Well my sand has brown algae on it. Doing a water change today, about 20%. Lost a sand sifter the other day. Clown still doing well as is the trigger fish. Not sure why I keep on getting algae as the tank isn't in direct sunlight and I do not have the light on for long periods of time. I am...

Hi I live in Blairsville Ga. I have one skimmer but feel I can use another. So how much to me, unless you want a trip up to Blairsville, just kidding. Can I pick it up?? I gather it works well, thanks Lynda

Besides skimmer what kind of filter system do you all use. I have a trickle filter and was told by the group not to use it. So what do you use in a non drilled tank. Thanks all

Thank you for the info. Their live rock doesn't seem to have anything living in it or on it. A few had some red aglae on it. The kind I would not want in my tank. It seems like it doesn't have as you say much life. Only store around for about 100 miles. Wish they where better. Again thanks for...

I only do a water change, once a week. I have been doing a wc about 20-25%. Got wrong info from pet store, they said, to hold off that many wc. Oh well now I know why for sure, to sell me more stuff. Thanks again,

I am still building up my rocks in the tank. Had to do that slowly. So I read that everytime I put in a rock I am starting my cycle again. That is horrible. I cannot put more rocks in without starting the cycle again?? How about just base rocks. Will that cause me to re cycle my tank again, hope...

Prob with vodka round here. The tank would never get any of it, it would be drunk by my son and his friends. Poor fish would never get a dose. I am just doing the maintenance the old fashion way, water changes. Oh how happy that makes me. LOL. Anyway, the store said cut them back, but tank was...

Well going back to what the store said, that I should cut back my water changes. Not listening to them. Oh they said to feed the fish twice a day, for about 2-3 mins of the eating a day. I think that is way too much. Not listening to them anymore

LOL I do remember this from the fresh water tank we had for years. I seemed to have forgotten this issue with them, thank you for reminding me

Thank you both and others. I found the eel he is doing ok. found my two shells empty of their little critters. Got them to eat the algae. They just didn't get enough to eat, so says the pet store. Anyway, I am doing a good water change today and going to see what the nitrates are. I know from FW...

You know you are right. They seemed nice sold me this trickle filter. Can give me no reason why to keep using it. It seems to collect gunk, which I thought was important. I will not use it anymore. Thanks for your advice.

Well seems a bit complicated to dose with vodka. Think I will do just water changes. It seems I have a few probs and addressing them. Wow this is work

Ok guess no trickle filter. Yes he didn't give my any reason why not to use it. Of course they turned me to the live rocks and not the ones for base rocks. (not live ones) They of course said, who are these people in forums. How do you know they are not trying to grow a certain fish that doesn't...

It is now down to 70. That is too low right?? Not sure what is with my heater. Oh my nitrates look closer to 40 than 20. Thanks

Hi I was reading about putting vodka in a sw tank. Is that true?? How much do u use for a 90 gallon tank?? Come on that can't be real. It is a Joke right??? thanks
