    Healthy water I agree, the water has to be healthy for these little gems to proliferate. You are well on your way!

    just getting saltwater tank set up

    ick Ick in freshwater fish is different from that of marine fishes. The marine variety is a parasite and is best dealt with by having a Coral Banded Shrimp or Peppermint Shrimp to do a job of cleaning. If you are concerned with ick these would be good first additions to your reef. Don't get...

    Chameleon Parrotfish

    Thanks I was just curious because I am researching a specimen which looks like what I see in that picture and no one can identify it yet. I have to get some pictures posted and go from there.

    Sailor's Eyes?

    Update I picked up the rock with the most specimens on it yesterday. I brought with me to the pet store a cooler with some water from my tide pool in it. The water salinity was slightly high and certainly would not have been a duplicate of the tank environment from which they came. When I...

    Hope I'm not too late If you haven't done so yet don't. Crushed coral is trouble waiting to happen. I don't even know why they sell the garbage. You need to use Aragonite since it will dramatically reduce your need to battle ph among other benefits. Before you get too far in your process of...

    Making Live Rock

    on a different note Chris, I'm trying to identify what I think is an invertibrate like an anenome or something. A local pet store has these growing in a tank they sell Sabes and the like from. They are short, about 2", and light orange color. They have a stem like a real mushroom and the top...

    Sailor's Eyes?

    My local pet store is about to "Torch" some live rock to get rid of some kind of invertibrate. I'd like help in identifying it. I do not have a picture so I'll try to describe it. Someone has said it might be something called Sailor's eyes but I don't find anything on that name. I like the...

    Making Live Rock

    you can do it You can't use just any cement. You need white cement and you mix it with three parts Argonite sand/shell mix. You can go to GARF.org and they give you the recipie on how to do it or you can purchase it straight from them. I like virgin rock because it will not introduce...
