I completely follow you. It's too bad I didn't get that much from my HS chem class...nor my college. Here's the link anyways, http://www.tropic-marin.de/ I couldn't really find too much info, but I definitely appreciate all of your help.

It just says copper by itself. Actually, it doesn't appear that any thing that is a natural element is listed as a compound. It lists iron, arsenic, copper, ect. everything by itself. I would assume that it is such an insignificant amount that it wouldn't do any harm, but I just thought I would...

I had a couple of quick questions about this brand of salt. First off, there is a list of ingredients listed on the side & one of them is copper. Any body have any problems, or is this something that I shouldn't be worried about? Second question, there doesn't seem to be any mixing instructions...

My cleaner shrimp hunts them at night. I would make sure the peppermints are getting enough food, but like flip said, the mandarin can wipe pods out quickly.

I'm still up in the air on the idea. I think we really need to think about upgrading again. I have my heart set on a trigger & the boyfriend has his heart set on the reef. Who knows. I just wanted to get some ideas & see if there was a way to combine the two in the current tank, but it...

We're are thinking about making some changes to our tank & just wanted some quick opinions. I think I might be pushing it but...Whats the likely hood of keeping a trigger & a tang in a 75gal tank? I know that I wouldn't be able to keep huge species of these two fish, and im not even 100% sure...

When I first got mine, she was on the "larger" side already, about 3 inches or so. So she has grown about an inch in four months. Maybe a little more. I'll try posting a picture tomorrow, because you can really see the growth in her shell. It's a little more brown than the rest. But as...

I have a queen conch that I absolutely love. We've had her for about 4 months and she has grown about an inch. I think. The new growth on her shell is about an inch out from the older so I'll assume. I can't tell that she's gotten any bigger, but thats just because I look at her every day...

I actually witnessed the same thing tonight, but couldnt get a good look at exactly what he was doing because of the way he was in the rock. Hopefully someone else has an idea.

Thats exactly it. Thank you!

I spotted something a little strange in the tank today. I tried to get a picture, but it was right up against the glass, and I couldn't manage anything that would help. It resembled a snail. It was about an inch long, with antenna on the 'head.' It also had a shell-lie structure on its...

I'm on a different computer than I ususally am, so I can't make out the pictures that well (I don't see anything red, just blue & purple) so I'm going to go with that fact that its on rocks & you said its red...I'm guessing its cyno. Try moving a powerhead to that area & increasing flow there...

im going to take a wild guess & say basket star.

Thanks Roka, I knew that also but I wasnt sure that was what was being implied. I don't think we are going to do the lion though, so oh well.

Sorry if I am missing something, but how would the lion be much more of a risk? If we did decide to get it, I would take the shrimp back to the LFS. What else would be in danger?
