yes it is. I used it to help cycle my display tank. It good bacteria.

A RESERVE WATER STATION IS THE SAME AS YOUR TRASH CAN. I WANTED TO KNOW SHOULD I HAVE ADDED CYCLE TO IT. I PUT SOMETHING IN IT THAT WILL MAKE TAP WATER SAFE FOR MARINE FISH. I WAS GOING TO ADD CYCLE BUT I WANTED TO GET U GUYS AND GALS ADVICE FIRST.

IF IT'S MONEY YOUR WORRIED ABOUT WHY NOT BUY SOME BASE ROCK THEN SEED IT WITH LR? IT'S MUCH CHEAPER.

THE CC COULD BE YOUR PROBLEM, MAKE SURE YOU STIR THE CC UP WHEN CLEANING BECAUSE IT TRAPS WASTE AND UNEATEN FOODS. WHEN YOU DO WATER CHANGES WHAT TYPE OF WATER YOU USE? IS IT TAP? THAT CAN ALSO BE A PROBLEM. WATCH OUT FOR ANGELS, YOU NEED NEXT TO PERFECT WATER TO RAISE THESE BEAUTIES.

DO YOU HAVE A HOSPITAL TANK? IF NOT I SUGGEST YOU GET ONE. SO WHEN YOU BUY A FISH FOR YOUR LFS HE CAN LIVE IN IT FOR A MONTH OR TWO SO YOU CAN MONITOR HIM. MAKE SURE HE'S FREE OF DISEASE BEFORE YOU ADD HIM TO THE DISPLAY TANK. HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD HIM? IF YOU SAID YOU SAW HIM EAT BEFORE YOU...

THAT ALL DEPEND ON WHAT YOU WANT THE LR FOR. IF IT'S DECORATION YOU NEED JUST ENOUGH TO HAVE THE TANK APPEAL TO YOU. IF IT'S YOUR TRYING TO BOOST YOUR BIOLOGICAL FILTER YOU NEED I THINK IT IS 1 1/2 LBS PER GAL. YOU ALSO STATETED THAT YOU WAS GOING TO USE LS, THAT SHOULD REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF...

OH, CAN ANYONE ANSWER THE SECOND PART OF MY QUESTION. I WANT TO KNOW IF I SHOULD ADD LR AND CYCLE TO MY RESERVE WATER STATION I JUST SET-UP? I'LL USE THIS WATER FOR WATER CHANGES ETC.

THANKS FOR THE INFO. I'LL LOOK INTO THAT. I GUESS I CAN GET THAT FROM MY LFS ALSO.

I have a 125gal tank. I have a 7inch mapp puffer in there he has been with me for 3 months now. I use a Amiracle wet/dry filter,a Rio 3100 pump(I know it's too much but I made a lot of mistakes and it pumps my water through at a great rate, my waters clear again in no time), and a Zoo Med...

I'm also intrested. tamica4238@aol.com Thank you!!!

My water is never stable. It's been up and running for 4 to 5 months. At first the ammonia,nitrate,and ph was good, but the nitrites were just high for 4 months. Now, the nitrites are low(.25) the nitrates are at 140, the ammonia is just above 0,and the ph is stable. I believe that it's...

I'm not really sure what you want to know but the fish sounds like a good idea. On the other hand the cc looks great but is a pain. I would go with a sand base, I just got finish removing 3" of cc from my 125gal to add live sand. The cc gave me high nitrite and nitrate. Don't get me wrong...

Thanks again you two for the reply but you basicaly answered this ? in the last post. I wanted to get a cleaner and a harlequin tusk.

Grouperhead: thanks for that info because that was my next buy. Now that you mention it I never saw an adult ghost in any lfs.

125gal,live rock, and live sand. fish: I already have a mapp puffer(7") fish to be added:Lion,wrasse(harlequin tusk), cleaner wrasse, Angle(blue face or emporer),and a eel of some kind maybe ghost. All I need to do is work out the order in which I will add them and which size. All suggestion and...

Ok I have just been reading up on the wrasse. I'm truly thinking of getting one because of the job it does and their price you just can not say no to this. I know this is a stupid question but here it goes anyway. Do all wrasse do what cleaner's do or is it just the cleaner wrasse(hint's the...

I'm in my first week of hypo. I wanted to know if that would kill off the lr/ls. I thought it might, but I just wanted to be sure. About the dsb I wanted to know the ratio of sand to live sand I needed to start seeding. I guest it doesn't matter. I'm going to put 3.5" of sand and .5 live...

Ok I just swiched the cc/sand substrate to sand only. I'm ready to add my lr then after that I'm going to seed it with ls. Do I need special lighting for lr or ls? If so what? I don't remember how many lbs. of sand I have in the tank but I know I need 4 inches. So if I have two inches of...

should I do this once, twice or every other day?

Is there a rule about the hight of your water level? If there is how many inches from the water level to the hood of the tank? Mine is about a inch is that too high?
