Do I have to "place" my new coral or will they position themselves? This is my first try with these things:notsure: Roni

It hurts my heart to think you lost someone that young. What happened to Aubrie..... are you ok? RONI

My Rio 600 on my CPR Bak Pak died 2 nights ago and I was wondering what you guys recommend for a replacement? Do I go with the same thing or something that may work better? Roni

I just did THE BIG SWITCH from CC to sand. I can now only see the outline of my rocks in the "milky" water..... When is it safe to add the fish back? I just don't want to keep them "cooped up" too long..... Roni

I have been curing my dry sand for a week now and was wondering how much longer do I need to do this?:thinking: Also, how do I go about getting it from the curing tub to the tank? Do I siphon off the water on top of the sand and then mve the sand or what :help: ? ANY advice will be greatly...

I have been trying to find the right sand for my tank and was wondering if anyone has heard of Swift Creek Sand? That is the brand of dry sand that my LFS sells and I was trying to avoid the high cost of live sand and still not make a mistake with my tank....... Thanks, Roni:help:

Well, when I went to the LFS store today to buy my new sand i took some water for them to test. They said that it tested great. As I had recently used my last test strip (it too was great) I bought a new bottle of test strips. About 30 min ago.... I tested the water and found everything perfect...

Well, I have finally made a decision about my tank and acted upon it...... I did a 10% water change today, saved the water to cure my sand in (I will be picking it up from LFS tomorrrow), and did a general "clean-up"..... I hope to cure the sand for about a week and then do the BIG SWITCH! I am...

I have heard that you are allowed 1" of fish per one gallon of water...... Is this really true or not? Inverts and LR don't count against you do they (they count for you right?).... Thanks, Roni

Trying to switch from CC to sand..... I bought a 50lb bag of premium play sand from Lowe's tonight..... Is this what you guys are talking about? I hope I can use this to do the switch as there was no "Southdown Sand" and this was only $2.09 for the whole bag! Can I just follow instructions from...

I am guessing I need new lights for my 55. I have a Customsealife 48" setup. It has the 50/50 lights in it...... I am not sure if that makes it 65 watts x2 or 65 watts x 4. Do you count each light bulb or just the number of connectors? Anyway... I think I need new lights and wanted to see what...

I am trying to add some "critters" to my tank and am baffled by the "SNAIL"..... Which ones do I need? Turbo, Mexican Turbo, or Cerith? I will be placing an order on Monday from SWF.com (yeah!) and need to know which ones to order....... Thanks in advance! Roni
