I am a novice, and I just tried to swith from cc to live sand, which I did. Some things didn't make it. Did I shock my tank I wonder? Even before... polyps never want to open in my tank, and mushrooms float away and decompose. What am I doing wrong? My nitrates were high, I'm bringing them down...

I just put live sand in my tank and my husband thinks the house "smells like a whales butt." Does it smell forever or does it die down?

I have had the same problem. I am getting sand tomorrow, taking everyhting out of the tank and juist putting the sand in. I hope it all works out, I don't see why it wouldn't. My tank is 50 gallons so it's not THAT crazy. I'll let you know tomorrow how it all worked out for me. I have no idea...

First off, everyone has been so helpful on this web site. My understanding of reef aquariums and everything is so muchg clearer. Everyone talks about attaching their mushrooms using glue? I have a few floaters that came with my rocks. What glue is it and where can I get it?

What if I got rid of that one and got just one good one. Any suggstions?

Hello. I have a 50 gallon tank and am starting to really get into reef. I have an aua clear 30 for my water pump. I feel like it doesn't have enopugh water flow. How much sahould I have in a reef tank? Should I get another pump? Any suggestions? I plan on having anenomes.

Hey. I put the rock in iodine and now a part of it is smoking. Is the iodine going to hurt the rest of the tank?

can anyone recomend a great water pump for a 50 gallon reef tank that anemomes wont get stuck in? Would you recomend two water pumps for premium water flow in a tank?

I'll try it. I've heared they are hard to kill. Is it common not to open for several weeks? Did you leave it in iodine overnight? Just iodine?

HOw do I know if my polyps id dead? It hasn't opend in weeks. Should I take it out of the tank? Do I just throuw the rock away?

I have begun the process. Thank you all so much!

You are so helpful! Thank you so much!

I have three fish 50 gallon two live rocks one bubble tipanenome one shrimp 5 hermit crabs 2 snails

Clams huh? Should I just do that instead of the switch? Skinner girl...was it worth it?

So, when I take my 2-3 nets out, do I put the live sand in then. or wait until I have taken it all out. Do I vacum the cc before taking it out?

Sugggestions on switching my already well established crushed coral tank to live sand. I have a discussion furthur down, but to add more opinion.... I have high nitrates...I NEED TO SWITCH BUT DON"T KNOW HOW!!! I also don;t understand cycling (other than the first cycling of the tank)

I should get live sand? How does it get shipped to me? I don't think my lps has it. Will I be aable to let it sit while I am cycling it in? I don't know how to cycle.

O.K. Cycle the live sand how? My tank is 50 gallons. Is this my only opion of switching. My other concern is durning January I had ich. I'm afraid of stirring up old ich by moving the coral around.

I'm new to this message board stuff. ow do I find skinnergirl?

How do I switch?
