    Extra Shells for Hermits

    I recently picked up some extra shells for my hermits from SWF. When they got here, the odor was asphyxiating. I had read that soaking them in a closed container of sea water would do the trick. No luck. I then read where boiling them would cleanse them. Is this the proper thing to do? Any...

    Members in the DC area

    I'm in Chantilly. Marine Scene in Herndon does have a very good selection. They also have daily specials and their Fiji live rock is usually less than $4/lb. Some of their items are comparable to SWF. As for other places, there is a place in Congressional Plaza in Rockville, but they are very...

    HAS ANY 1 ORDERED ONLINE?

    I just bought my clean up crew from SWF.com and they arrived in great shape, albeit 11 days after I ordered. But, I was pleasantly surprised on the health of the arrived species and the packaging was great. Every one of the inverts was alive when I unpacked them and are all doing quite well in...

    Feather Dusters

    When purchasing feather dusters, do you need to actually place them in a crevice in your LR or push them down in the sand? or will they propogate themselves and find an appropriate place to live? Thanks. Diz

    Newbie needs some advice

    I have a 29 gal. tank with a DSB and 32 lbs of LR. All of the measured parameters are within spec. Tank has been running for almost a month. Should I get a breed of clownfish (don't want a damsel) to help cycle the tank first? or get the cleanup crew first? Also, if you get the clownfish...

    Did anyone else order over the holidays?

    I sent saltwaterfish.com my order on Fri. 1/4 and have not received an email yet saying they have filled my order. It was only for a cleanup crew and some additional inverts. Has anyone else had a problem of not getting their order that has already been placed? I know they recently added the...

    what film speed gets the best pics?

    Incrasing the speed of your film to 1000 will help, but getting a digital will help you post your pictures. That will be beneficial for a variety of reasons, the best of which is showing off :D

    Does anyone know how to actually contact a person via phone at Saltwaterfish.com? There isn't a phone number on this website and the number I got from information in Miami is a recording. Also, after submitting an order, when should you expect fulfillment of your order? Thanks. Diz
