If your tank is 4 weeks old then you should not be adding corals. Its just too young and your setting yourself up for failure. Cycle is the process where your rocks and sand "ferment" as I like to call it. Basically all the stuff (sponges, small corals, worms...) thats on the rocks that died...

I have some liverock that I need to get rid of. I have had it for 3 years and now the wife is wants tank #2 gone. Its about 100 pounds and I am in fort lauderdale. Anyone interested get me at ninjagator2000 at yahoo dot com

Or ask here BEFORE you buy it.

If its raw rock then you WILL have a cycle. If its from an established tank you MAY have a cycle. Depends on die off. Why skip the cycle? Thats a great time for a fish tank. You will see a lot of creatures that just wont survive in your tank. I spent a lot of time watching the rock during...

I went from a 6 to a 12 to a 55 to 2 55's and now I have a 90 and a 56. the 56 is about to go bye-bye (I need the space) but I am aslo thinking about going from a 90 or a 180. All it takes is money and time. Bigger tank = more money for water, salt, pumps, power heads...' yea dont forget fish...

Dont think about what it costs. That will drive you crazy. Just enjoy the tank.

I am thinking about getting a algae blenny. How much do they eat and are they messy for the tank.

Look at the fish supply web sites until you find the light you are talking about. Then figure 30-50% of the retail price and adjust for old bulbs.

Automate everything. Use a web enabled controler. Get a web cam. Pray to what ever god you beleive in that nothing goes wrong. And they say you cant take a vacation when you have a dog.

no one has any thoughts?

Its time for me to upgrade from the coralife digital timer I have had for 3 years and I am thinking of getting a Reefkeeper Lite. I have been looking at the 2 packages they offer. Level 1: ($99.99) 1 x Head unit 1 x PC4 (4 outlets) 1 x temperature probe OK level 1 is straight forward. There is...

Whats the difference between the Reefkeeper Lite and the Elite or is there something else that I should looks at? Are there features on the Elite that I just have to have that the Lite does not have? I am hoping for a review from someone who already made this decision between the two and their...

I had one for about 2 years. He definatly ate my shrimp and crabs. But my hermit and snails were fine. He was a fish that had a lot of personality. A really cool one. But what a messy fish. When he would poop it would look like big turds breaking up in the water. It got everywhere. But if...

So they took the best forum for selling old equipment and ruined it. Got it. Is this the main reason that SWF is dying as a forum? I have a 12 gallon nano cube dx that I want to sell cheap so someone local. I guess that I will find another avenue.

Are we allowed to sell here any more? I noticed that the sales and trading threads have been removed.

Wait hot sauce? apple juice? poison? Why would you want to introduce something into your tank thats weird. Nudibranch? fish? why get an animal that you dont want. These are easier to eradicate than you think. Calk kills them. Calcium is good for the tank. Other than an alk spike there...

Not a chance.

Increase flow in the area affected. Reduce lights Use macro algae. Use Chemi pure aka carbon.

Ya more rock is good. It will keep a healthier tank.

Its time to go get a Refractometer. Any of the LFS sell one for $40 or do I need to order one oneline? Any have a used one for cheap? In S Florida that is.
