Hi everyone,
First of all I would like to thank everyone for all their help. Such a great site and wonderful people. Secondly, I am here to find out for sure what to do. I have spent hundreds (yes, hundreds) of dollars on fish in the last year or so. As of this date I have one big damsel and one yellow watchman goby left. Also a few snails and some hermit crabs. I can't afford it anymore. I have tried everything including taking my water to the fish store and having them analyze it. I can't seem to keep the parimeters in check even with water changes. I use RO water. Anyhow, I have deciced to go back to freshwater. One question I have is can I keep the live rock when I take out the sand and replace it with gravel? Or should I get rid of the liverock also? My tank is a 44 gallon corner tank with a fluval filter system. I can't believe I had 2 seahorses for over a year with not near as much trouble as I have had with saltwater fish. Any comments would be appreciated. Also, I have a clownfish and a pearly jawfish due to me from SWF that I will not be buying. Don't know if someone else could get these or not. Thanks.
