Did you see in the classifieds, someone in Michigan is trying to put together a group order to save in shipping. Doesn't reallly help if you truly have your heart set on a green one.....

Okay I bumped the thread which helped me the most - saltwater 101, the cycle. While you're reading, you 'll come across a link to "Kip's Methods" - read that, it'll tell you everything you need to know. I cured my sand this way and am SOOOO happy with the result.....

Oh yes, one more thing, when you have the sand curing in the saltwater, you need to "feed" it. Some say flake food, I used little pieces of mysis shrimp left over from feeding my clownfish. You could always buy some frozen cubes and just use one for your sand. What this does is introduce...

But a false perc is not a natural symbiont with the BTA, so it's iffy on whether they'll use it as a host..

Why did you ask this exact same question in the New Hobbyist section as well as here??????

The menu to the left of your post has a button that says Live Rock - click on it. The banner above the choices for Live Rock says "Free FedEx 2nd Day Shipping" ......... I think that answers, yes?

Hey Darknes I have crushed coral in my 10g which is a pain - I've been trying to decide whether and how to switch it out to sand - how do you like the half-and-half? What from your perspective is the advantage of the mixture?

Buy Tropical Play Sand at Home Depot ($7 per 50#). Rinse it off, put it in a rubbermaid container with some saltwater and a heater and let it cure for 2 weeks. Then put it in your tank, add some live sand and voila - sand bed complete :)

Originally posted by bigarn I have 400 plus in my 10....No problems. :D WOW I definitely need more flow - Bigarn, what combination are you using to create this tidal wave?

Just a thought, but is it possible that the stirring of the sand released so much gunk into the system that it is causing what appears to be a cycle?:notsure:

Patricia: First, use the search button at the bottom of the page of any forum. Enter Saltwater 101- those threads will give you a really great overview of the basics of setting up a tank. I'm new also, and wish I would have found that information sooner. Also, one of the forum sections on this...

NO NO NO!!:scared:

Hey, quit trying to horn in on my free drinks here!!!

Originally posted by Gilpil My job actually does require some bartending on occasion, and I can make some pretty interesting rank drinks. Most are popular for giving people on their 21st b-day, for fun or a joke. [/B] Oh man, I REALLY must repeat: I NEVER WANT YOU TO MIX ME A DRINK!!!!

Bigarn, I'm assuming you were thinking of this one? Originally posted by Sula Remind me not to have you mix me a drink... . Make it a Bloody Mary - garlic won't go with anything else

So you would just add a drop or two of the garlic-water to the fish food? Sounds pretty easy actually....

Could they be tiny little feather dusters? I got lots of them on my live rock.

Remind me not to have you mix me a drink...

Wow, you really like to live dangerously don't you? Do you walk around with a bullseye painted on your shirt too? The reason I won't put an anemone in my 10g tank is that based upon the dozens of threads I've read in the "clownfish and anemone" forum, an anemone is a very difficult creature to...
