I was advised by many people to add damsels to my tank in the begining. i was told it would help cycle it, then when I am ready to get other fish, trade the damsels in. My LFS will take them back and so will the local pet store. I added two clowns too soon and they both died. I spent a lot of...

The damsels never picked on him. Even when he was sick and rolling around they werent bothering him. I am going to keep the damsels a little longer to be sure my tank is ready before I put any other costly fish in there, but when I do I will be sure to replace the damsels.

ok, thanks I will call them in the morning. I'm off to bed. Thanks again for all your help.

I didnt see where I could purchase water on here, I thought you meant the units. I have jungle something or other test kits now, actually it is like an all in one. I a going to get a new ones this weekend and haev the LFS test my water again.

I just checked them out again. If I am understanding this right, I purchase the RO and hook it up to my faucet. It will then produce clean water, I add salt and when its ready add to tank. Once I get this do I do a pratial water cange or what?

OK, I am with you on finding the cause of my Nemo dying (kids were very upset, as was I). What would you recommend for the ro/di? I was just looking and I am confused at what I am seeing. I really appreciate all your help. I can be a pain sometimes, but I would rather ask a million questions and...

OK, thanks a lot. I will look into that right now. I use tap water and the AquaSafe which I though was OK. Should I be buing the ro/di water and still adding the AquaSafe to it?

Thanks for the advce guys, the fish died though and now I am concerned with the browness in the tank. I started the other one because at the time no one was responding to this one. Sorry. Still new to this. Please don't be upset with me.

What is ro water? I have been doing weekly water changes with about 20%. I took the Nitrate lock out tonight to see if that helps now that they seem to be balanced. What do you think is the cause of the brown stuff all over the tank? Besides the damsels, I also have about 15 snails and 20...

My Nitrates were not fine at the time, they were way too high. the Nitrate lock helped balance them. I do have a glass top on the tank. I do not know the Calcium level, I have not tested for that, I will have to buy a kit. I have a fluval 250 filter and I use air bubbles for circulation. The...

My 36 gallon bow is farely new. i have had damsels in it for about two months. I bought two clowns and an anemone about a month ago. One clown died the next day and now my other (which has been fine) is swimming at the bottom of the tank upside down and in circles. I just noticed this now. He...

Ok, I will look into the lighting. I was told that the clown should come last becasue they are so territorial. What should be the first thing I buy? I am anxious and want to make sure I get them in the right order. I am goingto go with a yellow tang instead og the Blue Hippo. I love the yellow...
