I have a serpent star in my 37g and I'm assuming he just isn't getting enough of the food that I put in there twice a day because he just ate another one of my shrimp. He hasn't done this in a month or two, but he did today, luckily it was just my peppermint. So my question is, are there any...

I've had a mexican turbo. They get HUGE. Cerith snails are good, but I was just thinking of adding some spice to the mix with the conch and nudibranch.

I currently have a 37g with about 10 hermit crabs, 4 astrea snails, 3 nerite snails, 5 nassarius , 2 skunk cleaner shrimp, 1 peppermint shrimp, and 1 serpent star. I also have a few corals, about 40 pounds of live rock (need to add more) and 2 skunk clowns, 1 royal gramma, and an eibli angel...

OK, just looked at the prices on here. I could just get the Red Sea Marine lab off of here, it includes pH, alk, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate and I can buy the Red Sea calcium test kit at my lfs. I going to search on the board for any posts on Red Sea test kits to see if it's worth it. Then...

Yeah, there isn't any sort of expiration date on the box and everything in my tank is fine as far as I can see. I read on one post that the water would be cloudy if the calcium was really high and my water is clearer than my freshwater tank so I think it should be fine. I just tested it twice...

I've heard of sally lightfoots harming fish though.

Oh and how do you figure out if an ingredient has expired?

Does Red Sea have pretty promising test kits? Really my only two choices for test kits are the Aquarium Pharmecueticals and Red Sea. I could call the local Petland and see what they have but it'll probably be the same stuff. I'm hoping that it's just a faulty test kit. I did the test twice...

OK, my RO system only does 2g at a time so I might have to wait until tomorrow and just get a few gallons of distilled. I'm going to search on the board for anyone else that has seen this before.

Would adding corals or anything else that needs calcium help to lower it at all?

I don't have an alk test, my pH has always been at 8.2. I thought you couldn't switch salts...? Isn't there anything else I could do to lower the calcium aside from switching, I have a ton of this salt.

OK well here are some of the things he is definitely wanting in the tank: Flame angel, and probably 1-2 other small fish, fire shrimp, a few other shrimp, some snails and hermits, probably a chocolate chip star, an urchin after I've researched them a bit more and make sure it'll work, and 1-2...

I just got a test kit for calcium (aquarium pharm. - no salifert here) and the levels are up around 700 in my 37g!!! I have 2 skunk clowns, a royal gramma, an eibli angel, 2 cleaner shrimp, 1 peppermint, 1 serpent star, 10-15 snails, 10 hermits, some mushrooms, green tree coral, toadstool, and...

Can anyone give me a list of crabs that are safe to put in a tank with fish and other inverts? It's a 29 gallon. They don't have to be compatible with corals, but I don't want to get a crab that is going to kill other inverts or attack any fish. Thanks :)

This one is a 40. It's going to be pretty much a FOWLR. He wants to get a few shrimp and an urchin too, just no corals or anything. He doesn't have a skimmer, just the whisper filter.

My boyfriend was given a 29g equiped with a whisper filter and I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with these filters? I only use millienium filters on my tanks so I don't know if the whisper filters are any good or not.

I'm going on a cruise in June and I have already posted a thread about what cameras are good underwater but I just found a great deal on a Canon A400 w/the underwater housing and was wondering if anyone has this camera and what you think of it. I don't want to get it and then have bad pictures...
