    Do you guys ever forget the enjoyment

    Hiya, I'm not completely new to keeping an aquarium, but this is my first attempt with SW. I can't WAIT to get home from work and plop myself down infront of my tank and see what new things have happened in the last 10 hours. My husband laughs at me since I don't even change into my comfy...

    How long can you store RO water

    Hiya, Thanks lion, that's kinda what I thought, just needed a confirmation. I do have a lid on the bucket. I've got curious cats and they think anything that holds water is a drinking bowl. Meadbhb

    How to tell the difference between turbo's and Nassarius snails

    Hiya, Barry, some of my snails have two tenticals...hmmm, no telling what I got from my LFS's then. At least they're taking care of the algea! Did a night check last night....saw my peppermint shrimp, so I know he's still alive! Meadhbh

    How to tell the difference between turbo's and Nassarius snails

    Hiya, I bought them at one of my local LFS. I trusted them to point me in the right direction. My bad....should have researched them more. I'm hoping the peppermint shrimp will take care of my anenomes like the snails are taking care of the algea. I figure he's still in there, I just can't...

    How to tell the difference between turbo's and Nassarius snails

    Hiya, All my snails have points on them and are on the glass. I haven't seen any zombie type action from them. They're all over my coral and glass. Also, they're all the same size :nope: I looked at the pictures on this site under the reef packages. If the nass's are supposed to have...

    Hiya, I'm a newbie too, but was able to cycle my tank in less then two weeks. Granted....I'm still on pins and needles so I can't guarantee it. I put 25 lbs of live rock in a 37 gallon tank. This LR was in my LFS for at least two months, so it was completely cured and had lots of little things...

    Algae all over my glass

    Hiya, The one I had for my FW was the same way, but the part in the tank would sink if they got seperated. I'll have to look for this one that floats when seperated. Meadbhb
