    Feather Dusters???????

    Feather Dusters???????

    water parameters

    We did another water change last night and have water working now to change again tonight. Looks like we may lose most of the colt coral. We should be able to frag some pieces off of it though. It was too large anyway. Thanks for all the help.

    water parameters

    Thanks so much for the answer. I'm assuming the ammonia is from die off of some of the live rock. So far nothing has died. But one of the corals is not looking too well. And neither is the shrimp. We did a water change before restarting the filters and pump. Then did a water change last...

    water parameters

    Well we made it through the storm but not without loss. But overall it went well. We ended up using an inverter and the truck to run the pumps and lights. We took your advise and cleaned the filters before turning on the pumps and doing a water change. Then we tested last night and did...

    Feather Dusters???????

    I paid $7 each for 2 of them and then like $26 for shipping. I know now that I could have gotten them cheaper but I got excited when I saw them and bid. They are purple Hawaiin dusters. I'll call the post office in the morning hoping that they are there and still alive.

    Storm Prep

    Hi Thanks for the reply. I guess no one else is willing to help. We'll just do the best we can. I'm located in a little community outside of Banks. But work in Troy. I posed this same question last storm and got no answers then either.

    Ok guys we need your help. We have the minnow pumps and lots of batteries just in case we lose power. But how long after the power goes out do we need to start the pumps. I think I read somewhere to run them off and on. But how long do we run them and how long in between. We have fish...

    Tank Questions
