I thought it would be economical to buy the 200 gallon container since I use that much salt about every 3 months, but now I am having a hard time keeping my unused salt from hardening. Of course I have tried to keep it in a cool dry place with the bag closed and lid on but it isn't working in...

What in the world is the best way to catch micro serpent stars? My friend would like a few, along with the LFS. I have alot of them, the population exploded, I think we determined in the past it was because while I was away I had increasing nitrates from my husband way overfeeding. They...

Originally Posted by ophiura Hermits, various crabs, and certain fish would probably eat them...but I wouldn't want to eliminate them personally. You could sell them :) Also consider that they may bloom in relation to available nutrients. If you have a lot of them, you may need to address the...

Originally posted by Tizzo https://www.saltwaterfish.com/site_11...f0806ca11d4244 But you can get one at the Home Depot for about $150. It removes all of the "poisons" (to corals) included (in most cities)in tap water. Lead, copper, chlorine, and about 100 others that I can't think of right...
