    Slight Bump In Ammonia

    I am using a Marine Lab test kit. I have a QT set up that is hopefully completely cycled I haven't tested it in a couple of days. If things get worse I might be able to move it over to the QT if the water quality is better. Thanks for the advise on the smell. I will do that once I get off...

    Slight Bump In Ammonia

    I am not worried about admitting that I screwed up but this is a quote from a forum listed on this site. Which tells me I was right on target. It took 3 1/2 weeks to get to this point. "After nitrites have fallen to zero, nitrates will begin to rise. At this point the cycle is comeplete and...

    Slight Bump In Ammonia

    I use to think this was a good place to come for ADVICE but I can see that it has been taken over by a bunch of people that just think they know everything to know about this hobby and like to play GAMES. I said I had inverts but never did I say that I had an Anemone. YEA this was probably my...

    Return policies at your LFS's

    7 Days.......... That's pretty good. Every LFS that I have done business with says once it's out the door it's all yours even if they die within that time. I did have a relationship with one LFS where they would give store credit on fish that I found to be too aggressive once they were added...

    Is this Overstock

    This is a set up that I had in Virginia that I need to break down before moving to Florida. I have had SW tanks for about 9 years total. JBird That's one hell of a list. Guess I don't have to worry about mine just yet. I love to see a pic of the Partridge. LOL You don't have any issues with...

    fish dont live very long

    + that. It may be a little expensive at first to buy an RODI unit but it pays for itslf in the long run. You can also buy water from an LFS near you. Just go to Home Depot or Lowe's and get 4 or 5 - 5 gallon buckets. It's well worth the trouble for a saltwater tank............. Make sure...

    150 gal cleaning

    I am kinda new with the sand myself but from what I have read you can vacuum very lightly just above the sand to remove any debris that may be on top. Then if you want to make the sand white and pretty again you can just gently move your hand back and forth above the sand and it will move...

    current Q

    I have a 90 and have 2 powerheads in the tank. They are attached to the back glass at the top of the tank pointed directly at each other so it will created more movement. That way if the fish need to escape the flow they can hide behind rock or swim towards the bottom.

    Salinity Problem ***

    I have just set up a 90 gallon tank with no live stock as of yet. My Sal was reading 1.024 and I like to have it at 1.021. I removed approx. 12 gallons from the tank and added 12 gallons of RODI water and it came out to be 1.021. If you have a 75 you could remove about 2 gallons a day for...

    Angel Question?

    I attempted a Potters in a tank that had been set up for 6 years. He lasted about month. At first he would eat that then jus stopped. I love the fish but since they require perfect water qual and plenty of algae to graze on I don't think I will try it again. 2 others you may want to look at...

    Pygmy Angel Compatibility

    that is what I figured. Thanks you for the input. I will make sure that none of the fish resemble the other as far as color or shape. I am hoping that I can have at least 6 small angels in a 90 gallon with no issues. Have a GREAT WEEKEND......... Cory
