    cycling question too much shrimp????

    I have never had any luck with biozyme or any other bacterial additive...Let it cycle for a while longer ..It may take a couple of weeks longer but eventually The ammonia levels will have to drop..Taking out a couple of shrimp will probably help speed up the cycle though..

    Okay, time to learn about *mud*

    Just got off the phone with my local mm mud dealer in Green Bay Wisconsin..He swears by them and says he has been doing something like this for almost 20yrs..But a company finally has gone commercial with the idea..He has their largest system running 2 125's and has excellent luck with the...

    sealing a tank

    i used to work at a fish store and all we ever used was 100% clear silicone..It's the same thing and will save you money..rather than buying the marked up version sold at local fish shops...Just make sure it's 100% silicone..

    Aiptasia Outbreak

    I have had good luck also with copperband's but you have to remmember that they are kind of touchy in transit..THey stress easily but once acclimated they do a great job...Try the shrimp first and if nothing else add a healthy copperband..
