well you might have had a pseudo established tank. did you use all live sand and was your live rock placed in the tank relitivly quickly after you bought it from the lfs? also did you use a raw shimp? lastly your skimmer doesnt have to be on because you want bad stuff to build up in the water so...

well ill let you know how to resize and resample. you need a picture editing program. i have been recomending irafanview on this website for quite a while now. its free and all you need to do is go to www.cnet.com and search for it,download it, install it, and then use it. you need to open the...

welcome to the board hotbomb. i ahve a 55 and all i have and am putting in in the near fututre is my pj cardinal (now), 2 clown (false perc)(future), and a royal gamma (future). the rule of thumb is 1 adult inch of fish for every 5 gal of water. as you get more equipment and better equipment you...

i just got a pj cardinal and i was wondering if he would like a buddy or do tend to be solitary fish? im planning on getting 2 false percs next week. so they will be my highlights of my tank.

did u just put in plain tap? or did u use conditioner like amquel?if you didnt use it then thats why it ha a high copper reading. i used tap water and used a conditioner, got the water tested and it had a "0" copper reading

well if we are talking about fish tanks then salt will stay in the tank. unless you have an airstone and the you will get a ton of creep. the salt on the road on the other hand is really corosive, its rock salt from a mine and mixed with calcium (thats the tank on the back of the trucks you...

here is a pic of my set-up for drip acclimation. its so simple its stoopid not to do it. all i did was syphin the water into a new 5 gal bucket useing plain ole airline tubing. i taped the tube to the handle of the bucket. then i moved the handle up and don until i got the flow i wanted. also i...

lighting is always tough to answer on here because everyone has a diferent opinion. alot of people say use 8 watts to every gal of water you have. they also say use mh lights for corals and anem's. but there is always someone out there that uses something thats not suposed to work and has great...

damn i cant spell lol. i meant reef not reff

i recomend you use aragalive reff substrate. just because its nicer looking then just argonite sand. imo. but take it from the other people here dont go cheap and get crushed coral. you'll reget it

the blue legs are my entertainment when there is nothing on the t.v. i just watch them for a while and im bound to see some action. i kind of like it

ok am i the only one that picked up on this guy using a freshwater fish in a swt in one sentence and then typed he doesnt want to stress the fishout. dude you sent the fish to the death chamber.the lfs gave you that fish so it would die and start the cycle. i am realy morbid and i take pleasure...

i had a visijet and i had a ton of bubles in the tank. i played with it for 2 days a then took it back. i got a red sea prizm and the thing works like a champ. i only paid like 69 dollars for it. (it was on sale). plus it doesnt fill up my tank eighther

another way you could have done it was drip acclimate them. by useing a bucket and airline tubing. i just did it for my pajama cardinal and he was happy as a clam within 10 min. of putting him in the tank

i fell the same way on a tiny scale.lol i like watching my blue leg hermits stare down each other before they lock into battle for shelll supremicy. lol i guess im a little morbid

i have the pink flamingo carib sea stuff in my tank. i really like it because it not only has the sand and sand chips but it has little pink rocks in it like the size of a marble. i think its really neat

well if you want to go the slow and cheaper way.imo and only take it as my opinion. get a 5 gal bucket and put the deadsand in. use the water from your tank that you used for a water change. throw alittle fishfood in it and throw a powerhead in the bucket and let it sit for about a month. i...

did you try a mag float and scub the scap out of it? thats the only thing i can think of, sorry.

well why dont you just nix the hole waterfall thing and just use a sump skimmer set-up? you should post a picture of this set-up and maybe we can comeup with something. i wont give up till that women with big bones sings.

did you try adding glass tops. i aslo saw someplace a product that cleans salt of and puts a coating on the surface that stops salt from reacumulating on that surface. the most basic and redneck way would to just slap a sheet of suran wrap on he top lol
