I don't use it for at least 24 hours, but do I really need a power head to mix it. ? Isn't shaking it in the gallon jugs enough?

That brings up another question. I mix salt and do not use it for a day or more. But when I put it in the tank you can see the salt,,like its hazy. I do shake it quite a bit in each gallon jug, so is it suppose to look like that?

Really got a good laugh from this link. Thanks guys.

Thanks to all of you who have replied to my question. Wanted to get another peppermint shrimp but the LFS had only small ones and did not want another death on my hands. Everything else is getting along o.k. except for a few of the nas and other snails. some have died. They are getting...

I had, but can't find anymore, a peppermint shrimp. 24 gal. aquapod, lr,ls,nas, turbos,2 sandsifting starfish, green brittle star, 2 emerald crabs, lta. The only thing I can think of is the brittle star, or maybe the crabs, although they are small. I know the shrimp tried to climb in the...

I have two clowns in my 24 gallon aquapod. On of them seems to be scraping the side of the tank somewhat, but that did not concern me since it was just every now and then,.. Can't see anything on them though. I have seen a couple of worms in or crawling on the rocks. One is very small...

Didn'[t get the BTA but lfs said that I could have an anenome and there was a real nice long tenacle anenome that his pair of clowns were in so I got it two days ago. So far doing good. Clowns not in it yet though...Any comments about them?

they are beautiful!! What is that in the back of the tank? Is it coraline? I have the same thing on the used tank I bought and was thinking that they tried to paint the purple cause of some being white and some real dark purple and the rest violet. ( Forgive me for being uninformed but I am...

Just can'[t wait till its safe to get a BTA for my clowns.

yes, tested water. All parameters are great. Going to lfs tomorrow and will bring sample just to double check my readings. Like I said, when I bought the tank, he brought the lr in the bucket of water that was in the tank, and the coral frags were brought in the bucket also. So it just was a...

Tank has been set up about a week. Already cycled cause lfs who I bought tank from came and set it up for me with his water that was in it (used tank) and some of his LR that had been cycled also. Then I put in a pair of clowns and a cleaning crew. So I am very new at marine tanks, fish, etc...

are Zoos different than Zoas? (I am very new here. Tank only set up a week) My sand sifting star goes too slow to jump on food. Just was wondering if you feed it extra than the regular food you put in.

Can anyone tell me how to feed sand sifting starfish? Seems like I read somewhere that you put some type of food under it but can't find it again. Also need to know what you feed zoas, or do you feed them anything at all? Thanks for any answers.

Can someone tell me how and how often do I feed my sand sifting and green brittle starfish? I just got them and the lfs said not to bother feeding them,,,
