Maybe there was a different aspect on LR having perfect water. If not I maybe look into a different Ref. for your SW. I have always had LR in my FO tank. Is it a have to, Prob not as many Fish stores keep the fish in there without. BUT LR also as stated before is a very strong part in...

I just Trashed my 400. I bought another 55 gal. and the guys said he would throw it in. OKay well Fine I cant say NO to free stuff. Never used it until I blew a seal on my current Filter. Used it for about a month and ended up with a Tank that was about worthless. Fish had HLLE and Specs...

lol This is getting reallly into areas that are very GRAY to all. TO begin with let me add 2 Cents about DETAIL. Broomer I agree with you that you need to pay attention to details about everything you do in life. There is one thing I would like to ponder on tho. Who is to say what water...

I think the BIGGEST Issue here was the Fact that, I think Beth maybe, ( I responded to the actual Post) said something was Totally Unacceptable. I dont think we needed to start a drawn out issue about this. I didnt agree with how Beth worded this either and I stated my point on that Post. As...

lol That makes sense.....Guess I dont like the lights being turned on Bright as hell first thing in the morning.:D

Just wondering what everybody keeps their tank water at Temp wise?

I have a EMP. Angel, True Perc and Pacific Tang. I have had this one Perc for about 3 years now. I love him. As others have said they act like your best friend. Glad to see someone else's Clown Nips at them. I've had my EMP for about 5 months now and he is a trip also. He has also found how...

Hmmm Never noticed that about the doors and windows CLosed up.....HMMMMMMMMMMMMM My Ph stays between 8 and .6 I am gonna have to try that out....Not that I dont believe you, just wondering how much it will affect it

This isnt really amazing or anything, But I laughed my ass of at the time. I jsut fed my fish and as usual the crabs came out to eat, well I look around the corner and see one of my bigger Zebra legs munching on a Snail. Okay I was kinda mad but when he almosted looked at me and drug the snail...

I agree with you. Although I think some factors come into play here. SIZE of tank, How much of a water change, Species of Fish, Hardness of water, AIR in the Tank already. I have not done as much research as you prob have, but I have done enuff to see the mixed feelings on this. I never do...

Thanx for the nice post, As far as alot more work. YES but I think I have learned alot more from this.....

The Maxi 1200 I have has the option of AIR. I dont use this, I messed with it a little but not enuff to get it going, although I already had the air stones going so I didnt need this going. I use mine just to give Fish the current they need and to help stir up any junk that settles. I have...

HLLE is HEAD AND LATERAL LINE EROSION, or Lateral Line Disease. I hope you dont get it either......:)

I too have noticed that and have got mixed reply's. I have always ran air stones in my SW. Except for the 2 months that I tried without. My fish seemed to be happier and more active. But this more than likely was that they were used to the air and then I go and take it away. That's my 2...

Congrats on the success. Dont ever get discouraged because of what someone tells you. UNLESS it's really really crappy news. :) I have been doing SW for goin on about 7 years, and FW about 10 years. I am no way a guru, but I know some people will read some posts and think man I cant afford...

Fresh water, hmmmmmmm, Last time my Oscars had ich was due to TEMP drop, Heater went out and I didnt notice it for about 5 days. I got ICK away, and Turned the heat up higher than Normal. Dont know if this would work with Shrimp, but I also use this with alot of my SW probs to minus the ICK AWAY.

I forgot to mention throw a few snails in. I would wait and throw the crabs in first, let them live for a few days, since Snails are more sensitive to water than the Crabs, but.....

I had a Sand Sifter that did the same thing, Had him 2 days and legs came off. This was 1 day before I noticed my fish becoming sick. THIS LED TO HLLE. I tested water a day before I got the star, and all was good. But all hell broke loose after that. I figured out that the cause of the HLLE...

Not to stir things up among the SW world. Just to let everyone know, mostly the Newbs, That you dont need to spend a fortune to own a Treasure. Meaning.......I have read alot of posts on here and agree with most of them. Some I will not even try to get into. I started my SW adventure when you...

Zebras and Blue legs are Hardy crabs. To my knowledge and Exp. I'm sure somebody will Disagree, but I wouldnt hesitate to put a couple in. Around here you can get them for like $1 or less. SO maybe start with 5 and give them a day, if they are still ticking stock up on them, or get enuff to...
