So is it okay to add an itsy bitsy amount of fresh garlic to our fish food every now an then to keep the immune system up???

It is a yellow-orange worm with long algae looking hairs??? Good or bad????? We just changed from CC to LS so could it be from the LS????

I am looking for frags also we live in Charlotte. Tizzo I will email you.

no we aren't having a problem with drifting but we put the LS on top and then put the cc in little sacks (made from pantyhose) and put that all arund to really feed it with the goodies from the CC. I guess this helps to get bacteria hold the sand down :cheer: good luck, you'll love it. I have...

Wow KDfrosty that was quick! Your like me just had to do it ASAP. We love the difference, so real! Send another pictures once you've got the rock situated and lights and all. I can't answer you question on the LS we did a total of 60 lbs for our 55 gal and it is the same measurements as...

Thanks! we bought the southdown at HD. We didn't rinse the sand, I think that's why we didn't have the storm? I heard bad things about rinsing it. Everything is doing great. We put the rock and water in big rubbermaid things and live stock in smaller containers. There is a great article at...

we did 40 lbs of that southdown and then 20 lbs of Aqua something LS from the LFS on top and do you know we had hardly any clouding!!!!! We emptied the tank to get out the UGF (YUCK) and really clean the tank and then did the sand layers and then a little rock and poured the water back on...

So, the hubby got called into work today so we are going to wait on the switch. We are going to get new lighting today what would you get for a 48x19x13? We want corals and maybe even clams. we need a protein skimmer too. Can you DIY on the skimmer?? I've seen some crazy DIY projects on the...

Our 55 gal is 48x19x13 and we need to get new lights today. What would you get? We want corals and maybe even clams. We also need a protein skimmer so what would you get or it there a way to DIY for the skimmer? Thanks!:cheer:

We just got the 45-50 for $199 from this site. It was 45lbs and that included all the packaging materials. I didn't see that they state that until afterwards. Some sites say you'll get 45-50lbs of LR without packaging being added into that. ANyway, it was still better then our LFS. Half...

thanks for the info reefnut and thanks for the picture arkey. I love the LS and can't wait to do DSB. Just not sure if my hubby will be up for the switch this weekend. I guess my next question is for those brave souls that are doing the maintenance to keep the CC. What do you do? Yes we...

Okay, so my hubby and I are reading all the great info on this site on we see we made a big boboo. We started with CC thanks to the LFS. The tank came with the UGF. I guess I want to list what we have and get your opinion as to if we should switch it over to LS this weekend and if so how do...

Francis your tank sounds like mine a couple weeks ago! When the feather duster, star fish and emerald crab all died in the same week I felt so bad. I took your advice Kim and I haven't added anything the last couple weeks. Well, until this weekend ;):happy: We found a new LFS and bought...
