Hi, I got a 30gT tank with 2 fish in it. One of which is my clown, the other being a purple tang (who will end up in a 75g. I have read that you can have two clowns together and they do well, as one will become male, the other female if purchased young enough. I've had the one clown for...

I got the sand fixed. I put the filter on last night, added the new LR, then I pushed the bubbles up ... the filter grabbed them. I have just a few in there now. I mean like 20-30 throughout the whole bottom, compared to 1000 atleast. I had LR in the tank with water, one thing I forgot. In...

I bought a new filter, Eheim Liberty 100. When I plugged it in, I stirred the sand with my hand some and tried to get the air bubbles up. I got some ... but it still looks bubbly. We'll see what others have to say. I stuck my LR on top so we'll see. Thanks for your time! S

I put the sand in the tank with water, Thurday night, but DH didn't add the rest of the water (not happy about that) but it when I added it as well. I hooked it up today, moved the tank, and added LR. Got 2 more pounds sitting here to go in, but hesitant since I don't know what is going on...

I am so mad that I tossed the bag in the trash. I'm great mind to bag it up in a zip-lok and have a fuss with the store I Got it from. They aren't the kind of store that generally sells crap.

I don't know how to attatch a picture here. There are tons of tiny bubbles all over the top of the sand. When you mess in the sand, it clumps and the air bubbles carry it to the top. I can't find anything on what would cause it. The stuff seems very very fine, light, soft really.

Anyone have a problem with floating sand? I bought reef safe sand from a fish only store, black. The stuff clumps up and floats to the top. Any ideas what is going on? I can't find anything on the subject. Thanks in advance

Oh, the other thing I saw was an undercabinet light at walmart. I believe it was 20watt, but it said output of 60watt ... anyone familiar with something like that. I think my dh could fit it in this hood (I am not electrically inclined, but will be after this). Thanks, S

I want to do a little reef project, no clambs, hard corals. I was hoping someone modified a tank hood from Walmart or has an idea of what I could fit in there from HD or Lowe's. 10g tank. Would a Zoo-med Ocean-Sun bulb do the trick for some lower light corals, possibly an anemone? How about...

Thanks for the tip! I will give that a try! My tries so far haven't worked. I even hooked the camcorder up trying to get a better shot. Problem is, the aiptaisia or duster is so tiny it is hard to get regardless. Thanks! Sass

seaham, I will try, it is very hard to get the thing to focus! Sass

Here is the green algae Sorry I couldn't figure out how to do it on the same thread. Sass

I can't seem to get the second pic, I'll do a new topic sorry!

Hi, I found some things on my live rock. I know I have a few critters (I hope they make it through the cycle) ... but, this one. Hi ya'll, Is it a featherduster, aiptasia, or a polyp? These are the few things I have found similar. Now, we did a touch test for this and read that if it...

Fishman, I'm dealing with this in my FOWLR tank, and was wondering how exactly you took out the rock and scrubbed it? I don't have anything live on mine (apparently I bought live "dead rock" from my LFS, which is common from that place I just recently learned ... How did you clean it?

Just a question, since it's on the same subject, nearly the same question ... what if the filmy algae like stuff is white? What would that be. It is where the shrimp is at? Sass

Thank you Brian, that was my thoughts as well. I'll leave the shrimp alone then. Sass

I added the shrimp this morning, and I am confused. 2 days I tested my water and I was amonia 0, nitrites 0, ph 8.2 salt, was fine too. Have I cycled? I'm confused. My Amonia, Nitrates both 0, Ph perfect 8.2, and my nitrates are now a bit higher at 10. Do I need to remove the shrimp? Any...

Thank you to everyone! I threw in 1 shrimp this morning. I felt like possibly it had cycled but I want to be sure. I'm in no hurry for fish. I'm probably 3 weeks from even considering one. I am hoping that the life I do have on the rock will manage to survive since I am only doing 1 shrimp...

I have my 75g tank set up ready to go. It's been running for geesh 3 weeks, I'd say. 2 weeks ago I purchased LR, and am excited that so far I have some sort of algae (it's the good kind, I saw in a SW encyclopedia at the library), and I have 1 amphipod, and like 3 other things that are very...

Thank you Cindy :)

LOL :) Yeah it's time for bed! I found one more, he's a quite a bit bigger, and just as fast! Good Night! Sass

Fluff, I am glad to have some good news :) Thanks!!! They are amusing little things. I told my dh and he shot out of bed like lightning to see! Sass

Fluff in my excitement of finding a moving critter I forgot something important. Thanks for the help so quickly tonight!!! Sas

I went back to look at the growth, trying to figure out what it is. I noticed I have 2 critters on the LR. They are fast moving little guys. At first glance I thought they had a green tint to them, but I think it's more of a gray with dark grey. I can't tell what kind of legs they have, and I...
