I am getting some cleaner clams and the site says "Great for refugiums." I have caulerpa in my fuge that is anchored down in the sand. Now to my understanding, these clams bury themselves in the sand. So the question is, will these clams destroy my caulerpa "garden" I have by moving around...

I just had a thought cuase I was reading about nitrates being caused by filters and what not... My CPR bak pak 2 has biobale... can this be the cause of these nitrates? Should I replace it, or clean it off? Thanks again

In your opinion are the blue leg hermits really that bad? I have heard that they like to kill other inverts for their shell. What do you think?

if money is an issue, this hobby is not for you

my suction cups were completey useless, i shoved my powerhead in between the rocks and the glass

I would definately get a protein skimmer. How long did you have the tank setup before they gave you the damsels? I think the reason you had damsels dying was because either your tank wasnt ready for fish yet, or your other damsels where harassing them. When I started my 45g, I started with only...

heh i know =) you can find anything on that site =) I am just trying to do some research right now to better understand the ro/di systems as i am very unfamiliar with them.

I am looking into getting a system to make my own, and yes i checked the yellow pages... I was searching for atleast an hour.

I am looking for someone who lives in the Sacrmaneto, CA area to answer this question. So I just moved to Natomas(north sac) from Elk Grove(south sac,) and I am very unfamiliar with the area. I spent about an hour and my GF spent about 2 hours looking online for a R/O Water dispensor location in...
