I do not use IO or --. I use a salt mix called Crystal Sea made my Marine Enterprises International. I get it from a friend who sets up and maintains marine aquariums for businesses. It says on the side that it contains no nitrates or phosphates. My nitrate are 0 but my phosphates are around .1...

Is it possible to tell the difference between a male and a female Yellow tail blue damsel? Adam

Hey Dlight what is that media? Also I ordered the skimmer today and if they ship it today it should be here Friday. I might be applying for job at the library but my previous job is not going to look good on the application. Adam

Why not advise either choice? I do not have a clean up crew and someone told me that I should get a prism skimmer. Anything is better than what I have. Currently I have a Lees counter current. Adam

Should I get the skimmer now or should I hold off on that and get a clean up crew. There was one for 54$. I think it was called the the Bonus 20 pack. Adam

I just made 50$ from taking care of my neighbor's pets for the weekend. What I plan to do is upgrade my skimmer to the Red Sea Prizm if my parents will give me $24. The skimmer also comes with a free 10 gallon salt mix. Later in the early weeks of August my father brother and Grandpa are going...

I checked out the packages and the surf and turf package sounds better to me than the other one. Adam

My parent are starting to listen and with a little more urging them I think Christmas and my Birthday are coming early. *Clean up crew. *10000K bulbs and one super atinic. *Skimmer. *Possibly and RO unit but that is pushing my luck. One thing though I keep telling them I will paint the house for...

What ever happend to the dry goods? When I first joined the BB there was a sign that said they would be coming soon. That was back in November. Adam

I had this problem but solved it. When I first started I had three green cromis' and I had not yet purchased a pre filter sponge and one of my cromis' ended up on the drip plate in the wet dry. The second cromis was sucked up into the powerhead before I got a screen put on. And the third one I...

I thought about the prizm but I heard it can be difficult to attach to tanks because of the top. My father said the town does not use chlorine or floride and barely touch it because it is so pure. Our town water does not come from an open resevoir. We do have a Wal*Mart near by but I have never...

I have a Lees counter current skimmer you know in the tank. I was wondering if the Berlin air lift is any better and if I should purchase one instead of a larger more expensive skimmer? Intead of driving up to Providence every two weeks which can be a long haul and a pain, What about getting...

I just found the filter in a catalog. It said its job is to reduce ammonia and nitrates. **If it reduces nitrates then why can it become a nitrate factory? Adam

I know I have a crappy skimmer it is the Lees counter current you know the inside the tank. It was just to get me started. Does anyone know if the Berlin air lift is any better or should I bug my parents for a $150 Skimmer? Adam

I have checked the packages and they are more than I want running around the tank, also they are expensive. If I were to order not a package the shippking is like 30$. I was also informed not to add anything except ro water when I do changes. Adam [ July 19, 2001: Message edited by: Salisbury A D ]

What is a Fluidized Bed filter? Life Gard has one. My lfs is selling one for 59$. Is it a good deal? What do they do? Will it help with some problems like hair algae and film algae? Adam

I know I have a crappy skimmer it is a Lee's counter current you know the inside the tank. It was just something to get me started. I can not afford a large really good skimmer just yet but, How much better is the Berlin Air Lift? I know the tap water is a prob. and I can not afford an ro unit...

Does anyone know where I can find a picture of this caulunea racemosa? Adam

No I use tap water but CAN NOT afford an ro unit. The hair algae is about and inch tall on the branchy rock but only about a 1/4 of an inch on the larger pieces. Adam

I think what I will do is sell the fish back to the lfs once it gets to big and use the money to get a small one. That or if I come across a healthy angel to eat it I will get that instead. Adam
