will know if there are any problems or not. I work in the safety field and given OSHA and EPA and other government regulations and not to...

I have read that it is suggested to have 1 to 1.5 per gallon. For your 55 that would be 55 to 85 critters (blue legged hermits, red legged hermits, snails and the like).

I run a Fluval 203 canister on my tank for three years. I have had no trouble with them I use it mainly to circulate water and to use phosorb in it.

I had a powerhead wear out in my 55. I need to buy a new one. Out of curiosity, how many powerheads and what flowrate are needed for a 55 gallon tank? Thanks

Your LR in your tank will eventually make you sand live over a period of time. I see no need to put a piece of LR with the sand in a bucket for a period of time. This would probably kill the piece of LR. Another alternative would be to see if a friend with a reef and a DSB would give you some of...

I posted a thread several days back about my Toadstool Leather and my Green Striped Muchrooms not opening up for several days. Things have not changed. My polyps, Rock Anemone, Colt Coral and button polyps are doing fine and fully open each day. About the time of the problem with the leather and...
