hows your phosphate? have u done a water chang since the algea cleared up?

it's worth the extra money for good test kits. you don't have to buy them that often but look for shelf life dates on them before you buy them,

i would think the live sand and rock from the 20 gal. would be enough to jump start cycling. all the bacteria you need is already in your original tank. i had to replace a tank in a hurry due to some leaks i switched from 55 to 90. i had to put everything into the new tank all at once(not...

if it's the tank in the discription(under your name) and only been set up for 5 months you shouldn't need to add any of that except maybe the dt's for food. what do you have in the tank? that will let you know if you need the dt's. the purple up i used once. it was great if you want to grow...

i've been trying to get it for ever. i always buy rocks from the 4 lfs i go to. thinking one of them would grow.it's always been the pink or marroon algae.as of last week i finally have coraline algae growing,but it's light blue almost lavender. don;t know where it came from but i'll take what i...

sun corals are my fav. they love cyclopeez(frozen) and have multiplied all over the tank. to keep them out i put them in the fastest currents in my tank. one of them is 6 inches from a viaqua 480.

my tank is a standard 55 gallon. my light fixture is4- 54 watt t-5. i've been using 2-10,000k and 2-460nm actinic. would using 3-10,000k and 1-actinic be better for my corals.

i had one for almost 2 years.it was 1.5 inches when i got it.and almost 5 now. it is one of my favs. but it reacently got an attitude. i did everything i could but i had to get rid of it. there great fish vey hardy,but like people each fish is different in personality.i keeped it a 90 gal. fwlr...

i've only seen them in ads. im curious myself if they do what they claim

i used 5 percent limo tint for cars on the back of my tanks. it works great and is easy to install and to clean.if you don't like black you can get many colors right at an auto parts store.

the shrimps leg will be brand new next molt.

my actinic are 460nm which i think is true actinic. all the sand in both connected tanks are live(bought live) i think the sandbed is doing its job pretty well, i have 0 nitrates and haven't had any since the take finished cycling almost 2 years ago. i dont spiphon any of the sand just make...

first off my tank is a 55 gal. with a 40 gal. long sump/ref underneath. the sump/ref has about a quarter of it sectioned off were water enters from main tank and i have skimmer,heater in that section the rest is love rock about 40lbs and a 4.5 inch layer of fine sand. the main tank has the same...

i've seen that to. when i asked about it one store said they keep their salt levels low like 120 and below to kill off any parasites ect. the other lsf said they put copper in all there tank instead of quarentine, maybe i'm in a bad area but i don't think any lfs in my area quarintine.

i use small holes for my breeding chiclids so the small fry can escape the adults.it also makes it easyer to catch them. than i sell them to the lfs help support my saltwater hobbies
