lol well last night i finally saw my little pom pom for the first time (since i put im in a week ago) he was hiding under the leather coral.

phytoplankton! ill give u some once i get my culture going come by next week.

its alright to temporarily turn ur current off but im not sure if its good to do it on a regular basis.

i woke up and noticed a black looking mark (almost like a bruise) where is fin rests when hes not swimming. does anyone kno if this is bacterial or somebody just bullied him?

so far ive got.... 4 blue chromis 1 scopas tang 1 blue tang 1 maroon clownfish 1 flounder 1 horseshoe crab 1 boxing (pom pom) crab 1 frogspawn coral 1 anchor coral 1 leather coral 1 crocea clam

oh alright then occasionally ill throw some mysis in there. the guy at the fish store said it wont come out alot i guess he was right. ive only had it in my tank for a day now but i havent seen him since i put him in. do they ever just walk out into the open? or alsways hid in the rock caves?

well i just tested my RO/DI water and the Ph was far lower than my tank's. I also tested a fresh batch of saltwater i made for my water change tomorrow and the Ph is about 8.2. Apparently my Salt product buffs the Ph . FYI I use Instant Ocean Reef Crystals by Marine Labs. Its pretty good...

if u have the space then keep a trashcan filled with RO/DI water and let it top of a gallon or two a day. this will keep ur membrane hydrated and it will also give u emergency water at hand. u can let ur RO/DI sit dry but if it is more than a month u dont want ur DI cartridge's resin to dry out...

to tell u the truth metal halides are the only way to go with clams. ive got a crocea under my 48" T-5 Nova Extreme but its starting to die after hanging on for about half a year now. The problem with insufficient light is that the clam will open up as large as it can. I thought that meant it...

?

Just wondering since i bought one yesterday. its the coolest thing ive gotten in a while.

my gosh thats genius! i never would of thought of that. thanks for saving me money instead of getting a flush kit

I've decided it is time to start growing my own phytoplankton and save alot of money by doing so. I am going to use the way Melev used over at Melevsreef.com . But according to him he switched from using Macro Algae Grow to Miracle Grow Liquid Fertilizer. It must work since Phytoplankton are...

basically uve got everything u need. i reccomend getting rid of ur old sand completely and put in some new sand. keep the dead rocks tho and add some live rocks. corraline takes quite a while to grow but once it gets started it multiplies like crazy. if u want to speed the process up i have...

i suppose but the reason u are paying more money for the sand at the fish store is because it is live sand(meaning it has helpful bacteria that will help cycle ur tank in it). if u use the play sand it will take longer. it also helps to add a peice or two of live rock(i especially reccommend LR...

if u choose to go that with a fresh water dip make sure it is very short. about 2 min. make sure not to forget about him in there. my buddy did and his blue hippo tang died.

lol np.... if u want begginer coral then definitaly get mushrooms and zoas. good luck .

not bad but im gonna say that it is because of the lack of cycle.

i believe so. especially if it is the only starfish in your tank.
