    cleaning LR

    Thanks, but actually I was talking about when I do my routine water changes. When I am syphoning out my water can I syphon off the junk on my LR (the brown dirt looking stuff). I don't want to take out anything that should be there, but I don't want to leave anything that could cause ammonia...

    cleaning LR

    When I am doing my water changes and sucking out my water I run it over my LR and get allot of junk off the rocks. Should I be doing this or is it gonna create some imbalance in my tank. I'm not sucking out the good junk off or out of the rock am I? Thanks, Jeff

    QT to main tank

    This may be a dumb question but when I take my clown out of my QT (in one week) do I need to drip acclimate him to my main tank like I did for my QT? and how long should I wait before I put another fish in the QT and do I need to do anything to it before hand. Thanks, Jeff

    QT set-up question

    I am setting up a 10g QT tank. I am in the process of painting the bottom and back black. I will use a cup or so of sand and some H2O from my 26g reef for starters and a few small chunks of LR (will be taken out before fish) My question is I will be using a Penguin Mini bio-wheel power filter...

    shrimp or not

    lr was cured. I do have a skilter (not in use) so I should put that on for a little while? I am also running a CPR refugium with ls and lr but no macro yet, when should I add that and where should I get some from? Thanks, Jeff

    shrimp or not

    lr came from online source. I do have some white spots that I kinda brushed off with my hand when I rearanged the rock (already). I don't plan on putting any fish in till mid Aug. anyway, so I am in no rush. But I will put a shrimp in to help things out. Thanks, Jeff
