I am considering reaquascaping - the problem is while I have a few pretty cool rocks, some of them are not that usable for corals. I bought them early in the hobby when I had a fowlr. So what I'm wondering is has anyone every drilled holes into fuji lr or any other lr ? I thought it would make...

I want to bring my salinity on my tank from 1.029 to about 1.026. I know to do this slowly, but how do I calculate ? I have a 75 gal. If I do a 10% water change do I calculate 1.029 x 9 and say 1.023 x 1 thus gettting 9.261 + 1.023 = 10.284 and divide by 10 getting 1.0284 ? That would be...

I know that coraline algae is supposed to be good for your tank and is of course pretty too. IS all coraline the real light purple color or is some of it darker ? I was in a fish store the other day and he had so much on the back of one of his DTs that it almost looked globbed or painted on. It...

Does anyone know if most frozen foods contain phosphates ? If so, how do you feed your fish ? Right now I put some water from the DT into a small container and drop the frozen food in. Once it is melted I use a turkey baster to feed. This of course puts all of the water bank in the tank too. If...

I do not have a UV sterilizer. I am told they help with parasites and keeping the fish healthier. Does it control anything else like phosphates, nitrates, etc. ? How about algae control or any other plusses. I am willing to spend the money if it is something that may really be beneficial. I...
