Just like most the test kits I've seen, you count the drops until it turns yellow/lime and multiply by 10. It took 18 drops tonight right after a water change and 16 drops 3 hours later. If I'm not mistaken 10-12 is the range I'm shooting for and the only way to lower it is change the water...

I have a harlequin tusk and he eats all my crabs and most of my snails. I try to keep him full but he thinks it's a hobby of his. I have a tuxedo urchin that has lived almost a year and he doesn't get bothered by the tusk, but he's only one man. Can I have more than one of them? He does an...

I've got a few photos of my new tusk. Today is his third day and I've only seen him this morning, Ihaven't been home yet to check on him. He was acting very dissoriented when I got him in the tank. I acclimated him very slowly over the course of 2 hours. Two days before he went in my two...

What is this? Is it bad?

I found a pair of 12" cold cathode sealed lights made for going inside a computer case. They were only like $4 so I decided to give them a try as moon lights. Well, I bought the Blue Cold Cathode ones here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3666&item=5168823668&rd=1 As...

My friend came home today and called me and told me he caught his coral banded shrimp eating his purple BT anemone. He said the anemone has only an orange bulb now with now tentacles. Could this be right? He's had nothing but trouble from this shrimp since he got it, it's eaten or has been...

I have a clown and a flame angel in my Q tank right now. I've already lost one clown, he was dead in 3 days. He looked ill from the time they arrived but this clown now looked happy. He has no visible symptoms. He doesn't really even look pale, but maybe he's lost a little color around the...

I killed off my live rock with copper about a year ago. (Thanks fish dept. guy from PetSmart! 0X ) Well, I've learned a lot since then and my tank is cruising along nicely now. I've added some more pieces of LR and Worm Rock to seed the coraline algea back. I have a handful of puple spots on...

I was looking at the plans over on aloha.net http://www.aloha.net/~hqf/indexdondenitrator.htm I was wondering what the dimensions for this are. Anybody made one or use one? What kind of cylinder is needed. A large PVC pipe maybe? Also, let me make sure I have this right. This is a sealed...

My tank has just finished cycling and it's almost time to start adding fish. My "showfish" will be a Harlequin Tusk. My saltwater friends as well as two LFS's have all confirmed that a tusk and clownfish will get along fine, as long as the tusk isnt' too big to start with and is added last. Here...
