sweet! thanks for the input guys. I was reading about a Kak drip using one of those kent Aquadose containers, seems like a pretty cheap option. That sounds like a nice set up Sherm, I unfortunately dont have too much room for a big bucket like that. I was thinking I'll start by adding weekly...

DUH...just caught myself....actually temp changes would impact a smaller tank more quickly...in any case, its not really and issue here in Miami A/C is kicking and keeps my tank cool all the time

Thank you Merredeth, very thorough . My tank isnt very big (30gal) so really the temp issue on the top offs is negligable. I'm confused about Kalkwasser, i've never used it and dont know where to begin, I have to do more research on it. What type of test kit do I need for calcium? suggestions...

:thinking: I had a question regarding weekly aditives. I just started keeping some corals (mushrooms/zoo's/GSP's) I have been adding Kent Trace Elements (purlple stuff) once a week. Is this enough or should I add Calcium/Strontonim/supplements as well. Also, when you do top offs (I have to do...

hes pretty big, body is about the size of a quarter, arms are 4" long...he just looks so fast and motile, I just know he could take out whatever he wanted...I want to put in a cleaner shrimp but I dont feel like buying my star a twenty dollar lunch if you know what I mean...Much as it pains me...

Thanks for the info guys, its possible that he's just cleaning up. He looks too cool for me to take him back to the FS...i'd like to keep him. I feed him the frozen brine/spirulina cubes and he loves them. I'll check my levels and put in a fish and keep an eye on him. The sand sifter disapeared...

its brown and black...

Will brittle stars eat peppermint shrimp, sallys & sand sifter stars?? I have a 10gal tank, started about 2mo. ago. I put in a sand sifter star, brittle star, 2 pep shrimp, 2 sallys...no fish....3 weeks later only my brittle star is left...and is suspiciously healthy looking. All others have...

nice grapefruit helemet on that cat! you make that yourself?! Thanks for the tip, lets say I put it in, will it totally fry my LR, like should I just get some cheapy stuff for seeding the tank and then get the nicer rock...Im thinking about putting in about 10lbs eventually...how much would you...

I had a bicolor and a bad aptasia problem, so I put in 4 peppermint shrimp to control it...long story short the aptasia stayed and my bicolor had a VERY EXPENSIVE meal of pepp. shrimp... In my experience the bicolor is too aggresive to have with shrimp, they will harrass them to death and then...

Question for the fish heads out there... I have a 10gal FOWLR, been set up about 7 weeks, I have 8lbs LR and I put in a blue damsel and two pepp.shrimp about three weeks ago. I want to add a 2nd fish, want to get a firefish, will the damsel harrass it to death? thanks for the input ;)
