Don't skimp on the live sand. I put about 2-3 inches of it in my tank and it's great. My sleeper goby loves making piles of it on the bottom and it gives it a nice textured look. Not to mention that it is great for your bio-filter. Hint, put your live rock on the glass so your critters don't...

My bet would be that you have copper. If you ever put copper in the tank when it was fish only, and didnt change the substrate, it is most likely that the substrate absorbed the copper and is now leeching out. If you didn't use copper before, if your dealer had your live rock in a tank with...

Just use live sand, It's not that expensive and in the long run you will not regret it. Besides, I think it looks better.

I'm 29 with 2 wonderful kids under 3. I'm just happy when my wife lets me buy stuff. But I can always use the excuse that it is for the kids. Actually I roofed my fish guy's garage for in store credit and I have gotten a ton of stuff through that.

I hate to tell you this but ten fish are too many to put in a thirty gal. tank

it looks like i have caused quite the discussion. I will try to get ahold of this guy to have him explane to me in more detale what this is all about, how it works and where he discovered it. from what I got from what he said it seemed like it didn't have anything to do with the spectrum of...

I went ahead and bought one today and it is really cool. It adds alot of color.

This guy said that when the light is simulating a full moon that the corals all reliese reproductive stuff (for lack of a better term) that get sucked into his sump and stick to his bio balls and that he actually has taken some of it off and grown corals. this is in his 200gal reef tank. Now...

I'm with the other guys, dump the ugf and the substrate. add the live sand and live rock. (you can take all this with a grain of salt because I am a reef junkie) The fish you have will make a great start to a semi-reef or a reef tank. I highly recomend getting a alge blenny and a golden...

They are a type of algae, and I don't think they will hurt anything. As far as i know, the only reasons to get rid of them is if you don't like the way they look or if they start to take over. I will warn you with my experience. I had several of them and they were getting quite big (about the...

Interesting, I still think I might try it because the one at my lfs doesn't look big enough to eat any of my fish.

Does anyone know anything about them? my books only say that they exist, not if they are recommended or not. I really just want to know if they will live or not and if there are any special needs I need to be aware of.

I have decided to do a water change. my lfs doesn't recomend water changes but everyone else does, so I will. I don't have any hard corals yet and my ca is at 420, should I still add kalkwasser?

The guy at my lfs told me today about putting my tank on a lunar cycle by putting in two nightlight bulbs that you turn on and off at night in combination to simulate the lunar cycle. He said that this would make my corals reproduce and would increase the general quality of the tank by...
