How many days in the system??? Spiny puffers do not like to eat for the first few days. Sometimes a week. Give it time. As far as food: Fish, Scallops, Shrimp from the grocery store. Maybe some frozen formula for vitamins.

I would not say fleas, I like to think of them as the ant's of the ocean.

It truely sounds like you seeing just regular copepodes. Actually pretty sure. And you'll see many more.

Just cause Ph is correct does not mean every thing else is okay.Take Adrians point, Alk and Phos are very inportant factor's. "Think" Your No2 and No3's should be under control that is a given. Adrian knows what he speaks. With polyp they can be very sensitive to Phosphates. Test Ca, Po4, and Alk.

Sam very wise reply. Could not agree with you more. Mr Rodgers I guess sand is cool, and you were correct and the bottom of you website. It is close to a full eco-system. Let me ask you a question???? Why waste this time with all these differnt sand layers. Why not just use a mud/ eco-system...

I much admire the attempt at such a small size of a tank. If things are doing well thats also good. 10Gal is not easy. This is all the knowledge you need. Your aneom--- will grow as fast and as much as you feed it. If you feed it twice a week, I tell you this: I believe it will grow at a rapid...

Some good advice you got indeed. Some bad as well. To be honest, your are right all along. Your size gallon of 75 is an excellent choice for the fish that you have chosen. Also the order that you have decided is excellent. All those fish do fine together. Remember not too big of a puffer. They...

I'm sorry, Does it matter if someone is called a dumb ass, who cares. Let people speak. If you build a ecosystem it will cost more than 60 dollars end of story. So that was a poor statement that was made. Mud alone is 60. I built a whole system for a easy 75, $300.00.

Here is the deal bro. -If you like both get both. -If you do so a 90 is enough size. Maybee way down the reoad you might need to sell them but they will be fine for a couple years. -Now as far as which fish to introduce. I would first try a Huma-Huma. The any other fish you are intending to...

What do you want to know???????

I know KElly, Whats even better is building your own sump and only buying the mud. Works quite well.

Solve prob.. What millinum filter. Wet dry?? Undergravel?? Yes to many filters can create prob. Remember canisters and other filters can become breeding grounds for organics and Phosphates. Two excellante food for guess what [hr] Algae!!!

Understand I do the same thin with taking time and saving money Fish only you can save on lighting Don't need alot Skimmer you will not need for awhile way after it cycles.

Heres the deal, CArbon won't bother CA. Carbon pulls out organics. Protien skimmer does the same. Try this pull carbon. If water becomes cloudy and protien skim and bacteria and not working. run caron for 2-3 days.

Diatoms for a fact. Its probally perfers white surfaces the most. If you want like my man said cut down on lighting. I like to see diatoms they 're just part of the cycle. After diatom stage don't be suprised if you see other wierd stages along the way!!!

Maybee clown will like polypes others okay Probally won't even touch polyps.

All I can say is that BAttery back-up suggestion is poor. This person say so and so 500 model can run for 24 hrs or so. That pro would cost yo alot of money and only 24 hrs. What if power is lost 2 days or 5. Too much money for what it is worth. I f fish only sys. The fish should be good for at...

Keep an eye on it. if it is blue green algae you have problems ,get rid of it.

do this bro First go with regular Ph test... Go old school when problems occur. 1) Add more CA every day very important. 2) Less feeding every other day bud, thats why increase in Pho. You should have no Pho 3) RoDI waste of time whole purpose to pull out Pho and here you are creating it in your...
