    Cleaner shrimp and ick

    I'm going to tend to disagree w/ the last post. Catching your fish and stressing them even more could cause a more severe outbreak of ick. I've had very good luck w/ cleaner shrimp and everyone I've purchased was always more than willing to pick off the ick. So much so I've sworn off owning any...

    tang in 29 gal reef

    Well anything in lr that swims is going to be hard to catch. Ive got a 30 and had just terrible luck w/ blue hippo tangs. They really need lots of room to swim it seems.

    tank already cycled?

    I set up a 58 gallon 23 days ago. I used an already established sand bed , and probably 40 lbs of liverock from my existing 30 gallon. I've had a 3" trigger in there for 20 days now. At day 15 and 23 I ran ammonia and nitrates and got very low ammonia readings on day 15 and no detectable levels...

    sand beds?

    I ask because I had read that anaerobic bacteria could cause buildup of toxic gases below the sand bed that can be released when the sand bed is disturbed. Why would an under sand filter be a bad idea?

You add more water to your system which adds more surface area and helps minimize errors. 2. It can be used to cultivate macroalgaes that soak up excess nutrients which in turns helps...

    algae, algae go away

    I had a terrible green hair algae problem and I thoroughly cleaned out all the algae buildup in my filters. I purchased a yellow tang really because I wanted one and he went to town on it. I've heard foxfaces are good green hair eaters as well. It seems to do a better job than the mower blenny...

    Info on putting my 125 in a wall?

    Osolow: How you build your tank into the wall really depends on how you want it to look. Do you want a sill like a window in front of the glass or do you want the glass to be flush w/ the wall. Are you talking 4 or 5 ft to the bottom of the aquarium or the top? I personally like ones flush w/...
