Thank you for the replies. If I go with a quarantine tank, what should I feed the snails, urchin and brittle star?

Is it safe to add some invertabrates from the ocean to my tank? They are from mexico, a regular small sea urchin, 2-3 turbo snails, 2-3 scarlet hermits and a small brittle star. This is assuming they survive acclimation. My tank is a mature reef. I quess my real question is can these inverts...

Hope this works. It's on it's way.

BBB, It still doesn't work, I even tried taking the spaces out and it still won't work.

Your email address rejects me sending you anything ?

BBB, Yes I would be happy to email you the aricle. Lee

Sorry, You are right, it doesn't exist any more. I've got it, but don't know how to get it to you.

I was told that calibrating your refractometer to zero could result in errors because you aren't testing for zero, you are testing for salinity. I found this article and method of calibrating a refractomer much more accurate. *Link Removed*

I have a pair of perc's that have hosted a large torch for almost a year now. There have been no negative effects and I even think the torch would miss the perc's.

Could the first one be a type of Hynophora ?

Neomeris sp.,or caterpillar / spindle weed macroalgae. I've been told it is excellent for LR diversity. I've had mine for several months. I like it and it has not spread to the point of being a problem. Lee

I had the same problem. Someone gave me this site, after reading it, I think I was able to accurately calibrate mine using the method in this web site. http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-06/rhf/index/php I hope this helps

I would like to thank Allyssia for some helpful information. As Mr. or Ms Speg, I hope you had fun. I have a saying, " what goes around, comes around. Later

Thanks, that makes more sense. I'll try it.

Well, I guess that takes care of that. Thanks. I've never seen clams in a super market in water.

The clams I've seen are not in water but next to fresh shrimp etc. The sign says "live". (?)

The sign in the store says "live". Maybe frozen was the wrong term. It appears they are very cold.

Exactly how do you acclimate Cherry Stone Clams from the local Safeway Market. The only ones I've seen appear frozen. Thanks in advance.

I have a 30 gal. reef tank. My pair of perc's came up with Ick. I was just sick as I also had lots of LPS and SPS and some inverts. After considerable research I tried NO Sick Fish meds. I was very susceptible. But after 7 days all signs of Ick were gone, none of the coeals or inverts knew the...

I too have been battling Cyano for months. I have tried everything suggested to me. I have a 30 gal reef with 25 lbs of lr, several lps, a pair of perc's and a clown cobie, a good clean up crew, good lights, water tests are great. I have used chemi-clean several times, cut down on feedings etc...
