oh how many lbs would you recommend for a 30gallon tank??

i think thats too much for a 10gallon. one should be fairly enough

Originally Posted by gmusick I made the conversion about a month ago on a 35 gallon tank. I did it differently than Blemmy, but I didn't lose a single fish, invert or coral either. Since your tank, like mine, is small, it is easy to do all at one time. My only concern with Blemmy's solution...

Originally Posted by Blemmy_Guy What i did was take out all my CC one day and put in the Live sand the next. Theres all different ways to do it, like slowly add the sand over a 1 to 2 week period and things like that. But i didnt loose a single thing when i did mine and my CC was about 6 months...

I have a 30 gallon tank with crushed coral (CC). I want to remove the CC, but I don't want to do any harm to my tank. Would it be better if I just put live sand (LS) on top of the CC. If so, can I do this with my fish still in the tank??

Originally Posted by alexcarden It should be ok. It takes a day or so to let them fully acclimate. Try to spot feed it with a little brine. Also, check you water. make sure all the levels are good. I got it on Thurs. Water parameters are: pH: 8.2 Amm: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 10

Originally Posted by Sula it's on the gravel? like on the bottom? usually they prefer to plant themselves into a crevice in your rocks. Well I just took it out of the container and placed it on the live rock but it wouldnt plant itself so it just fell on the crushed coral and I left it there. I...

Okay, I got a rose bubble tip anemone yesterday. It looks so deflated like my maroon clownfish is beating the heck out of it. Its deflated and the clownfish still is nestling in it. Is it because its in a new tank? Hungry? Or is this just natural? I don't want to lose this anemone. Help! I will...
