ld buy a copper test kit to test the copper levels and proceed from there. I have no idea how much could leech from the fitting, but any ammount is not good. I have heard of people using coppersafe. might do a search for it and see what you find.

thanks, it has been 2 days and the caulerpa is very green and ealthy looking, so my gess is it will be fine. I was worried about the spectrum.

use a razor blade or pruning shears and make a clean cut. i believe the colt corals, some shrooms and leathers, you want to do this outside the system as they can release toxins into the tank. then use superglue gel to adhere it onto the LR of your choice. at least this is the method that I...

go to www.purearagonite.com they have a sand bed calculator on their site. the link should be ok, as they only sell dead sand, and swf does not. -i hope....

by his tests, if he has no ammo or trites, a damsel or clown will do just fine. however, i do agree the best thing would be to let the tank get established first. waiting a month or 2 would not hurt anything. but, imo (feel free to disagree) adding a hardy fish will not hurt nor help...

pure aragonite is also the same stuff as southdown sand. check out their website

i had the same thing happen to me. after 6 months I had a diatom bloom. brown stuff growing on patches and spreading over the sand. It got really bad after about 3 weeks later. a week after that they startedd dieing off. it only went across the sand. -

right, but its not a PC ist an incandescent. think that will still work? i went ahead and bought it ($10 for the bulb plus $5 for the socket) so if it doesnt work, no big loss.

im going to bed, but any other questions ask here or e-mail me knight.aaron@home.com

clownfish are a type od damsel and are very hardy and usually good tankmates. My favorite is the clarkii and percula. they are great in pairs and are easy to care for. a good first fish. they eat just about anythibng offered, but mine loves to eat frozen mysis. sounds like it would be fine...

sounds like your past that stage really. the shrimp is put into the tank to decay and start the cycle. Your cycle was prolly started by die-off from your LR. Your levels sound fine. You should be ok to go ahead with a damsel, clownfish, or another hardy fish. Your tank is still very young...

you think that an incandescent plant light would grow caulerpa in a fuge?

i personally prefer the berlin line, i like mine and it works well. I have the classic with turbo upgrade kit. however, both are great skimmers. The choice is entirely yours. the both will do the job.

BTW, welcome to the board. but, you only need to post once :D in any case, it sounds like you might need to read-up and learn a little more about what you are getting in to. i recommend getting a good book, and also, for some pointers, BurNSpy has a great website that can answer a lot of...

you need to let your tank cycle first, you did not restart the cycle, cuz it never finished. test your nitrites, when you see there is 0 ammonia and 0 nitrites, you are good to go. I would not use fish to cycle, get a piece of raw shrimp from the grocery store and drop it in or just use...

using tapwater in your tank is asking for trouble. aside from the flourene addded to most systems, copper pipes are also sometimes used and other non-trace minerals can be introduced to the system as well. [ November 20, 2001: Message edited by: @knight ]

typically, you dont want bubbles in your tank, unless they're from the DSB. IMO, leave the cute little bubbled for the FW tank, cuz all they will do is make the water cloudy. the skimmer and water movement should give you more than enuf O2 in the tank. is there a reason you think your tank is...

add caulerpa and it will starve the hair algae. get a few hemits to clean up. Natural and effective.

i dont have a mech filter running on mine. i have an emp 400 that only moves water, but i can put in a filter if i ever need to.

what do you mean "His fish seem a little ill?"
