I want to make my sand bed deeper, My tank has been set up for over 6 months now. By adding live sand, do I run the risk of starting a minicycle or recycle.

Yeah...it makes sence....I have been reading more about it today and last night. Ill let ya know how things go.

FshHub: I read around some more. I just find it amazing that it is possible...I think I will try it with the new tank I am getting in July. I am sure I will be posting questions when that time comes. Thanks.

I have heard the the blue hippos are difficult but I have never had one before. I have had great success with yellow tangs. If you are just choosing between theose two....I would take the naso tang...as long as your tank is big enough

I recently recieved a reply to a message in the beginner forum. SOne of the sharks said, "i would not use an airpump in ANY saltwater aquarium, NOR a filter" This baffles me. I dont know of any tank that can go without filtration. I think I am mis-understanding what he/she said. All of you use...

You said "i would not use an airpump in ANY saltwater aquarium, NOR a filter" I can understand not using an air pump in some aquariums but why no filtration. You have to have some kind of mechanical filtration. Maybe I am just confused by what you said.

I have written a program to estimate the cost of a saltwater aquarium. It is at <a href="http://www.fishhelpcentral.com/createatank/index.php" target="_blank">http://www.fishhelpcentral.com/createatank/index.php</a> It will give you an accurate price as well as a cost brake-down.

Everything that is living contributes positivly or negitivly to your bioload. The waty I look at it is this: If it poops, it increases your bioload. If it doesnt :( rocks, sand) it helps lower the bioload

I will look in to it. I am going back today so I will check if they have something for VHO.

I currently use a 50/50 bulb on my tank...I will be upgrading soon to a 10000k and a 50/50. Well. The ballast for 2 bulbs costs like $50. So I wen to my local Home Depot and found one for $19.50. It is amazing how much the fish store marks up stuff. Next time yougo to the fish store for...

Your right...snails will not get rid of ammonia. A good DSB and live rock will though. I have an article that will help. it is at <a href="http://www.fishhelpcentral.com/articles/adding.php" target="_blank">http://www.fishhelpcentral.com/articles/adding.php</a> I lost a lot of fish not being...

I use red sea salt. I have been happy with it so far. Only used it for 3 months.

It is about 9" Right now. I will cut back on his feeding. I was feeding him every day.

I think he was saying be happy because it is normal to have bugs in live rock.

It seems a little suspicious to me that your fish would die with those water parameters. Maybe he was bullied aroundtoo much. They are VERY hardy fish.

I am really excited because I got a new friend (fishy). Here is a link to see him. <a href="http://www.fishhelpcentral.com/newguy.html"> Snowflake Eel</a> Any recomendations of what to feed him would be appreciated. Currently he is eating frozen squid.

The fish ...they are more pleasing to the eye than freshwater. (in my opinion)

yeah, Clowns do weird things you'll find that they have many funny swimming patterns.
