but excess humidity can lead to more mold and spores in the air (causes illness), make sure the room has decent ventilation

heh..now i can help you kind of. I've had my tank in my room from its inception and haven't had any respiratory problems. Humidity is actually alright for you, it helps me recover quickly actually. Perhaps your getting sick.

I forgot to mention...the jetties protrude out into the water for maybe 20-40 yards

The southern coast of long island (the ocean side) has an erosion problem being that our ocean current runs from montauk point (the east) towards new jersey (west). Its so bad that most of the sand in montauk has created parts of fire island which is further west from montauk. Anyhow, these...

yeah i figure low numbers..i don't want them to destroy all the algae...though i'd like the detritus to be clean up a little more Cheers

Crap, I mean to write Justin...not Justing HA!

Cheers Justing Trust me...LFS ppl aren't always right. Perhaps its my lack of knowledge because i have a pretty good biology background but not marine bio, but i figure if something lives in water and you buy it...it should come in water. Now, I went to my LFS yesterday and bought some snails...

umm.. I don't have a common anemone. Instead I have a Hatian Pink Tip Anemone. In my experience, as long as the anemone is attached, whether it is withdrawn, its a good thing. My anemone has been withdrawn completely before and its still doing fine. However, i had 2 anemones at one time... the...

what is ro or ro/di? How bout the waters off of jettis? They are still pretty deep being that boats go through the inlet. In addition, they have lots of wave action. I don't have a boat to go a few miles out in the ocean, and trust me, i'd rather get that water than beach water.

what do you suppose the recommended "dosage" of nass and cerith snails for a 10 gallon tank?

i'll get beach water perhaps for the next time.....my friend is a naturalist and went to school for marine bio and he suggested it to me...i've done bay water twice and have not encountered any problems....

I've got red algae growing..its kind of like a rusty color. My tank is maybe 3 weeks old. I started out using tap water and adding salt, but being that i'm on Long Island, bays and oceans are accessible so i've started getting bay water for my tank so i can get benefiical microfauna for the...

I wanted to order 2 Mexican Turbo Snails, 5 Nassarius Snails 2 cleaner wrasses (for the fish :) ) But i fear over stocking my 10 gallon

I have sand as a substrate. That sand, coral stuff that takes forever to rinse the freaking dust off of them. I noticed that CBS are little [hr] ...the site never mentions anything about CBS going after snails..which i suppose would make sense if they get "meaty" food

I have an algae overgrowth starting to get bad in my tank. I want to order a clean up crew. Any suggestions as to what creatures i should order. My creatures include 2 percula, Pink Hatian Tip Anemone, a coral banded shrimp and a sally lightfoot. Bare in mind, i only have a 10 gallon tank I...
