Hi, I have 30 lbs of live rock that I have to sell ASAP. We are moving on Wednesday and a guy was supposed to take it on Sunday and never showed. Please make an offer. I am just outside of Tampa, FL. Obviously you must be able to come and pick it up. It is still in the tank in water. LOTS of...

Do you have one of those algea scraper sponge on a stick type things? I have glass so I don't know if that would be too abrasive for your tank?

Thanks! I just thought it seemed too easy It looks so much more complicated than it really is. This thing is AWESOME!

Wow

Do you mean the outside or the inside of the glass? On the outside I go to a very far spot in the house and spray Windex on a rag and then come into the room with my tank and wipe down the glass. Never spray anything in the same room as your tank. On the inside I use a Mag float/scraper thing...

I just got my new refractometer. The model number is RHS-10ATC if that helps. My question is whether or not I am understanding the calibration correctly. I took some distilled water and some water from my tank in separate containers. I let them reach room temperature so that they were the...

Thanks to all that responded to me on my other thread. I believe what I was battling was marine velvet. It struck fast and hard. :mad: It took my royal gramma and this morning my clown. I have one clown left that I put in my Qt tank with my fingers crossed. He is having a very hard time...

He means base rock. It is much cheaper but it is not "live". If you put live rock with it the live rock will seed the base rock in time and the base rock will also become "live". Live rock is MUCH better but you can get less live and compensate some with base rock because the cost is high for...

Well, I happened to be in a very large discount retail chain today and I was looking for some PVC pipe to put in my Qt tank. Well, of course they did not have anything but I couldn't go to Home Depot so I decided to improvise. :thinking: I bought this cool sand and water type plastic toy. It...

Thanks! I did read the thread about hypo by Beth. That is why I ordered the refractometer ASAP. I am nervous because I am setting up my Qt tonight. It is not already up and running. I am putting the 10 gall from my main tank in it and I am putting 2 cups of my live sand. I also have a sponge and...

My refractometer shipped today Priority mail. Do you think they can make it until it arrives? I can't hypo without it,.....

The sponge filter and the bio bag have been in the main tank about 2 days now. The live sand (2 cups) and water (10gal) will come from my main tank that is established. I am setting up a 10 gall Qt tank. So you think I could set this up and get my fish into it tomorrow?

Well I looked at the pic of the brooklynella but my fish are either not that far along or it is not that...The clowns seem to be ok appearance wise. I thought my one clown had some white spots on him but now I don't see any. I am currently treating the tank with Kick Ich so I don't know if that...

Sorry I guess I should have mentioned that I do use a KH test. My levels are always between 11 and 13....

I am a newbie so please go easy on me... My LFS told me that I did not need to test my PH because I just had a FOWLR. I am learning this is not the case. I went out and bought a PH test kit and it shows my PH is 8.0. :thinking: I am setting up my QT tank today so I can perform hyposalinity on...

I was planning on letting the main tank sit empty of fish with just my inverts for at least 6 weeks to make SURE everything it gone....Thanks for all of the help!

Now one of my clowns is acting really "spasy" and is mouth breathing. :help: He is not looking good at all!! I don't have my qt tank set up yet Is there anything I can do for him or do I have to watch him die? :scared:

I was just reading the post that Beth had left about setting up the QT tank. She said I could add a cup or two to the bottom to help with the reflections and to help kick start the bacteria...

I am getting ready to set up a Qt tank to treat the ich that is in my tank. I am planning on taking out 10 gallons from my main 55 gal to fill up the Qt. I am also adding 2 cups of live sand and a sponge and bio bag that have been hanging in my main filter gathering the good bacteria. I know...
