    Yikes...Is this Brown Algea

    It is pretty amazing how fast the diatom went away after the cycle was complete. We added the cleaner crew and they imediately went to work. Don't worry--just wait! BTW nassarius snails are good diatom eaters. They are also fun to watch bury themselves in the sand.

    My new Lavendar Shrooms

    Yeah, Out of all the snails and hermit crabs, we found 1 empty shell. We had a fatality of mortal combat and one snail didn't live more than a couple of days, but all in all, GOOD purchase. We might get 1 fish with our order of shrooms. That is the only drawback to this site. There is a...

    What a little rock & roll will do

    My kids sorta freak when my wife and I know the lyrics to the songs they just found out were cool. Sometimes we lose them in all the big hair. . . . I saw AC/DC in concert once. You gotta love a band that brings their own CANNONS!! (For those about to rock)

    My new Lavendar Shrooms

    I am very satisfied with SWF.com. I ordered the cleaner crew + 10 extra cerith snails. THey arrived in great shape and took right to work after acclimating them to the water in my tank. (I know they are watching but i don't mind looking like a boot licker.) BUT I would recomend this site to...

    Live Rock

    Hi David! WELCOME! DO you have any "live" rock or "live" sand in with it? I have 70 pounds of base rock and 30 pounds of live rock. I started my tank up in the begining of April-this year. THe base rock is nearly covered with coraline seeded from the live rock. There are also pods...

    Emerald Crabs

    It depends on how hard they have to look for something to eat. I got 5 with my cleaner crew. I didn't see much of them for several weeks. Now they are out an about, especially at feeding time. I sometimes mix garlic powder with the flake(i forget where I read that) and they ALL go crazy...

    My new Lavendar Shrooms

    I have an Icecap 660 with 440watt capability that I just haven't wired yet. I am running 2-coralife magtinic and 2 - 10k 40watt normal outputs. I will use the same type of bulbs only in a 110watt VHO when I upgrade. I have plans and material for a simple canopy. It all takes time. . . ...

    Trying to get air through my MJ 1200 PH

    I got a freebie skimmer without a pump. When I tried to use a powerhead (maxi jet 1200), the venturi didn't work right. There was water coming out of it. When I removed it from the skimmer, the venturi sucked air and blew it out the power head mixed with the water like it is supposed to do...

    Quick question for electicians

    Check behind the panel before removing the "knockouts". THere should be a space in the hotrail to insert another breaker. Sometimes the covers are also used on bigger boxes and not all the spaces are spaces-like the top of your panel. It says do not remove across the knockouts. Having all...

    375 gal. suggestions please

    This sounds like a job for Squid. He'll start by asking your goal flow. In a reef, 20 to 30 times is a good turnover rate. (THat's a whole lot a water movement.) WHat are the dimensions of the main tank? What is the biggest sump/fuge you can fit under there? That size tank will be ultra cool...

    Hitchhiker Identifications

    Thanks for the link VIPER. THe base of mine looks a little darker, but that's him! I've noticed those mucus "nets" in my tank. They sorta look like spider webs. Now I know what they are. (THIS WEBSITE IS GREAT)

    Confused.

    Gonna save your sand, huh? Old habits die hard!! And might I say, your avatar is certainly "kickin". Good luck--keep us posted. BTW there is someone on here that is keeping a cichlid in a SW setup with their other fish! https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/show...ighlight=cruel
