Hi Thanks for the replies. Yes, they look exactly like the ones listed as "fancy" on this site. I do see the tube sticking out of the sand occassionally as well, but yesterday found one of tyhe two climbing on the rock. HHmm, now I think 2 is too many for a 12 gal. nano. I'll probably move...

I purchased two Fancy Nassarius snails for my 12 gal. nano tank to help keep the sand clean but one of them climbs all over the rocks. Does this mean there is not enough food in the sand for him? I've had sand sifting Gobies in the past who did a good job keeping the sand clean but they always...

Thanks for the replies . I guess there is just no easy way to do this. When you say vacuum out a section, do you recommend say 1/5, 1/10, 1/4, or ? for a 12 gallon nano? I was hoping to reconfigure my rock at the same time beause I'm unhappy with how it looks now that I've added some things...

I'd like to replace all of the sand in my 12 gal nano with new live sand. The old sand is a mix of crushed coral and sand and the tank is about 18 months old. My plan is to carefully remove all LR, corals, and fish and put them in a large bucket, then once the tank is empty, remomve all the...

I've had my yellow tang for over a year. All other fish in tank are great, but the yellow tang is at the bottom of the tank and does not appear to be breathing but it's whole body is quivering (for lack of a better term). It's very subtle and I have to look close, but it's definately...

Hi Briand7878, Yes, I did shake the #2 bottle for thirty seconds. I'm actually quite anal about following the directions to the letter when I test. Drives me nuts when the lfs don't. Now, off to order my Salifert!

Thanks azfishgal. I hate to give up those fish, but I'll certainly consider your points. I'm leaning towards returning them, but I'll have to convince my husband. As for the Nitrates-I decided to take a water sample into my lfs to have them check it. They also use Aquarium Pharm. test kits...

wow, thanks for the quick responses. Here's more info: Yes, it does fluctuate between 80-160 ppm-the test tube is a lovely shade of red. I have also tested the local fish store water-everything tests ok. I don't have a deep sand bed, but should I go that route-do I just pile new sand on top...

I've been trying to reduce my nitrates for months now. They hover from 80-160 regardless of water changes, and regular maintenence. I have a 60 gallon FOWLR. I do a 12 galloin water change every two weeks. When I do this I rinse all filter media, carbon, replace filter sock with a clean one...

Thanks. I did d a search again after reading your reply. My experience is similar to the ones I read about except my water did not turn cloudy, nor was it a milky substance. It was a salmon pink, same color as the worm itself. First one, then another and another and another. Really seemed...

Well as far as I can gather after researching this event, it seems it may have been the release of eggs. At least that description seems to fit pretty well with what I saw. Strange how they all seem to do it at the same time.

I'm doing my regular water change on my 12 gallon nano and all of the sudden a relatively thick (maybe 1/8in) pinkish worm, I think a bristle worm, comes partially out of a rock and begins to squirt pinksih liquid/gel out. The liquid seems to stay together, not really disolving or becomiong...

Thanks for the responses. I bought it. It looks brand new. Turns out the guy selling it owned a pet store he recently closed. He had TONS of stuff. He had several tanks he was trying to get rid of including lots of good corals, fish, etc...I didn't have much left to spend after purchasing...

ok, thanks. I will definately keep that in mind in the future.

The tank has pretty much all filter feeders except for a couple of small fish and small clean up crew. I have multiple polyps, one leather, feather dusters, mushrooms, pulsating xenia. When you say to go with something more significant in the future are you referring to tank size? I do have a...

JBJ 1/5h chiller, less than a year old, $375. Good deal? I plan to use it for my 60 gal. Cris

Thanks for the reply. I was told to give all four every other day (1/8tsp each). I've already purchased and used them, so I can't return them. This is for a 12 gal nano. Cris

Is there any reason I can't/shouldn't mix up a "batch" (say, enough for a couple of weeks use) of these four supplements,PhytoPlex, MicroVert, ZooPlex, & Chroma Plex, so I don't have to add four different things each time I feed? Thanks Cris

Thanks!

Thanks!
