Thanks Jon I knew using tap water would probably be a risk, but i have well water which is quite better than town or city water (live on a mountain in the woods :cool: ) yet i do probably have high phosphates. Have a freshwater and the pH is too hight for fresh water and the phosphates is a...

I use tap water...what is RO/DI? I have 2 tanks and only one has the alge problem.

Broomer5, I have done a couple water changes so far. I also scraped off a couple things that i knew were dead to help it cure faster. I only have 3 decent size pieces curing. It is located in my basement in a rubbermaid container with a couple powerheads. I am planning to bring it upstairs...

Thanks for your help kpogue. I am deffinately not rushing it, its just that this is the first time i have done this b4. I had just recently moved my 75 gallon out of my bedroom into the living room (lots of work) and have been waiting for the live rock to cycle so i don't have to keep moving...

the water has tested 0 for 3 days now. The rock has been curing for about 3 weeks now. This is just new to me, curing LR to be added to an already established tank. Thanks for the help.

I have recently purchaced almost cured LR and have had it curing in a separate tank for about 3 weeks. I tested the water and all my test came out... pH - 8.2 Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 0 ...yet the rock still smelled quite bad :confused: . I have not added it to my tank b/c I have some...

Thank you all for the help. It is just getting costly feeding frozed foods from a peshop...yet I might be getting a job at a Marine Scene and will be getting employee discounts. I will be learning so much more about SW that it will be pouring out my ears! :eek: Well thanks again for the help...

i have two tanks with both blue legs and scarlets (and red legs) in each. They seem to get along fine, yet get more blue legs than scarlets. They both do a good job cleaning my tanks but the scarlets get bigger so you need lots of empty shells ranging in different sizes...which pretty much...

I have heard about making fish food at home. What do you use and how do you make it? It is quite costly to keep buying the frozed food. Any help would be great! Thanks~ ~MS

ReefTankNewbie~ You had mentioned in an earlier post that your "lfs sells fiji lr for 7.99# base lr 5.99# and a heavier lr which i cant remember more spiny looking for 8.99# is this about right or is this too much. it goes down 1$ every 40# (ie 7.99 for 39# or less 6.99 for 40-79 5.99 for...

twoods~ No battle scars here, thank god! Slothy~ I am sure you are right about her defending her home, yet why wouldn't she go after my boyfriends hand?...just mine?

Thank you Bang Guy! I am deffinately going to slip her some $. She gave me the 2 clowns, anemone and rock (about 12lbs)...I was going to buy them from her but she won't take any $ so I'll have to sneak it to her ;)

I have this one particular fish, a percula clownfish that just either really likes me or just thinks i taste good ;). Whenever I have my hands in the tank to clean or arrange polyps and corals, it chases my hand around and has began to nip at me. Never hurts me but deffinately scares me. The...

Thank you Steamboat. My friend had decided to give me the rock since we both don't believe that the anemone will move, it has attached itself to this really nice rock and hasn't moved since. We even tried to turn the rock around out of water flow and good lighting and it still didn't move...

Thank you both for the quick reply. My friend would really like to keep the rock and it is nice to know that it will kill any corals...she has quite a few. I will let her know about the ice cube method, hope it works, the clowns are missing their home :( Thanx again!

I have a 75g which includes crabs, snails, 55lbs live rock, 3" CC, Hippo Tang, Yellow Tang, 2 large Domino Damsels, 4 semi-large Clarki Clowns, 1 long tenticle anemone soon to be getting another. I have always wanted a lionfish and really like the dwarf lions. If I were to get a dwarf lion...

A friend of mine is upgrading her 45g tank to newly bought 125g (which is now her second 125g tank!) and has a long-tentacle she does not want anymore. I am going to buy it from her along with the Clownfish. The anemone has attached itself to a large rock. Is there any easy way and harmless...

Thanks for the reply. I have always liked lionfish and know they aren't much of swimmers but they are still so neat. I am not sure if i am going to keep my dominos knowing that they do get aggressive. They have been good so far, got them when they were really small but as they have gotten...
