So I don't want this to sound like a dumb question. I have sand that at one point was "live sand". it has been in a sealed container for about a year and a half. Can I add new live sand to it, or should I pitch it? I know that it is know longer alive, but I wondered if added new "live sand"...

So I am going to cure my liverock that i have ordered from SWF.com Yay!!! Since I have to cycle my tank anyways... Can I cure the rock in the tank?? When should I add the shrimp?? Its funny how fast you forget some of this stuff. lol

hmm... I have a crazy one year old, so I just thought if I couldn't get to the door would they leave a living animal in a box on the sun on my porch. I guess that answers my question. I'm gonna start with the live rock first. lol

I had a damsel that killed everything in my tank, I can totally relate!!! Thanks for the feedback. I had multiple tanks and moved and had to break all my tanks down. It has been about 2 years i have not had a tank and it is killing me. I want to put my 400 back up but that was a p.i.a. to...

I have never ordered from swf.com, but was curious about there shipping. I cannot find that information on the website. Could someone tell me if I buy rock, or sand how long does it take to ship?? If you buy fish how long does it take to get the fish?? Is it a UPS delivery?? Do you have to...

anybody ever keep a common tang. i am housing my friends in my tank, and was wondering a little about them. thanks!

thanks for your help. i ended up taking about 1/3 out and put it in a bucket. i left the rest in the tank. moving a tank is a huge pain in the butt. i am writing a book on how not to move your tank. haha now i just need to put my fish in it.

i have a tank that is 2 years established. excellent water conditions. i am rready to move it the water is mostly out. however my substrate, which is indo-live snad is in the tank. can i take the sand out of the tank? i currently have the fish out of the tank. so if my tank recycles it...

i believe i now have it under control. now i just have to find someone strong enough to help me lift my tank. obviously i am not going to be able to lift it on my own.

you are a genious and i am a huge idiot. if i would have done that like 3 hours ago, my tank would already be at my apartment.

yes i have bio balls. i was just going to very carefully move them into a bucket of tank water. i only have an urchin and a shrimp, so if my tank recycles it is not a big deal. i just would like to stay as dry as possible. i will try using my old cap, and see if that will work.

so i have decided after not living at home for 6 months to move my favorite hobby to my apartment. i have most of my tank unesembled except... the wet dry filter. how do i get the water out of my wet dry??? help would be appreciate. then i am going to make a thread that says ... how not to...

I have 75lbs of live rock. I have had my tank for something like 2-3 years. I waited until I had an established tank before I put the mandarin in. He is doing very well. I have had it for about 6 months. I am also lucky enough that he eats some of the frozen food I put in the tank. I would...

Back after a long break. I am rearranging my 46 bow. I want one main big fish in the tank. It does not need to be reef safe. I was wondering if any has kept a potters angel. What do you think about them? I have: urchin 2 choc clowns 2 b. cardinals 1 mandarin dragonette 1 cc star 4 chromis...

I opted to throw it away, since I can't get a picture of it. I just added my tang to my 180, and my angel and her are so fun to watch. the angel is a little smaller then her. She has been taking her back fin and sticking it into the tangs face. No biting or hostility is going on. Just some...
