    Feather Duster Wont Come out?

    I bought a feather duster about 9 or 10 days ago and have yet to see the feather portion pop out... Is it dead?

    Mini Star Fish?!

    I was at LFS and noticed in his nano cube he had miniature star fish, yellow in color, and about the size of a penny. He said they wouldn't get any bigger and that he would give me some when I come in Tuesday to pick up my PH testing kit and CUC! Anyone know what they are

    High Range PH Color chart PLEASE?!

    Would someone be kind enough to post/scan their high range color ph chart? When I bought my LR a week ago all the tests were behind the counter. I asked the gentlemen for the number of tests and he got them from the wall. Accidentally I was given the Freshwater PH Test. The color range only goes...

    Room temp: 72 Degrees Tank Temp: 83.5 Everything stock. Unreal. I don't get it how do they sell these if they don't even work properly. Fans are working, installed correctly.

    Carbonate KH LEVEL

    ***I have performed Nitrate, Calcium, Phosphate and KH (carbonate) tests in my unestablished, only salt and water tank. I am getting ready for LR/S tomorrow and wanted to test the levels. I was assuming all the levels would be in order because nothing is in the tank and I used RO/DI. Well...

    I am a moron.

    So. I thought it would be enough simply to get a wet cloth, whipe down the inside of my 12g nano to remove dust particles and other unwanted debris. Well, I should have rinsed it out with water because i just dumped my 10g of mixed salt water in the tank and now there are little particles...

    12 gallon nano chamber space

    I won't be doing a refugium in my 12 gallon. WC's and moderate feeding will suffice I think. Anyways I have three chambers. Here is what I am thinking for them. And this may be overkill, I've seen chambers filled with much less. FIRST CHAMBER: In order from Top to bottom, stacked. Filter floss...
