It's ok to use either. I use both but there is a difference. Ocean Nutrition - Seaweed Select crude protein -33.9% crude fat (min)-4.2% crude fiber (max) 2.5% moisture - 6.8% Eden Nori potassium 90mg- 3% sodium 5mg - 0% carbohydrates dietary fiber - 1g - 4% protien 1g - 2% vitamin A - 8% vitamin...

lot of stress if the bad was not pumped with oxygen. yes, there was oxygen pumped in... just a long drive Okay,,, as stated above... my tank is custom, therefore the cabinets are custom. I have to stand on a ladder to feed the fish... so that means I am on a ladder to catch fish as well. I am on...

You can get some plastic mesh to cover those areas. My LFS uses it on all their tanks. they weave it through the overflow slats and also attach it around tubes with plastic ties.

IMO the acclimation of a shrimp for 10 minutes will cause a lot of stress. Shrimp need a slow drip for about 2 to 3 hours at least. They are very suseptable to salinity swings. You stated that the LFS water test said there was a difference in Salinity In any case it sounds like the long trip...

IMO the only Lions for a 55 gallon tank would be the dwarf species. Anything else would get to big to turn around comfortably.

You never know about the corals but since you don't know what chemical it is. I would have thought that the crabs, snails, and corals would go first.

You should still clean the balls periodically. If you let them go to long then the bacteria builds up to much and dies off. You shouldn't take them all out at once and rinse them but just some and do it over time. Maybe get into a scheduled process.

Yes, it is normal. Gobies are very particular of where they like to sleep and don't like sleeping in the same place every single night. They like to rotate their sleeping areas. If you ever watch them right before they turn in at night it's very interesting. My diamond goby builds a thin door of...

Based on the information you gave, and the water parameters looked fine, I would venture to guess that the tubing caused the deaths. If the tubing stated not to use for drinking because it contained chemicals then you have those chemicals in your tank. without knowing what the chemicals are...

You don't want to put bubbles in your tank. It's not good for the fish's gills. I use bubbles to aerate my new mix water and raise the pH.

It looking good Azfishgal I can't wait to see full pics of the tank with fish in it. I still have my first fish from last June. Her name is Maya and she is a Maroon clown. She went through some tough times at the LFS getting harrassed and attacked by the other maroons. I got her to save her...

Most people love the Maxijet line of pumps. I myself have had bad experiences with the Maxijet 900. I have have had 3 of them in the last 9 months and 2 of them just quit working. I was however able to replace them easily under warranty. The 2 I have now are working fine. I do believe though...

I had shaving brush in my tank and removed them because it had sort of like the pine needles that came off and made a mess. IMO unless you use a Denitrifier the nitrates will not lower significantly unless you really have a lot of room in the refugium to add a LOT of plants and such and perform...

Ammonia should be 0. It sounds like that's what killed them without any more information provided.

I've never had a problem with scrtching my 90 acrylic. Granted it will scratch easier than glass but I don't do anything to scratch it. On the other hand with glass I don't feel secure in the knowledge that it can break or the seams can come to leak whereas acrylic I don't have to even think...

I look forward to seeing the pics

Mine goes from darker then in the first picture to lighter then the 3rd picture. His shade changes from in the morning to late in the day and depends on his mood. His trigger pops up during exciting situations like eating. He is such a character. His name is Rico Suave. Did you order yours from...

My Hawaiian Trigger and Kole Tang hang out all day long
