I live on the west coast of florida and I have been collecting water from an inlet to use in my tank for awile now. So far havent seen any problems. I just make sure its clean no trates/phates I also let it sit or filter it well before using it. If the water was really bad I wouldnt see fish...

I would chuck the test strips and get a decent liquid test. The strips dont seem to work that well. Also as for the nitrates not going down too much look at it this way. Lets say you have 100ppm and you change 25% of your water that will bring it down to 75ppm right. So now you have 75ppm and...

This is what I did. Get a good powerful pump like a mag drive. On the inlet hook up a short piece of tubing. On the outlet hook up a short piece of pvc tube and get a regular athletic sock inside the sock put a piece of filter material. Next put the sock/filter onto the pvc tube and hold it on...

I too am having a cyano breakout right now. I have been doing a lot of reading on the subject and this is how I see it. Cyano uptakes phosphate and also some nitrate. If it takes up phosphate you usually wont get a reading from a test kit as it will all be locked up in the cyano. If it takes all...

I live in florida and have been using water from a pass that has very strong current. I collect it on an incoming tide so I am getting clean ocean water. I tested this water and it has 0 nitrates and 0 phosphates just have to filter it some to get plant matter out. I would say offshore water is...

Friend of mine nuked his tank awile back(shut off the elec 3 days before we were able to move the tank to his new house) You would be amazed how many bristle worms came out of the rocks before they died! They were everywhere. I did save some of his corals including a very nice hammer coral with...

your pic looks to me like a one armed Asterina Starfish. They can have only one arm or many arms. When they only have a couple arms they dont look too much like starfish.

That is why no matter what this govt does it will never be able to fix this countries problems. Things are to far gone to stop now. Its a snowball effect. I think this country reached the top of the hill a couple years ago and now its all downhill from here. I cant understand why everyone seems...

I used to keep snakes years ago. I would just use good old newspapers as bedding. Just lay it down on the bottom of the tank and change it out when it gets dirty. If you are afraid of the pinkys hurting the snake you could always kill them before feeding. Also the post above about feeding in a...

I can just picture it....a bunch of lazy white americans digging holes and cutting grass for all the rich people's yards here in Sarasota, FL. If it was'nt for the mexicans here nobody would do the landscaping jobs! Not to mention all the orange picking so all of us can buy cheap orange's and...

Most people dont realise that many illegal's have social security cards and do contribute to S.S. and pay taxes. Their S.S. #'s are not real but they still pay taxes so I think it is only fair that they should be covered also. Also I think many people forget this country was built by immigrants...

I think all the people who are against abortion even though its none of their business should have to take care of all babies that would be left to fostercare or an unfit parent who doesnt want the baby. Its natural for a mother to kill its offspring if it doesnt have the means to care for them...

Why do you people that are against abortion give a crap one way of the other if a mother wants to abort her unborn child? People need to start minding there own goddam business! Its people like you that make it against the law to kill myself,make me have to wear a seatbelt for my own safety, and...

I will be the 1st to admit to seeing a UFO that I dont believe to be manmade. When you see something like I did you have a tendency to believe there is other intellegent life out there mabey closer than we think. I would have to think that if a planet has a similar configuration to ours than it...

How can anybody say that humans have not changed the climate? Yes the climate always changes. It gets hot it gets cold it never stays the same. Everytime it changes there is some trigger wether it be a comet, volcanoes erupting, continants shifting, etc this time it is us that is changing the...

Strange I have a Yellow and a Scopis together in a 72 G and they swim together and seem to like each other. Same body shape. You never really know unless you try. If they dont get along take 1 back.
