I know there was a thread like this awhile back, or i heard of it. But I thought that alot of people have very random questions, some who dont' want to make a whole thread on it, some with very complicated answers and others with so simple questions they don't want to feel dumb, although they shouldn't feel so.
Anyways, the rules are simple, you answer the question the person before you posts and then you ask a question. You CAN ONLY ANSWER A QUESTION DIRECTLY BEFORE YOU AND YOU CAN' ASK A QUESTION UNTIL YOU ANSWERED ONE. If you feel an answer is incorrect type challenge in the subject spot. Then right the persons name followed by the explanation. If you want to add a answer/question to the one prevoius to yours please do another post.
Label your answer: A: (then give your answer
Label your question: Q: (then give your question
Well, I'll start off and I hope we can learn alot from this thread..

A. fish should be quarantined to prevent ich and such from getting into your main tank. If the fish shows signs of ich or any other disease, you'll be able to treat the fish in your q-tank. Some methods of treatment are not safe for inverts/corals and such. If you add the fish directly to main tank, and the new fish has a disease then you risk your other fish getting sick also.

A. Low calcium is caused by pour salt mixes and the constant use by caroline and other calcium using animals. If calciums is not replenished with water changes or by dosing, it will become low.

A: Depends on the snail, for algae i would say Turbo's because Astrea get too big. ALthough Turbo's move things around, they stay small and kind of cool looking. THey also help lots of algae.
