Thanks! I thought it was some sort of egg sack at first.

Hi guys:   I have this white cottonball looking grow on my live rock. Can anybody tell me what that is, and is it safe to have in my tank?

cool. I had planned on getting more. my lfs sells it crazy cheap. 3 50 per lbs

ok take a look.

I have about 70-80 pounds of LR might be more. I really don't think there is any dead tissue especially with all the crabs. All I know is that my LFS said that the levels were through the roof and I needed to do a major water change. I have'nt really had any problems with accuracy with my hydro...

I forgot to mention they use the same test kit as I do.

Ok, in the last 4 weeks I have done numerous water changes in an attempt to get my levels under control. I have a 150 gal tank. Yesterday I changed out 30gals, two weeks before 15 gals, a week or so before that 15gal. The ammonia level always seem to be high. On a few occasions my nitrates where...

by the way the sandbed is really shallow about an inch.

No tap! Never, I go to walmart and get ro water. I did disturb the sand quit a bit. so that could be the problem. As for the Amonia. Im not really sure about the amoina. I could be fine and I just freaking out. I never had a problem out of it before. Yes I did test it, but the greens just seem...

Im freaking out some my typing is off. right now i only have one niger and my lion but i do not want to lose them.

tanks been set up about a year, year and 1/2. I just had a scotter benny who is fine but my 2triger and a lion. All small fish

I changed out the water about 10-15gal cleaned the sand and wipped down the inside off the class

For some reason my nitrates are shooting through the roof! I have a 35gal which I just did a major water change and cleaning last weekend, only to find my fish had died two day later. I just did another water change today but the levels are not going down. The amonia is a little elevated between...

I put the rock in last night and just for kick tested the levels. I thought I was going to get something crazy but everything was just about right. I'll wait another day though and test again. Got another question. How deep should my sandbed be my 180gal tank? right now it's about 2" Im going...

ok Im all done with the cleaning project which took a few hours. I'll wait to test the levels in the am. If everything is ok, what should I do next. Wait a few days to add any live stock or what? Right now all I have is about 8 crabs. I really need sugestions on a good cleaning crew for the tanks.

No, the only thing in my tank is the crabs already had in mine. I didn't test the levels in the tank I took the rock out of. I didn't have time. It was a snatch and grab on my lunch break. LOL

A buddy of mine lost the love for the hobby and just let his tank go. It has been sitting for a few months (Not running). There are no fish but amazingly his crabs were still living. I remembered that he had some nice pieces of LR so I told him to fork them over. (and yes, I rescued the crabs)...
