ok, well it may not be "crushed coral". when i began my reef tank, i told the LFS that i wanted live sand. what he gave me did not look like sand. at least not that fine in texture. the sand i have is a bit more coarse than that of fine sand. i'd have to say 2 -3x's bigger than playground...

I currently have live crushed coral as my sand bed. It's approx. 60 lbs. I want to add about 40 more lbs of the fine grain live sand. Fortuante enough, my LFS owner has given me the use of one of his tanks. He will allow me to keep my fish and inverts. The question is, when I do add the...

my cleaner shrimp does the same thing. A very "nosey" guy, he is. :) When I have to stick my hand in the tank, he's all over me, too! Gotta luv him fer that! HAPPY REEFING!!

NO BIG DEAL! I have 2 neon gobbies, and they are a "hoot" to watch. They are definitely a pair. The white spots that I saw must have been something he was eating that clinged on to him. They are very active with my other fish. They jump on the other fishes' back and nibble off any parasite...

LOL, was it really that dumb of a question? i looked at Petsmart yesterday, didn't see any. i'll check elsewhere... sorry for my idiocy!

lights came on this morning and as usual checking things out. My girlfriend noticed 2 white specs on the right side of one of my neon gobbies. The gobbie is a juvenile and about an inch long. The white specks almost resemble scales pulled back. Is this ich? Please tell me it isn't, I'm not...

How do I test Iodine? I don't want to overfeed my tank. Listed are the supplements I am currently using. In parenthesis are the dosages for each. Searchem - Reef Plus concentrated vitamin @ amino acid supplement (twice a week) Kent - concentrated liquid calcium (daily) Kent - concentrated...

Is it possible to house 2 blue powder tangs in the same tank? My tank and inhabitants is on my sign. I want a tang, and yellows are just too damn common.

With ya all the way steamboat, you are right about quick answers on this board, i am quite impressed with the continual feedback. Yeah, those sharks got-it-goin-on! IMO, one is quicker to learn when they take their own personal time to do research and such. Planning ahead does help too. Like...

in my experiences, it is possible that you have small feather dusters on your rock. the anenome type thing you are talking about, is it clearish brown with maybe some whiteish/clear rings on them? if so, it could well be glass anenomes. now those suckers, if you like'm good, cause they gonna...

I see alot of that on the message board. Why this and why is that happening. I only started this hobby about 8 months ago. I had alot of questions about alot of things also, but I grabbed alot of literature and started reading. My very first book was "The Conscientious Aquarist" by Robert...

i have a sand-sifting star and yes, sometimes he gets nutz and climbs the tank wall. He gets to the top (water line) and falls off. He falls on his back and then manuvers himself right-side up again. So I know he's healthy. The reason why they crawl up the wall? Maybe he was going for a...

I am going to put some meat on the grill, drink cold beer!! I may even go downtown and admire the fireworks, too. Happy Independence Day!!

I have snails with black shells, but they have a little whitish top. They are called Marguarita snails ...and boy do they love the glass :) Doubt if it helps, but i wanted my two cents in :D

I have the Prizm skimmer and it takes some "tweeking". I allow my bubble line to reach the o-ring area. The reason is, so I will have dry foam instead of wet. If it's wet the collection cup will fill in an hour or so. My valve is barely cracked open. Also, if it's hanging off the back of...
