I have noticed them in my tank, they have like a hole in the center of them and look like the end of a qtip? I have no idea what they are. maybe someone will answer. I do have one that is quite large under my frogspawn.

you can use the bleaching method. just make sure your rinse and everything is dry. bleach does evaporate. Before I moved to a sump set up. i used a small walmart pool filter, i bought two filters for it.each saturday I bleached the filter, and put the dry one in, while the other sat til next...

my brotherinlaw has a sally light foot about the same size. That crab is too busy eating algae to look at fish. He also has a tiny hippo, but no problems yet. the crab is the oldest in the tank. I think your fish will be ok.:D

I would also suggest, low flow for a couple of days, so it can acclimate. low flow they pulse better.;)

We have a 55 gallon tank at the office. We add it every monday right in the water. at home (150 gallons) I put it in the outgoing side of my sump. both have lr, fish & corals. hope this helps.:p

I don't use 20,000k, too blue to my taste. why do you ask?

i have a long horn cowfish in my tank. your decription sounds like mine. http://ffexpress.com/setfish.htm has a picture of one. mine is a bit yellower then this photo. they are great fish, but need care when putting in tank. I put mine in with lights off and at night. they tend to stay toward...

i agree that you need to do water changes and get the water checked. I also think a skimmer would help. if you have media in your filter, you may want to rinse that with your dirty salt water during a water change, filters are nitrate & ammonia growers. Keep us informed in your progress. ;)

i have all sorts of tangs in my tank, Yes, they are territorial, but after awhile they are all getting along. remember that tangs get big, and like to swim. the more room the merrier. :)

just adding on to the sharks answer, The mysis shrimp is larger, which is more filling for your bigger fish. I get it frozen at my LFS. I found that new additions to the tank took to the mysis quicker than regular brine shrimp. :)

water change, water change is what keeps the nitrates, etc. down. you can try adding nitrate sponge which is an aggregate that you put in a sack in your filter. it lasts 3-6 months and works pretty well. I use it for that just in case increase in nitrates.

I defintely agree with broomer5, talk to the manager. if your a p.a.l.s. member already and have proof of membership, that may do the trick too. good luck in your quest. it sounds like a great deal.

I'm definitely insterested in this too. our lowes has the bulbs too, but they don't have the fixture to put the bulb into. What is the fixture that everyone is using to put their bulbs in? and where is the best price? thanks. :D

i have a seaclone150, love it, works great. :)

in regards to bubbles, i run a seaclone skimmer and I had a bunch of bubbles. I found it was because i was putting in stress coat. I quit using that, ran the skimmer on low for a few weeks so I wasn't dumping the cup constantly and the bubbles eventually dsappeared. Runs like a champ now. ;)

what size are the skimmers? i'm thinking you don't have that much to skim yet. maybe try running just 1 and see if anything appears in the cup in a day or so. :)

I believe my test kit suggests no more than 3. mine usually runs at 1. most of our saltwater buddies run from 1-2, 3 being the max. :)

well it looks like there are alot LESS fillers in HTH calcium plus than in seachems calcium HTH 93% ingredients 7% filler seachem 36.46% ingredients 63.54% filler Hmmmmmmm, what are U putting in your tanks? thanks for the info falcon, I too just got a fax from Arch chemicals on HTH calcium plus...

the savings ($) for our tank, because of the low calcium in the water we use would save us approx $26 per month. we have to use a lot at water change to get the new water at 450, then the 1 tbsp per week for what the corals are absorbing. ;)

jlem, I was using a generic label from the LFS. The bottle cost me $20 for 16oz (1lb). The HTH Calcium Plus which contains Calcium Chloride and trace elements of Potassium, Strontium, water, Sodium is a 4.5 lb bottle at Lowes for $6.97. We are dosing 1TBSP per week to keep our calcium up. Our...
