Thanks for the help, this should certainly help!

What are some tips to get rid of cyanobacteria without using chemicals. I have some in a 10 gal reef and can't seem to get rid of it. Amm - 0 rates - 0 rites - 0 pH - 8.2 spec grav - 1.023 In the tank i have an ocellaris cown, a yellowtail blue damsel, 5 nassarius snails, 7 turbo snails (along...

oops, I didn't mean to put that little head bang guy there on my previous post. I wonder how he got there

I use a very small amount of boiling water as long as they're not close to anything that I don't want to fry. I feel that this is better than using chemicals or lime juice because I don't want to add stuff like that to my tanks and the heat from the water will dissipate, causing little or no...

Leathers are a wonderful first coral because they don't need to be fed and are very easy to keep. Mushrooms are a good starter too. ALthough you can spot feed mushrooms, it is not necessary for their survival. They will just grow and reproduce faster if you do.

I have an RO/DI unit that I bought from Airwaterice.com, specifically the mighty mite . My question is how do I know when it is time to change the pre filter cartridges, the membrane, or the DI cartridge? I do not have a TDS meter, do I need one? Thanks!

Too bad, it's a really pretty crab

That should not be a problem. Just be weary of having your lights on for too long because this will promote algae growth.

you could try to rig up a trap. Find some sort of plastic container with a lid. Cut a hole in it big enough for the mantis to crawl into and put some sort of meaty food in it. Put the lid back on and submurge your trap before the lights go out near where you saw the shrimp. The little...

where does this guy get money for these fish? If he put that money that he spent on fish that he has and will kill, than he could probably actually buy a nice big tank.

I only feel my fish lightly twice a week. Don't feed more than what they can consume in a couple of minutes. And believe me, they won't starve so don't worry. Feeding too much just adds food that won't get eaten but rather decompose as well as additional fish wastes that will simply end up...

Not only that, how long do you leave your lights on? How often do you feed? Do you have any sort of cleaners? Did you test for nitrates or phosphates? all of this stuff can cause algea to grow.

You're probably right. Believe me, I'm not planning on buying one or anything, I just thought that it was interesting. I just thought that I should get more opinions on it before telling any customers that they eat prepared foods.

I work at a pet shop that sells salt water fish and love actually getting paid to do what I love and that it play with fish tanks. Anyhow, I have a couple questions that I am absolutley puzzled by about some stuff at the store I work at. 1) We always get manderin gobies in. I know that they...

Awesome job! I have a 16 gal bow front but I don't like it because the front is hard to clean as you probably well know by now.
