No offence, but it seems bill, that u have a lotta things backwards in what ur doing, howmuch research did u do before you starte yourfirst tank. Also, live rock always goes in before sand, because if you have burrowing gobies, the rock doesnt fall and crush them when they burrow.

lol there arent fish in the tank it cleared up so its not a big deal and this is my 2nd salt tank and i had no rock in it i wasnt sure why i said that there was rock in it if i did maybe cus i put some in when i put the sand in there from my bigger tank? anyways a lotta things backwards.. like what
i have never encountered this i wasnt sure if it was bad for their gills
it is live sand from the ocean bottom of a reef in puerto rico or florida or something like that but in my bigger tank i used arognite sand then put in more live sand considering argonite sand is dead i believe.
well this one has all live sand and i used this sand in my larger tank and it cleared in minutes so i thought that i could buy a chromis or 2 so i did and why they were acllimating it would clear up
any ways they are well

Well, what I meant by backwards, and dont take offence to this, is you set up your tank, then ask questions, not the other way around. Sorta like youre wanting to get another mandarin even though one is being harrased, PLEASE DONT TAKE OFFENCE TO THIS IM JUST TRYING TO HELP please? And GSD why do you like to ruin other peoples days, its just rude, would youlike me to ruin your day, I think not! And I find people like you GSD who are stupid enough to think like you do are CHEAP ENTERTAINMENT!!!! FYI, Im a nerd in school, who seems to be some of he cheap entertainment in school, and I dont like it.

What kind of research (if any) have you done?? First off your suppose to wash the sand and if its live sand DONT WASH IT. Because that kills the bacteria making it dead sand =)). Your suppose to put the sand THEN the water. Not the water first.

bill, consider the source. GSD obviously is suffering from a cronic lack of self esteem and functioning brain cells. Look what he put for a location 'under a bridge'. Please! He is one of those we have to endure when dealing with the public. You know, the bully on the playground that has to try to run down good people to make him feel better about himself!

Bill is still a jerk..with no regard for wildlife, and more than a few bricks short of a full load when it comes to commn sense.

Hey Bruce. thats your opinion and your entitled to it. So do not try and deprive me of my right to believe Bill is an idiot that does not have common sense or the ability to follow directions. He is just a person that goes off half cocked with an atitude and looking for the answer he really wants to hear weather its right or wrong, just as long as it fits his purpose, is all that counts with him....if not throw more money at it and hope it fixes itself.

Ya jknow there are folks out there that can take a el cheapo tank, play sand, home made rocks, cobble up a filter system, mix their own salt water, make their stands and hoods etc and have a beautiful setup, one would think a professional did. Then there are those that even with buying everything, that most hobbyists would buy still can not do it an dhave it work without major problems, then there is still those that think if I buy the best that money can buy it will have to work, as thats why it costs more and things are all figured out so I only have to throw money at it and the thing falls into place and viola a functioning perfect setup. Bill falls into the later catagory. jjUntil he learns by followoing folks without a vested interest like a LFS has, he is doomed to forever fail and have problems......no matter how much money he throws at it.
