My wife always dreamed to have clowns.... Now she won't go near the tank....

ICE is a ton worse than snow. That is because ice knocks down trees onto powerlines and overloads transformers...much like hurricanes. I would figure that you are in more of an ice storm area, so backup components everybody should have in the closet. I used to live in Upper Michigan with my...

cheato is a live algea that aquarist use either in the tank, refuguim, or algea scrubber (filter) used to remove phosphates, nitrates, and other excess nutrients from the tank. Cheato is kind of like a big green ball of algea and is probably the most widely used.

10 to 1 odds it's overfeeding

Here it goes. Two days in a row, I don't see my Firefish. Four days I didn't see my Mandrin 1 day out of 8 I have seen my new Diamond Goby One day they eventually come out of their hole.

Why shut it down. He was asking whether or not to put the snails back. There are different views. If my analogy to your post was to be viewed as hatemongering, then it will get out of control. Should he put them back or not? I say what's the difference, the ocean can take care of itself, while...

Now...did I say illegal? Did I say that mexicans created all US disease? Nor did I say I hated Mexicans. Of all the 13 times I've been to Mexico and many times more south of there. Those are your words, not mine. For you to say that TB and other disease is not being transported one way or...

That is your opinon...yaY! My wife is a latina...so don't go looking for hatemongering, when it is the truth!

No it is not a racist statement. It is a statement of fact that immigrants are reintroducing disease that we have irradicated. TB, bed bugs...ect. That is because all your racist crys fall on ears of non-logical thinking. Ellis Island turned back the diseased for good reason. It is easy to...

Oh, So I see. There was no bacteria in the oceans before people like you roamed the earth to save it? I suppose that cleaner wrasses were genetically spliced at the Burnham institute in the 60's? Maybe he should flush the snails down the toilet...oh WAIT!!!! They'll still wind up back in the...

I just cringe even at the natural resource department releasing anything foriegn to teh land into the wild, even to combat and infestation, because even the thing released is not native and might do damage, However, I disagree as the ocean has a way of taking care of itself and really doesn't...

Mine did too, however, I believe that flake foods can be high in phosphates. I had my phosphates inch up when my wife would feed flake food, so we discontinued it.

What kind of filtration are you using? Also are you feeding with any liquid prytoplakton food? Also I am reading about these typse of blooms as I am suffering the same ill effects. The tank is clean until about 1:00 after I turn on the lights. Microscopic observations of Lugol-preserved...

Some people say it takes about a month. Mine cycled rather quickly because of all the rock and sand I added. Plus we did the damsel add mistake. We had a tang in place in about 1 week and he was ok and our Nitrates stayed rather low the whole time, even after adding the fish. Others will tell...

SPS = small polyped stony corals LPS = Large polyped stony corals

I don't understand the blowout statement as my Purple Nudibranch got tied up into it the outlet guard and blew it out all over my tank. The flow out of my #2 (600gph) is actually pretty good. I agree about the intake as soft because there is alot of surface area, but most powerheads come...

Oh, And stay away from distilled water, unless you buy stuff made for young babies, as I'm sure they make that as pure as they can ((I'M GUESSING)). That is because some places distill it in copper pipes. Copper will get into the water and potentially kill any inverts and corals that you would...
