No problem, Much appreciate the advise. I ended up buying just Normal 2-3mm black gravel. Just wondering on your thoughts on using sinkers or led to keeps things under gravel? Would that cause problems to the water if I use led or heaving wiring to keeps things under the gravel? Regards Danny

Thanks guys for your reply. What I mean was the "gravel" that the aquarium wanted to sell me was the one that helps plants grow its kinda a black/grey colour (sorry not sure what it's called) The fake gravel is the ones that come coloured pink,red black etc He told me the natural gravel the...

Just a quick question I went to purchase some back gravel (the fake stuff) to put in my new 280litre tank which I'm setting up as a community tropical Aqaurium. However the guy at the shop recommend me to buy used gravel (the ones that help plants grow, not the fake stuff) He said its better...

Deleted this thread as I posted it in the wrong place Sorry Danny

Hey guys just a quick question. Do sea urchin's damage mushrooms? Also is it true that I don't need any specific lighting for mushrooms? I've got 2 urchin's about 2cm diameter each and just wanted to know because they have spikes if they I'll damage the mushrooms coz I'm looking at buying some...

So I should take it out? I don't want to put anything in the sump so would it just be better taking it to the LFS? I'm assuming it's not safe to keep in the tank??? -Danny

Ok if it is a sea cucumber are they bad? Like should I take it our or will it be ok with fish? I'm also looking at adding sea mushrooms and algae will it be ok with those? Also is there any specific type of food it needs to eat? Thanks heaps for your help -Danny

Ive checked what a black sea cucumber looks like but it doesn't really look the same. I mean the ones I saw online don't have spiked whilst my one does and the spikes look sharp. Size of mine looks to be around 3-4cm, spikes look to be around 3-4mm Like what mentioned the head and tail pretty...

Hi, I did google it but it doesn't really look like any of the ones that came up. Unless It is but a different species??? Are they dangerous to the fish? Thanks Danny

Hey guys, again thanks for everyones input and help over the past few month... Not sure how these things are coming but again today i found something weired in thank. It had spikes all over it and it was long (see attached) if you can tell me if its ok to keep in the tang or if i should...

Hi. Sorry don't mean to sound to stupid but what is HOB? Also what do you mean by 'Do you have a sponge that you can use to seed the QT? if not you can try cycle or night out to jump start things put some PVC elbows in the qt fish need places to hide. I use 4in.' ??? Thanks again - Danny

mmmm this is stressing me out now. The black dots have returned to the fish. im going to get my self a QT. is there any specific things i need or just a bascial small tank with a filter? Where should i be getting the water from? should i be out of my DT? Sorry for the dumb questions but i...

Ok thanks I will look into them today. Are they easy to maintain? Also aren't the mushrooms easy to look after and don't need special lighting? - Danny

Mmm no I'm paranoid again. How long will it be before I see them come back? What are other options if I can't catch him. There must be something I can do? Also do they only affect the tang? As all the other fish seem fine so far?? Thanks - Danny

Just an update Regarding the sick yellow tang: I tried and tried but couldn't catch him. Removing the rocks isn't really an option. So I ended up going go a few LFS and had a chat and the one I normally go to suggested to use the tri sulfate which has a very low dose of copper which she said...
