    what are the benefits of live brine shrimp over frozen if any?

    the frozen brine has additives.. not sure what the additives are, but if you notice in the frozen cubes, there is frozen liquid.. its obviously not brine juice.. some people make claims that the added liquid increases phosphates in their system..

    Help maintaining canister filter

    install sump/refugium and remove the canister filter from the tank.. the canister can be kept for water polishing but usually isnt needed as long as your parameters are in check.. a nice sand bed and live rock in a refugium will be far more beneficial to the setup and involves less maintenance..

    Coolest QT idea

    you are better off running copper in the QT imo.. if you did have a shrimp or two in there to take care of the fish - or keep them company - you would have to keep removing them when the quarantine time is over as you will want to do a 100% water change on the QT.. jmo

    Mandarin Dragonette

    since it is already eating prepared food, wrap some mysis or even cyclopeeze in nori leaves and place at the bottom of the tank.. This will ensure that it has food pretty much all day long... They love to eat non-stop.. He will be fat as a cow in no time!

    Filter question

    a true freedom filter = live rock in a refugium! virtually maintenance free! and 100% biological filtration! and a home for many amphipods. copepods, and others critters to breed and spread to the main tank..

    how to fix a leaky tank

    like said above, but i have found with the many tanks i have resealed that it is much easier to use a plastic spoon to "push" the silicone sealant into the corners.. it also gives that "fresh from factory" look, and you wont even be able to tell it wasnt from the factory! (unless you are sloppy...
